problems with xcr, something snapped?

[ryuloudog]

I was tightning my chain on my 95 xcr beacuse it was making a type of grinding noise so I thought it maybe the chain loosing i tightned then when i was moving foward I think the chain snapped. I don't know much about snowmobiles internally, but i guess i'm gonna have to learn. Is chain the problem the clutch engages but track doesn't move. Is it a hard job?

Gees how tight to you tighten it? Sounds like you have some fixing to do. Just be lucky it happen at home than somewhere away from home.
Not really hard to fix just drain the oil out take the cover off and you will see what the problem is I would think.

How tight did you make the chain? Did you pull the chaincase cover to see what's going on?

Not tough...pull the exhaust and the chaincase cover. Probably broke a chain...was most likely going in the first place.

I finger tightened it, I think there is some other problem going on there, but it snapped!! How much $ in parts you think?

Make sure you look at the bearing in the bottom of the chaincase, that could be the grinding you were hearing. It is not too bad of a job, just pay attention to how you take it apart. ggod luck
