1991 Arctic Cat Super Jag Restoration | Episode 6 | Clutch Service
Sixth episode on the restoration of a 1991 Arctic Cat Super Jag snowmobile.
This video was filmed between November 2022 and January 2023. I was struggling with the sled wanting to creep forward after coming to a stop requiring the brake to stay in one place. i also still had an issue of the sled not wanting to idle once warmed up.
The previous improvements have improved ride and handling, but not reliability.
I am having fun working on this old sled and it is teaching me so much about these machines. There is always a lesson to be learned by playing in the garage. I currently have about 12 episodes shot and awaiting editing.
At the current moment the engine has been put back together but still fails the pressure test.
Thanks for watching this video which is part of a video diary of the restoration of a 1991 Arctic Cat Super Jag.
The history of this sled as I understand it - is that it started its life with a Trapper northeast of Bissett Manitoba and then was sold to a surveyor who used it all over Manitoba. In recent years it saw little use except for occasional use on surveying cut lines and hunting for caribou. By the time I pulled it out of the pole shed in the fall of 2019 it had sat unused, for three years.

    Oh baby nice ride! That is quite the machine- I would love to have an expedition or skandic. And the 4 stroke motor must be killer- probably incredible longevity. I think going no turbo is smart. Turbo's are fun but certainly add a level of complexity and potential issues. I subscribed and will check out your adventures!

      Thanks! On sport mode this thing goes plenty fast without turbo! 🫣 I don’t know how many times I’ll get out again with the low snow we have had but fingers crossed. I only managed to get about 50km on it the week we had enough snow. Most has melted here so going to have to hook up the trailer and go find snow!

    Nice machine. I’d stud the track with those iGrip screw in studs the BRP dealers sell, super easy to do. They work awesome for crawling over ice, rocks, bare ground and trees. If you try the J hitch system you’ll never go back to a flapper hitch.

    • @alphawhiskyadventures
      @alphawhiskyadventures 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ll look into those studs. Liking the ice cobra so far, except the number it did on the garage floor along with new carbides! I plan to move to the J hitch someday when I upgrade the sled to something like a Yukon expedition sled.

    I watched all episodes so far! Great work! Did you find any decals yet? I am going to look for you at the same time I am looking for decals for my 1991Jag AFS 440 Long Track snowmobile.

      When I redo the hood, maybe in the summer, I will probably take it to a local auto stripe place and see if they can make the set up from the other side and the mostly good one. I read on the local Facebook group that was a way to get hard to find decals. A search on the internet did not provide any useful links.

    I am planning on restoring a 1991 Arctic Cat Jag AFS 440 Long Track snowmobile this coming summer. Can you make any recommendations? Other than, don't do it! LOL Where can/should I source any replacement parts or decals?

    • @alphawhiskyadventures
      @alphawhiskyadventures 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the comment. My advice is get the service manual for your model. It has so much information and help. Secondly, the actual tools work better, things like clutch tools and flywheel removers. You can improvise but I am finding it’s less than perfect. Parts are hit and miss. Try the swap meets and used dealers in your area or on local marketplace. EBay can be a source but they can be pricey. Know what they should be worth and try not to overpay. Patience saves you money.

    Any idea when the next episode will be out? Currently restoring my ‘89 Super Jag and these videos have been a godsend for a kid rebuilding his first sled.

    Loving the videos so far, just picked up one of these things this evening and the entire fuel system is disassembled. Finding it super hard to find any diagrams to go by for reassembly. Is it possible to find one online anywhere?

    • @alphawhiskyadventures
      @alphawhiskyadventures ปีที่แล้ว

      There is somewhere a service manual posted. Search for the model year or near it. I don’t have the link but I did print it and I show it in my videos. For fuel. Clean the tank to the carb. Check everything. My issue was dirty fuel filter, worn needle, crud in tank. Hole in fuel filter gaskets. And I had a leak in the crankcase.

      @@alphawhiskyadventures Thanks for the quick reply! Sounds like you had far more trouble than I had for sure. I got it figured out and up and running this morning, however. Turns out I had the primer hooked up wrong. I'll def keep an eye out for the service manual though it's difficult to drop 50+ bucks on one for a 200 dollar machine. Can't wait to ride it later this winter

    This looks like an absolute blast. Hopefully they make brakes for these rigs ( thinking of my Akita 🤣).
