Track Wont Turn or Start When Cold

[Deezy]

2018 Sno Pro Early Release. Went to push it off the sled deck into the garage last night and the track was locked up and would turn. Tried to fire it up and it wouldn't pull over.

Later, when it was thawed up I pulled it across the garage and was able to pull it over and start it.

I have a TKI belt drive on it and I am wondering if others with belt drives are experiencing similar issues. Could it have something to do with the defection of the belt drive? I'm pretty sure I need to tighten the tensioner up as the belt on the belt drive is a little lose.

Any thoughts??

Drive clutch, maybe water got into the bearing and froze?

Not that I would ever admit to this, But, is the park brake on?

Brake wouldn't affect pulling engine over...
My brother lost his deflection bolt out of his secondary and it took 2 of us to pull the sled down the ramp from a sled deck on a superduty with an 8in lift. (Very steep ramp)

Nope, parking break wasn't on. It was really weird. when I pulled the cord, it wouldn't pull the whole way. It acted like it was seized up. As far as I know, secondary auto adjusts for deflection, no bolt. Weird stuff.

Correct, self adjusting, thats why it must be the bearing on the primary.

Thanks! I'll take it in to the dealer and have them look at it. They replaced the entire primary as part of a recall.
