Went to work on it. Jacked up the track and ran it at high rpms. Killed it and pulled the plugs. When I pulled the plugs the right cylinder if looking at the sled from the front was smoking a lot and the left wasn't. Also. One plug wet. plug dry. Any thoughts? I have the night to work on it

Couple things..one isnt your problem but you should check it. When you clean your exhaust valves take them all apart and replace the rubber belows on them. you will need to heat up the aluminum nut under the plastic cap to get the belows off. There is usually a massive amount of gunk and sludge build up under there and you may have a torn bellows as well. #2) Fuel pump is probably weak or not working. If it's the original, it has had a whole truck load of todays wonderful gas run through it and the diaphram etc could be cracked/torn etc. Also check your impulse line from the crank case to the fuel pump. All it takes is a small crack or rub hole through the impulse line. The 420's are the right jets. You have something definitly wrong but dont go changing a bunch of stuff to cover or remedy. Those sleds ran like a top in stock trim so if it's not, you have some component that is failed or failing. Keep it stock for reliability!

I'll check the fuel pump tomorrow. Just drained all the gas thinking maybe some water or something in it and I did a compression test and one cylinder had 100 dry 125 with oil in it. The other had about 110 dry and 115 with oil.

Huuum, seems a little odd that one would start lower dry and end higher with oil then the one that started higher dry? One went up 25 and the other only 5? confused

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
