    Very weird problem.

    I'm working on a 98 Cat, ZL500. It runs beautiful, pulls normal and starts normal warm. It will not start cold unless you put fuel down the plug holes, then fires up first pull and runs normal with choke for a bit then stays idling and running normal. Been through the carbs and choke system...

    Why stay and play the Leafs?

    They have no clue how to beat them! They get beat everytime and shut out half the time, they should let the Leafs have the win and come home and practice. I'm not even gonna watch tonight!! So depressing!

    Just another rural internet thread, LOL. Explornet?

    I have a Telus Smart Hub, and like everyone else, worked good for a year or two and getting worse and worse, now we have 1 to 2mbps most of the time and none a fair bit. Wondering if anyone has gone to Explornet's new 50mbps plan? Internet reviews are all terrible for Explornet but my neighbor...

    Big Horn closure article(with a poll).

    This might have been posted, I couldn't find it so I thought posting it again wasn't going to hurt. Part way down the article there is a poll and so far it's overwhelming to keep it open. Be sure to vote in the poll. Not anything official but one more thing to show support to keep it open...

    Fire advisory?

    We're supposed to head out west this weekend. I just checked the Fire ban site, and last night they just threw a "Fire Advisory" on for Rocky/Caroline west areas. https://albertafirebans.ca/ What does "Fire Advisory" mean? Can't find out what it means exactly. I found this page on Bans, and...

    A few pics of a Az desert ride.

    A ride we took in December from my place in Yuma, out into the desert to an old abandoned mine and what's left from an old plane crash. There is so much to see out in the desert. Even found a beacon south of Yuma towards Mexico, to summon the border patrol. ;) Gonna head back down in March:D

    RX-1/Apex crank repair.

    Does anyone know of or had a crank rebuilt? The shops I've talked to, do grind down only. CV-Tech doesn't do 4 cyl cranks and a new one is over a grand. Might have to bite the bullet but thought I'd see if anyone knows of a place to do a weld up and grind down repair. I've tried to reach Mots...

    98 Cat ZL500 problem?

    Have a 98 ZL500 EFI. Fuel pump was shot so I replaced it. It now pumps but only makes 20lbs of fuel pressure. The machine actually runs but is boggy down low. The machine is supposed to have 45lbs of fuel pressure. I tested the fuel pump voltage and it reads 14 plus volts until I plug in the...

    Importing and selling in the US?

    Does anyone know what all is involved? I've bought in the US and imported into Canada a few times, but have never taken anything down. I know they have titles down there and it's a bit of a hassle to get one but don't know if you need one on Canadian vehicles. Is off road stuff different than...

    RZR 1000, Apex turbo engine project.

    Going to put a turboed Apex motor in a 2014 RZR 1000 chassis. Transplanted lots of motors in my day so it shouldn't be too big a problem. 08 Apex motor fully built with a 2871 turbo. I'm planning on only running pump gas, around 12lbs of boost most of the time. Should be 250 plus HP. Just...

    Fuel and the border?

    Does anyone have any experience with taking a drum of race fuel across the border. I'm taking a drum south with me in the back of a pickup. I know guys that take them across in enclosed trailers but what about in the back of a pickup when the border can see it? I assume it's fine, I know it's...

    Staerter ring gear for rev?

    Where would a guy find one for the back of the clutch for an 07 800R? They want $280 for a new one! I tried the Landon(Sled Parlor) and he doesn't have the right one. I tried to Dusty at Snowmobile Recylcers and it said, " number not in service". Anyone know where else a guy could try? Thanks, Dan

    Yamaha- ET 340, strange problem?

    It's an 80 or 81 and works great, starts great and runs awesome, if it's at room temperature. If you leave it outside, even if it's above freezing but only plus 5 or so, it won't start and there is no spark. Put it in the shop and a couple of hours later has spark and runs like a top. Sits...

    Big Horn size.

    I had 27" Big horns on 12" rims on a RZR. Wanted to go with 14" rims and a little bigger tire. I went to 28" Big Horn 2.0's. The problem is the 27" Big Horns measure about 27-1/2" inflated and the 28"- 2.0's, measure 26-1/2" inflated! WTF?! That was a lot of money and a big step backwards. :mad...
