    2013 E tec motor

    What octane of fuel and what percentage of Ethanol is in the fuel, both could be part of the problem Shell Premium claims no Ethanol while many others use ethanol and I have not had issues I believe that Skidoo does not recommend Ethanol blend but could be wrong, will check later

    How many running Elkas and raptors?

    On my stock xp sleds if you have feet in right spot sled rides around you and you keep your arms loose, amazing after long day out But I have never tried aftermarket shocks May be better on ride in but not sure as I love the smell and sound of two stroke sleds It is the only reason I get out of...

    Getting ready for winter

    How much weight can you handle a lower altitude? divide that by 10 when in mountains But is worth the sore muscles, and amazing an experience like no other

    Getting ready for winter

    Ice scratchers are a must for trail to mountains, rear footrests are great, I assume an e-tec 800, no sorry but I doubt you could ride a whole day and need any extra fuel, unless with riding with other brand sleds I have both 800R's carb n di,

    Another clutch alignment / wear questions (with pics)

    I prefer to use a permanent black marker before I take it apart then I compare with Skidoo Service Manuals, if it ran smooth from the factory well line up your marks, but also interesting to see what the Skidoo Service Manual says SOL & lots of questions if not done first, which is always...

    Rent or bring this sled to Blue River for first Mountain Trip ever?

    I ride 163 doo's and love riding in Blue A Bigger sled gives you a lot more forgiveness & will take you into places you didn't think you can make But as a new mountain rider the Renny will be good as long as the snow is not 2 plus feet deep, plus a guy tends to be braver on his own sled vs a...

    2012 ETEC Summit Upgrades/Mods

    Watch your WOT rpm & adjust from there (approximately 200 rpm/clicker), I normally run clicker 1 until I know that I need the full rpm to help get me where I want to go but I am lighter than most & rarely need WOT to get where others go. When I want full power I tend to look for about 100 rpm...

    2008 summit xp 800 running on one cylinder

    If spark is good as you say you may want to try to spray some fuel into the cylinder that is not firing, engnes need air, fuel & spark (back to basics) Also a good spark is less likely under compression if you tested it out of the cylinder & excess fuel to an extent is easier to ignite just a...

    800R PTEK Reliable ?

    I think you might be happier with a Renegade than a Summit based on your question I sold my takeoff 154" x 2 1/4" track to a fellow in Sk that did mostly lake/trail riding, high speed, low snow/hard pack conditions (trails) If I remember correctly he only had 1500kms on his track before losing...

    Horseshoe (Blue River)

    I still have maps that also said it was going to be re-activated but Robin didn't know anything about that (Holy Smoke Inn) They had to fight hard just to keep what is currently open so between tree huggers & Heli skiing I doubt it They don't even groom the trail into Whitewater, Paradise, Big...

    2012 e-tec (engine only) value

    I have seen documentaries on carbon fibre in use with race cars/boats Super Strong for its weight but designed to shatter into a million pcs to help absorb impact A trade off like everything else, ie durability vs performance vs reliability old sleds never die but new ones kick ass & freakin...

    West Yellowstone Snow conditions & where to stay for an awesome holiday

    Thanks for the replys, I would still like to hear more. I understand how the park tour could be soso with non sledders but I did some research last year & there is a quick tour but I have to check the details again. Would be something very different to see which interests me but I did grow up...

    r motor issues

    I would be worried how the oil works with the injectors, I know that premixing will affect your air fuel ratio slightly in carburated engines, I would be leary of using it with direct injection. Make sure everything is checked over including check valves, restrictions, & what have in the oiling...

    E-Tec Running way too rich?

    I have gotten the letter about the EGT sensor & how it may set of an engine light & has 5 yr warranty due to emission but I have not recieved anything about the Rave Valve problem or low altitute problem. I rarely drive my sled on the flatlands but I do feal better knowing that it runs great...
