So we bought 2 brand new 15' summit sport 800's and just got back from our first weekend out with them.
we did our first fire up in the shop at home and noticed the wife's sled smoked like crazy. I Called the dealer and was told it should be fine, one may have been started a few more times then the other at the dealership and it should clear up during break in. The next day we loaded them and hers was supper boggy and smoking like Crazy again.
we got out to Clemina earlier on thursday to do a break-In on the trail. started with a full tank of fuel and oil. The wife is fairly fresh to snowmobiles, but we rode at a good speed and keeping throttle varied with intention of also the belt break-in. At 22km she seen the oil light came on, used 3x as much oil and 2x the fuel as my identical sled.
I jumped on the sled and we headed back to the staging area. was completely gutless and boggy feeling, I rode it for 2km thinking there was a injection pump problem or something with the amount of oil it used.... Pulled over and looked over the whole machine to find out the 1 spark plug wire was just sitting ontop the head!!! excess oil came out through the exhaust donut and splattered all over. sled fired up and cleared up within seconds.
Do you guys feel like I am going to have a long term effect on the engine with this happening? The cyl definitely had a ton of oil going into it, just no combustion. we bought these to have reliability going to the mountains, I feel like this hasn't been the best start
