@@stevenbaker9327 takes longer to get the things on properly than the fix takes half the time. I mean if I'm busting out the 4 foot snipe on the 2 foot extension I'll throw some actual mechanics gloves on for a minute so my hands don't get bashed to hell when it breaks loose and your Knuckles go crashing into the concrete. Latex won't help ya there. Then I promptly take em off
Another fun video for us sled heads Pete, thanks! I was taught many years ago to use a figure eight knot in the starter cords, has served me well over the years! Cheers!
Wow, those poor sleds are more neglected than a 3rd step child! It makes me sad to see sleds that dont get the proper love they deserve. Keep up the entertaing vids!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Good one! 😉
I'd take any one of them sleds right now and have her on the mountain by thi# time next week. There steals of a deal if it's truthful. Part I don't like is it just says I paid 250 for this. Most ppl recorded the interaction and barter process. Has me a lil suspicious I must say. And it's abandoned but you found the owner and paid for it somehow and got a title. IIM just not sure if a abandoned sled why the heck you wouldn't film that. Funny business. Add a 1 in front of them numbers. Watch the cheap sled challenge on sxs blogs channel. You'll see nothing cheap nowadays. And they were all sitting for 10 to 20 years too
@@NightshiftCustom You have to shim your clutch Sheeves to the belt. Gates is a far better belt durometer wise. The same would happen with Dayco or Ultimax. You must shim the clutchs to the belts as they are not exactly the same Measurements as a factory belt. And if they are not lasting more then 10 to 15 min. Something is wrong with your clutches or your not braking in the belt. I can Toss a 320 dollar belt on and roast it in 5 min if You don't warm them up or adjust your clutchs. I have gates belts That lasted me 8000 miles Before I changed them out.
@@otahu26 no shims needed to on this skidoo that's in the video its very easy to setup and I call bullshit that these belts are better . this sled uses the same belt as the can am x3 turbo's and they pop real fast on them to! I change my belt out around every 2000kms avg and have never had an oem ski-doo belt blow on me yet in the 20+ years I have been riding sleds
Love this channel. I’m a guy that wishes I could live on my snowmobile and ride year round. Enjoy watching you fix these sleds. Anytime you can watch anything about snowmobiles is a good day
Sorry bout yer lack of snow up that way. Kinda crazy to think we have more here in Minnesota for once in a while. Love the vids. You keep em comin and I'll keep watchin em!!🍻🍻
Yep. I've owned and worked on some Fords myself. What a feller, or fellette saves on the price tag they end up spending on over priced parts. And then some. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for another awesome video..I learn lots by watching your videos on sled repair.. By the way up here in Espanola Ontario we got about 1/2 inch of snow last night!! LOL Not your normal winter!
Just stumbled across your channel, and enjoying the content. Learned something years ago regarding recoils. That little square notch in the wheel is used to wind the rope back in. Put it together, with no spring tension, and connect the rope. Put a knot on the outside of the recoil to keep it from pulling through, then pull a length of rope through that square slot, then holding the rope, just wind up the spool. When you get to where you want, pull the rope to pull the slack out, and let it wind itself back up.
Hey buddy awesome work but a few things, you can get a oil lite a arm bushing kit at royal distributing for these sleds to tighten up the front end Nicly! And that’s a x package sled so the shocks need to be rebuilt, not super expensive but will bring back his ride! Your hilarious bud, am subscribed 👌
You have a great channel Pete. Love the content. I share your videos with people I know. Would love to see this channel grow. Just got back from riding here in north Wisconsin. We have a bout 2 feet here now. Hope u guys get some snow soon.
Dude you are the funniest guy I have seen in some time, ( A compliment BTW) Thank you so much for great content and the Awesome sense of humor , you had me laughing so hard on a couple videos I was about in tears.
I was cringing as you wound that damn spring around and around…you didn’t show us how many takes for that process but if you got it the first time well then Bud Lights all around buddy. Another great video Pete…hope ya get some snow soon. We had freaking thunderstorms here in northern Ohio yesterday.
I think the sled engineers are trying to see how complicated(expensive) they can make the new machines ! I enjoy your videos, I currently have a 95 600 vmax an only rode it around my house a few times and once again, the snow has magically disappeared !
Congratulations on the 10k also watching you put that recoil back together brought back memories so had to have a cool down dart to ease past frustration lmfao 🤣
Ya them are so fun. Why can't they just roll it that extra 1/8 of an inch then tape the bloody thing. I swear it's another dirty dealer trick. So they can laugh at and charge ya 100 buck when you bring in your spaghetti and chanisaw lunch. And u coulda bought the whole dang cover ready to go for 10 buck more.
@RedNecks & DirtyHands Polaris IQ and the early Arctic-Cat M series chassis are the only rider forward chassis with big open hood design still nice to work on
Love you video's Pete. As an old sled lover like myself these video's are great. I own a JD400, 1965 polars snow traveler, 1998 arctic cat ZL440. And a 2001ish polaris 600 Edge X.
Nice work Pete cant believe people let there sleds get to that point but that's why they have guys like you to take there money and get them back on track.
Hi ! glad to see that V-Max 500 ! I have a V-MAX XTC 700 tripple 1998 sleeping in storage since around 2011 ! will it still run ? I have the same problem ! yes , the recoil is due for changing ! it broke when i was on the trail alone in the woods ! So i fixed it McGiver style ! So it pulls and starts the engine when it s cold but when it s warmed up from riding it doesn t catch ( hook ) and i need to wait till it cools off then it hooks on and i can pull the cord and get going ! I like that sled ! I put new parts on it just before parking it ! the seat is new, the heated handles, the carbides, the track, the wheel bearings, so i guess a good tune-up would do the trick and ready to ride for next winter ! now i m retired i have time to go for rides any given day ! The only problem now is that it s in storage in Edmonton, AB. and i m around Montreal. QC. only 3,800 km away ! LoL. 😎
You are hilarious love it and your channel.. got the kids a 96 indy 500 and a 97 583 mxz .. i can't start that sucker but my son can .. said this spring and summer we are going to go though them like lice in your hair 🤣
Thanks Pete. Great video. Man I was hoping to see a carb clean on that 98 yamaha 500 just to see how you set the choke and idle and the TORS adjustment. Great video anyways. Keep er going gents! Cheers!
Is that an aftermarket primary on that MXZ? Definitely not the stock TRA. I have the exact same sled but in Renegade form. She should dangle those skis no prob. Keep up pumping out the informative and entertaining Videos!
Right on bro always watch the videos every single one it's definitely a shitty winter for snowmobile. You can always do a water crossing do er up bro I would love to see that
I love Yamaha 2 stroke snowmobile, boy Yamaha made great sleds, not to big of Yamaha 4 stroke sleds, to me it sounds like a road bike motorcycle. I don't know why Yamaha dont make 2 stroke motors for, Yamaha made awesome 2 stroke snowmobile motors , if Yamaha still make 2 stroke snowmobiles probably be a awesome mountain sled
Great vids bud. Why are u a Yamaha guy???? I had a lot of the yammys, mostly the Srx's, had 4 at once. Haha But figured you would be a BRP guy. I'm a Northern York guy(15 min from being a Canadian Brother!) Had the v-max in 87 and every muscle sled since. Lol
really? wow I've been using the gates G force c12 on my 300+ horsepower T-cat with no issues... I find they hold up just as good as any other belt out there but that's just my experience 🍻
You don't see many mechanics on youtube not wearing latex gloves. love it, old timer.
Ya ..
They're askeerd of getting dirty! Was a powersports service tech for 42 yrs.....I didn't need no steenking rubber gloves!
Not an old timer it's a Canadian. We fucking hate gloves while wrenching. Especially fellas with big hands like myself

Agreed. Definitely a fella I can relate to.
Latex gloves last about point 2 seconds until they get a hole, total wast of money no sense in using them
Nice one Pete very cool sign... U have to be a miner to find the motor in the ski Doo it's in there deep LoL 😜...
lol 🤣 thanks 🍻

The hose pliers work well for the spring but I use a shoe lace. Works amazing. And you’ll almost always have one
"If I'm going to pay $400 to ride something it ain't going to be a snowmobile" best quote ever!

Ya...fun with recoils!.....especially when they break in the midde of nowhere at -20 f. !
Snowing here in the Adirondacks! Let's gooooo!!
Bruther...it's amazing your success without penetrating oil
Cheers from MN. 🍻🍻

Very good and entertaining vids and a good eye for preventative maintenance issues and addressing them😁 Not many people get their belts from NAPA.👍👍
I'm 0 for 2 on rebuilding those recoils. Spring went flying both times and so did my patience.
I just bought a new assembly. lol!
lol yeah I hear ya! they can be a real pain in the a$$ 🤣🍻

Look like bad snow season where you from. I remember your videos you have few feet of snow by now in middle of January
When I do the recoil rope I usually put a couple drops of superglue on the
that's a good tip right there! 🍻
I miss riding them
I am looking for 1978 exciter 440
On the MXZ you need to add outer wear bars to the edge to prevent them from wearing out

lol might just have to! 🍻
Yo get you a ratchet wrench that goes over yer spark plug socket. That's how I do the plugs in the boat. All 16 of them. 🙃

good times

thanks! they will be available soon 🍻
good deal an cheers🍻🍻🍻
