Hi all, my name is Nick im new to this site and new to sledding, just started this year. Im from Calgary and am a mechanic, I work at Nurburgring Ltd fixing mainly European vehicles. Anyways i picked up a 2010 Summit x 163" with a freshly built Rk tek 860BB and some other mods, has just under 1300km on the sled now.
Now onto my question. I was out riding on Saturday and sled ran great all day then the battery started to die, starter wouldnt turn the engine over and eventually lost all power to even spin the starter motor. So pull start it and it starts right up. We start heading towards the truck and 1/4 of the way there all my gauges turn off and just the CEL is on and then the sled just stalls completly. So we try and pull start again with no luck. So we end up towing it to the truck and go home.
Now the sled should run with out the battery so to me i have a failed stator as that is what supplys the sled with power once its running, like the alternator in your car. Am i wrong in thinking this?? I havnt had time to do any troubleshooting but i just want to be sure im on the right track. Is there any common parts that fail that would cause this or just he stator/magneto??
Thanks.
