What model 1100t any mods to it?
2012 standard m with boondocker 2.0 and can. worked fine last year
Sounds like a head gasket to me. Is your coolant level low?
Mine acted like that when I had water in the gas.
If he would let the sled sit and cool, he could make one good pull then once off the throttle it would run like crap. I believe he was running straight av gas. not sure if its new fuel or from last season.

I suspect you have air in your cooling system.
Whats the best way to burp this system?

There is a bleed bolt on the head between the to header ports. Phillips/hex option.

How much of a pain is it to get the air out of the system afternoons work to the engine and having the collant level drained or low? Going to be doing head studs was wondering about this.
I to agree if your engine is saying its hot it probably is. If you suspect something from the box unplug it. But surely verify that coolant is full otherwise if the head lifts and gets hot your likely to need to pull the head and check it for trueness before doing the new head gasket. You'd be surprised how mush pressure hot gas from a air bubble can make and blow the head gasket.

It is pretty straight forward. Raise the front of the sled so the bleeder screw on the head is higher than the rear heat exchanger.
Fill with coolant. Place the hood on the sled in such a way that you will have access to the bleed screw while running.
Start the sled, let idle for a few seconds. Refill coolant tank. Restart engine, display coolant temp on the dash cluster. Crack open the bleed screw while the engine is running. Open it enough so a small amount of coolant is dribbling out. Once both sides of the rear heat exchangers are hot and engine coolant temp is approximately 180 deg, close the bleed screw. Lower the sled and remove hood. Let sled cool completely and refill tank. DONE
PERFECT !!
