So in the begining of January.. me and randy went to montana... bad idea.. 1700+ miles round trip.. left friday night.. came back saturday night... 27 hrs of straight driving with only 15 minutes of total stopping time on the way there. about 30 minutes stopped when we got there. and maybe 15 minutes again on the way back.. lets just say the trip was horribly long. I was told this sled needed tuning of the carbs... got it home.. tried to figure the carbs out for about a week.. decided to take er in. well about in february.. we finally got it fugures out it was a bad crank about 40 degrees off. that was after carbs cleaning, new coils. and looots of tuning.. adjusting timing.. ect. so i buy a new bottom end.. had a big bearing kit.. got the engine put back together. tried to put clutch on.. wouldnt fit.. the bearing kit made me have to get the clutch machined. finally got the clutch put on.. weights were off, since it was from montana.. re-weghted it.. still nothing..
had to then take apart the secondary clutch.. adjusted that.. well.. all together i have about 2000 into my 750$ sled orriginally.. damn.. sux..
its pretty clean for its age..
slp triple pipes
144x2 track
simmons skis
drop & rolled chaincase
ekholm tunnel
So it had quite a few goodies put into it.. still costed a butt load though :(
here it is anyhow..
oh the garage is getting too full.. had to tip the 400 up so this tank can fit in there . lol
looks good
I can't wait to get out and rip on this beast! :clap:

Especially in the winter.

Well, I would be heading to the parentals house to rip some snow up!
Especially if you have 9'' on the way!
~Brian

My old Jet SKi had a triple cylinder. It would haul ass. Two stroke, oil injected.
~Brian

You're wishing you were at the parents pad?

Will it melt by Saturday?
~Brian
If you guys need some trails to ride with 18" of snow on the ground, you need to head to central WI. And if you need a place to crash, let me know. :thumbs:
nice...but could have been a raptor. Your snow will melt next month. :(
Then you will have to ride your stock honda, and be mad. Sorry bro.
:rofl:
Stock as in 440 ;)

hmmmmm...maybe just for a day, truck has full coverage, how bout the sled?
not yet. But i CAN get it asap! :clap:
i wish i had a sled. there just isn't enough snow around here to make it worth while.
Did you ride the sled this weekend Ryan?
~Brian
Haha! umm i tried... it seems to have some carb issues. Hit the gas, goes good for a second or two, then falls on its face. Brought it back to the guy who worked on it and hope to have it this week again. Next plan after that is to sell it. Hopefully make a little $$ on it. OR try to break even :P well see.

Sounds like the main jets could be off. Your throttle response from idle to almost half throttle are controlled via the pilot jets, and the main controls the rest. Did you guys rejet it after bringing it back from Montana?
If you have not changed the jetting, I would start there first.
Bozeman, MT elevation = 4810 feet ASL.
Minneapolis-St. Paul elevation = 840 feet ASL.
I know you live north of Randy, but I don't know what city. Little Canada's elevation is 982 ft ASL.
~Brian
Yeah we re-jetted it. I know we did the mains for sure, started with 210's and bumped that up to 290's. Not sure about the pilots.. that may be the issue, im gonna stop there tomarow, ill have to ask him if he switched em or not.
AND no... the drive is definatly NOT worth it. Ill know for next time to NEVER do that ever again. I would also NOT recommend others to do that also... unless of course your CRAZY! :D
Way to go on the elevations too.. really on top of ur game arent you :grin_nod: Well im still in Braham MN also.. dont know the elavation. Do you?
Braham, MN elevation 958 feet ASL.
