my poo stinks

[black swan]

since dave and corey are probably the 2 best poo mechanics i know, i'm asking for input.

stock 155
1700 mi, rebuilt primary stock secondary w/ stiffer spring stock helix
sled start to slip/miss the belt when it was punched at 1/2 throttle.

Cleaned everything and replaced belts and pri spring......then while towing out a dead sled it got really bad. Cleaned everything again, last ride on hard snow.....sled felt like a it had 50% less power, and would not go past 7500rpm....was tuned for 8250....complete turd....felt like a 440 at 10k.

Upon inspection found, vacuum hose from ex valves disconnected from pump...and a ton of belt dust again....could stuck valves cause this?
Torn ex valve diaphams?

Tomorrow, tearing down ex valves and clutches.......ideas?
We also have another 11 assualt doing the exact same thing.

why is oil reservoir almost empty??..........stuck pump?......
plugs are new, 2 sets tried.
all electical connections opened, greased, and tightened.

7500rpm.....exactly.....uphill, downhill, meadow racing............7500...

injectors?

Check the Bellows. If the valves dont open it will do what you are describing. The solenoid only keep them closed so if its disconnected they still work. They just open too early.

 

[black swan]

yes!!.....hoping that its that simple, thanks a million Corey.

What goodies are you stocking for the pro's this year?
Thinking a rsi bar, tunnel bag, .....ideas....

I have found that the oil pump springs can be weak. I don't remember what I did to fix it. I had a bunch of issues with primary springs breaking and the weight bushings wear quickly. I use the arctic cat weight shims between the wear side and the weight once the clutch wears a bit.

We tried to get the booth next to you at the snowshow but they only had a 10X10. Silber and us are splitting a booth.

I have a couple of skinz ones in stock. We will have 2 new stockers as soon as our new sleds get here.

My booth last year was a 25 x 50 which looked ridiculous when I only had a 10 x10 EZ UP. I am splitting a booth with BCA and Duffy this year. Should look and be a lot better setup this year. If you run out of room getting stuff there let me know. I have a new 4x4 E350 that has a ton of room with the seats out.
