getting ready for the season to come. For the last 2 seasons I have been trying to figure out why the sled is getting so cold blooded. It used to be 2-3 pulls done when it gets cold. Now I could pull all day and nothin unless I use some good ole either.

I have had the carb rebiult and the fule filter replaced. all the fule lines look good. What else could be wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thank you for your input, I am wondering if this Impulse line is a fuel or a vacuum line? I was thinking of replacing all the fuel lines and cleaning connectors thinking air may be getting in the lines. But once the sled is started all is good. I would think if there is a fuel or vacuum issue I would get backfires and irregular throttle?

The impulse line is the hose that goes from the crankcase (usually on back,carb side) to the fuel pump. If the impulse line is cracked or has a small hole in it, the sled will be extremly difficult to start. It may still run after you get it started but if it's cracked the fuel pump won't operate properly making it hard to start.

When is the last time u had the carbs cleaned, usually the pilot jets will become plugged or the choke circut will be restricted with old gas varnish , this is a common problem with todays poor gas, cleaned hundreds of carbs over the past 23 years as a sled mechanic, also check your compression, should be 130-150 if in good shape.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
