Tearing My $650 Snowmobile Apart with No Experience!

- A couple of weeks ago, I drove out to Anaconda, Montana to buy a 2007 SkiDoo Summit 800 snowmobile for $650. I have never owned a snowmobile and knew just about nothing about them prior to this. The sled would not start and the previous owner told me it was diagnosed with low compression and was in need of a top end. After some effort to start it, I decided to move forward with tearing the engine apart. After feedback from my first video, I decided to pull the entire engine. What I found will set back my timeline a bit, but this thing will be ripping pow turns in the near future!

You pulled me in with the sled build. Keep at it. Thanks
Much appreciated! 3rd video just went live and more to come soon!
I love that you are trying something new but in a logical way i have worked on sleds my whole life and I always see and hear of people who know dirt bikes and get into snowmobiles and act like they are a chicken with there head cut off. There is a decent amount of differences between snowmobile engines and dirt bikes but the overall knowledge is the same and it seems like you are using your best judgement when u don’t know what to do love this series and I am excited to see what happens with the sled
Appreciate it, glad you're enjoying so far!
Well done! Thanks for making the huge effort to plan the video, perform it, edit it, and post it. Bring us more on the sled.
Haha! More to come for sure!
Power seal USA is another shop that does a good job on cylinders.
Regardless of the damage to the thing, you really did get a great deal on it, nice fix too
Thanks, stoked to get the thing running!
Good stuff Kincade quality content 🙌
Thanks Elliott!
Hey Kincade, been a follower since the icerink5am COD days. It’s funny but I actually don’t have any interest myself in riding dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or working on engines at all but still love catching your content when it drops. Just wanted to let you know I thought this is one of your best videos here (right alongside the- I spent my summer upside down from years back). Keep up the good work my friend.
I really, really appreciate this comment. Just the other day I was thinking about subscribers and the previous following I had built in the CoD days, and wondering how often someone from way back then watches these videos. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this video, and even happier to hear you remember that summer 2014 video offhand. Thanks a lot and all the best!
You'll have no problems figuring out sleds man, they are probably less complicated than dirt bikes... They are literally just an engine, clutches, a chain or belt drive, and a track. The clutches seem like magic but they're conceptually pretty simple. Don't know if you have any previous sledding experience, but you live in one of the best states to ride. If you like riding bikes off road/track, you'll definitely like sleds. I'm no expert by any means, but riding sleds has made me a better rider on everything. Just wish I could do it more. Keep up the good work 🤘
I have only ridden sleds 2 or 3 times with friends over the years! Looking forward to getting this thing running and getting out there!
Now that you loosened that engine tourq bolt when you put the engine back in you'll want to measure the distance fro the center of the crankshaft bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole on the secondary clutch to make sure there is proper distance to you have proper belt deflection and tension
The excitement with the fly wheel got my dyin lol
I spent so long trying to engineer a solution with the tools I had hahah! That one was a big win by the time it finally came off!
The toughest part at home is getting the sleds front end high enough to get coolant all the way through the tunnel and get bubbles out, a good lift of some sort to burp it and then jack the track off the ground to run it will be crucial
Would never have even thought about it, thanks for the tip!
I did this with a 2010 skidoo XRS 800... bought for like $1200 and planned to "just do a top end".... Ended up with a whole engine rebuild, rebuilt both clutches and replaced the whole heat exchanger.... never again lol
Got her up and running though?!
@@KincadePavich she ran great! I rode it for a season as a back up sled and then sold it
If your looking for content the jackshaft and chaincase along with the skid probably need bearings and bushings all around along with new oil in the chain chase and proper chain tension, remember too loosen the limiter strap when the skid comes out
I plan to change the oil, but not sure how much farther I plan to go as of now. I wasn't aiming for a full service with this sled - I just want to get it running and go ride it! We'll see how things go though... Thanks for the comment!
Northern crankshaft is the place I deal with
love it
Now comes the part where I’d baggie and label everything. Throw it in a box and 3 months later I’d be scratching my head on how to get it back together.
Haha I bagged everything but didn't label much - I might have too much confidence in myself. Will find out!
throw a new oem stator on it, it is expensive piece of mind. if it fails out on a ride, you are screwed
I was a rental sled fleet wrench and every sled got a new top end and a brand new stator every season
More videos
Working on it!!
What kinda overalls did your gf get you?? I can’t find the video where you mentioned it 😅
Engelbert Strauss!
@@KincadePavich thank you 😊 can’t wait to get a pair they look cool
So.e free advice when buying snowmobiles that don't run or need fixed do you homework on tools you'll need to work on them I have plenty of tools , I have probably $10,000 in tools
Buy a repair manual
