PDI fail

Team Pigeon · Mar 28, 2021

Not sure if the power valve to servo motor interconnect cable is part of PDI set up? But my buddies sled was missing it when we were rooting around under the hood for a low rpm issue. #skidoo
The servo even has the circlip. Pretty lame to be riding a 600 on his days off- All. Season. Long. WTFO.

By the look of that ypipe, that is far from a sled that was just PDI’d.

Fuk you’re observant.
It was PDI’d and purchased in the fall.
Sled is trailered- in the kootenays.
Sled is only ridden 2-4 times a month.
Last month we found the clutch was also missing roller bushings so we thought we had the issue figured out and didn’t go any further in looking around. Still wouldn’t reach 7900.
Was gonna see if it’s got 951’s next but it’s a 174 sooo we’re assuming it’s got 994’s. Then we found this missing cable after removing the hood and pipe so it’s been ridden like that all season.

Your suggestion that we’ve removed it is pretty lame.

someone is borrowing parts off that sled. These things just don't happen from the factory or PDI. Pretty strange. All those machines are ran up in the factory and it would throw a rave code with that cable missing and would not run properly.

was the sled purchased new or used from the dealer?

that roller bushing is rubber however, that could have failed and fallen off.

Another Serpico on this site.
Sled was new. They’re coming into my buddies garage when he’s in sparwood working his shift and removing odd parts.

Look at the picture really close, the servo doesn’t even have wear marks on it.

My guess is that that cable was either missed at assembly or was robbed to help a customer and forgotten about. That is not something they would install at PDI.

He couldnt tell there was something wrong while riding it around all season?

Power valves not opening is usually pretty noticeable.

Like Maxwell said there should have been an engine light from the get go. Not sure how you miss that?

The good news is, the sleds going to feel like a rocket when you hook those bad boys up lol

im not saying that, im saying it was removed at the dealer to get a customer on the snow and overlooked when sold. No way it was PDId like that or left the factory like that.

I think pigeon man needs to move on to a another site to figure his problem's. Members are trying to help him out but he doesn't appreciate it. He's not hearing what he wants to hear so he resorts to name calling.
What ever the issue, to bad, it doesn't effect me or any of you guys. Maybe pigeon man needs to try being more civil.
All the posted answers are correct and good.

There hasn’t been a light go off or a code. Are you saying this from experience, or is it your ‘feelings’ that it should be this way?

I've had a dealer Doo that for me when I was bought my new Doo in 96 and had warranty issues, and no in stock inventory. So they would rob from showroom sled, to keep me going

I was a dealer for 25 years and know my way around Buds. How about you?

Lots of good dealers will do that. We used to put a tag on the showroom sled we robbed so it didn't go out until the part was replaced.

Was there a document fee charged for this sled?

I’m sorry but, that the pot calling the kettle black.

My sled is on a deck 95% of the time and the clutches and ypipe do not look like that! Where you got the impression that you guys removed it from my post is puzzling, I didn’t say that.
You need to be clearer on your posts and a lot more civil if you are looking for help or answers, that sled looks well used to me and I’m having a hard time believing that was a new PDI sled, by looking at the condition of it now.

The fact that it took this long to investigate the problem is also interesting, so who’s the observant one???

If your talking 994’s than it’s a 2021 doo turbo, and it will throw a code, the code can also been seen in the settings on the gauge.

Confront the dealer about it and when they say can’t help you, Sell that heavy scrap French junk and go buy a Polaris sled
problem fixed.

search ur feelings... remove this feeling of hate and pdi.
