    Where is the best place to buy short block?

    2008 summit 800 with about 4500 kms and my primary has quite a wobble at low rpm. The compression has held even at about 110 per side but it does not like going in to reverse and is starting to act weird. I'm told it needs a new short block. So, is the somewhere other than a dealer I should be...

    who is the skid steer expert?

    I'm considering buying a skid steer to do some work around my place. I have 3\4 of an acre of sand to play with and lots of rock to move. I can wrack up a pretty high rental cost, so I thought it might be better to buy one to finish the job and then either put it to work or sell it to re-coup...

    How do I take payment by credit card for rental?

    I am looking at renting out a suite in my cabin on a nightly basis. Does anyone currently use one of these credit card processing companies, or even paypal to take credit card payments over the phone? If so, are you happy with them, how much, etc. There seem to be lots out there, but I am...

    Wanted: BCA float 30 bottle

    I bought two packs from Tom at McBride Motorsports when he was at the sled show in Edmonton last October. I wrapped one pack and gave it to the wife for Christmas. When she opened it there was no bottle in it, so now she thinks I'm trying to kill her (upping the insurance around the same time...

    Where do I find slip tanks for under a deck?

    Does anyone know where to get a tidy tank or slip tank to fit under a marathon deck? I have only seen one and it was almost two grand custom made, and the deck had to be heavily modified. It would take a lot of fuel savings to make up for a 2k tank.

    Found cheap insurance

    I shopped around for cheap insurance and landed at State Farm in St. Albert (Michelle Broadbent's office). I put full coverage including collision on a 2008 xp 800 for $360 a year. I thought that was pretty cheap. Without collision it was only $140 or so a year. I know Drayden in Morinville...

    Specialty's compression test - suspicious?

    Soooo, here's the short of it. My gauge was busted and I needed some clutch work done. Go to specialty and while it's in they do a compression test for me. 90/96 psi, so time for a top end. I am too cheap/broke to pay their rate (quote 10 hrs plus parts), so out it comes for me to do it...

    Anyone want to do a top end on an summit 800?

    Psi is down to 90 a side. Cylinders look ok but have not been measured yet. No squeak, just low compression. I talked to a couple places and have heard anywhere from 3 to 10 hours to do the job. That's a huge variation changing labour costs from under three hundred to a cool grand. I know...

    F350 service question - fuel filter

    2004 F350 with 6.0L diesel. Do you have to bleed the fuel filter when you change it. It looks like the drop in cartridge right next to the drop in fuel filter, so I don't know how you would bleed it, but I don't want to crack it until I know. Cheers.

    Online photo storage?

    I have thousands of photos on several different drives. They have never been sorted or properly labelled, and now some of them appear corrupt. In the days of old I would burn to dvd, but it is painfully slow and no guarantee they will last. Anyone use an online storage and/or organizing...

    Who makes money snowmobiling?

    Is anyone getting paid to sled? Videos? Tours perhaps? Factory test pilots? You are all gods to me. That is all.

    Should prostitution be legalized?

    Sweden released a study showing that making the purchase of sex illegal has lowered prostitution and reduced organized crime. Denmark and Norway are adopting it. In Ontario, they struck down the Canadian laws as unconstitutional. Who wants Amsterdam, and who wants Sweden? Just curious. I...

    Techs at Riverside Skidoo?

    I have had two bad experiences over the last few years but I am being asked to come back to Riverside for some service work on my doo. Once bitten, twice shy, as they say. Both bad experiences were a bit of a fight and I had to cash in on a personal connection with a boss to rectify, but they...

    Best sled under $5k to get the wife back in the sport?

    Sooooo, the warden has ordered the purchase of a new sled, but unfortunately it's for her. I am not buying a new 600 etec like she deserves, (or I'll be working overtime instead of riding). This year, she gets a sled for $5000 or less. We'll renegotiate next year. What is the best bang for...

    10 HP/lb of boost?

    Does that sound right. Buddy here is telling me his 2010 nytro is pushing 240 HP on 12 lbs of boost with just premium gas. Sounds high to me and he has not dynoed it. Any experts to back or refute this?
