All it needed was three little machine screws replaced in the secondary to fix it. The ends of the screws have unthreaded tips which wear down over time and allow the secondary to close too far. This increases the tension on the belt causing it be too tight.
I used to Ski Doo outside Corner Brook back in the late 70's / early 80's. Nothing quite like Ski Dooing on a clear night with a full moon. Good times.
That looked like an awesome trip. From all the great riding and riding conditions, great friends, to recovering the long lost sled for a total stranger. Even the water jumping was awesome lol. I love that kind of stuff. Thanks for posting.
Tks for sharing this cool story. Good job fellas. If it was a Yamaha all u would need to do is put some gas in it n start er right up n drive her home 🤠
You’ve never rode a sled on the water it’s like riding a Jetski but better. It’s a easy thing to do with a little confidence just don’t stop and balance your weight from Front to back.. Fluctuate throttle and try to keep you speed up
You fluctuate throttle throttle stop stop cavitation. If you just give it more speed had a consistent throttle it won’t come out cavitation .You will sink
I guess Buddy that owned that Cat has to call their insurance and give them their money back, now that they got the machine again. LOL It looked like it was a fun last ride.
I found an old cat on the side of the river where I kayak in the summer. Not that I want a cat but it’s real cool. I’m going to try and make it back there tomorrow, about 4 km from the road threw swamp. Can paddle when there’s water flow.
I remember growing up riding snowmobiles. I was around 6 when I got my first 1970s skidoo. I am 35 now, by the time I was 18 the snow here in Massachusetts disappeared. We have not had a real winter since 2012ish. We are lucky to maybe get 8 inches of snow a year now, when we used to get over 4 feet. So, that hobby is over. I don't know if you notice a drop in snowfall up there, bu the northeastern part of USA notices it hard.
how to tow a snowmobile. You short tie one ski to the back of a sled! Then you tow with nobody on it. If you have to carry somebody put them on your sled. Makes it extremely easy !
Sounds like Buddy Wasisname and the other fellers, remember the Yammie? 😂 Western Newfoundland definitely rules when it comes to snowmobiling. My roots are further up the Northern peninsula and looking forward to mid March for a month long snowmobile trip.
No, they ran out of gas one night and had to leave it there for the night... came back tue next day and over 2 feet of snow fell and covered their tracks and the Snowmobile
Where they found it was about 2/3 hours from the closest town on Snowmobile. If they went back in on quad in the summer, it might take you 4+ hours on an ATV. If you consider the brooks/rivers & bogs you would have to cross with a trailer in tow with the skidoo on it. It's nearly important even with all the man power you could find to help out.
@@AndrewMossOutdoors Its cold enough here for it though haha This is Gary by the way (The Fallout Shelter channel). I started this new channel for outdoor stuff
Thanks for the comment. If you watched the full video you'll see that I said it was recorded in 2018, and yes, the Snowmobile was manufactured in 1991, but im assuming based on the kms on the machine that it was lost in 1993. So, if we do the math, from 1993 to to 2018... it works out to be around 25 years lost in the wilderness. Just a guess, but I dont think it would be far off that number. Thanks again
I think she was in hard enough shape after being on the open country for 25 years lol. And I don't think the bys were going to spend all day shoveling her out and dusting er off. Get her out and go on with the day
@@AndrewMossOutdoors It sounds like the "they're coming for your guns" crowd down in the states. They've been coming for 40+ years, when are they going to get here?

Somebody please put that Yamaha out of its misery.
😂😂😂 hey by
I sold her with 16000 klms. The only thing I replaced on it was the track and main drive bearing. Best machine I ever owned!
16000 klms lady driven 😂😂

Hahah hey by
Would love to see a Video of them or the Owner getting that sled running after 25 Years!
As muxh as id love to I have no connection with the owner.. sorry
Greetings from St John's on a snow day
😂@7:08. Only thing she wants is gas. It’s a YAMMY 🤠
That was a cool video buddy!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks mark! Just seeing this comment!
Great story , glad they got er back
Yessir! Cheers buddy
The boys are crazier than me running through that soft slush and open water. Crazy find and retrieve, good work.
The bys don't mind it! Lol

Good deed done gentleman, I knew ya boys were good old boys 1:00 in...never would have thought you'd pull it out.😂😂
Hahahah hey by. A good bunch to have around
That area looks like up in the Lewis's Hills. Great video.
I think it is... im not familiar with the area my uncle would be able to tell ya
Looks like a great bunch of guys to be around if you run into trouble!!! Great video!!👍
Yessir!
I'm in Southern Ontario. We don't get anything like that even in January let alone May. Looks like a great time! Cheers!
Thanks buddy!! Up in the high Country there's always more of snow
Great video buddy good for the boys to give back the skidoo until next time stay safe
Yes it was! Cool story hey by!
@@AndrewMossOutdoors Yes it was buddy
That's an unreal story for sure!!
Crazy hey!
Actually what amazes me is that no one else fou d this. Cant believe it sat there untouched for 25 yrs.
The only thing that discovered it was a few black bears! 😂
I guess Buddy that owned that Cat has to call their insurance and give them their money back, now that they got the machine again. LOL It looked like it was a fun last ride.
Hahaha hey by! And yes it looked like a blast

Winters aren't like they used to be here in Newfoundland. But we still get a ton of snow! Cheers my friend. Take care
Dont forget your bowline on a byte bud!
Loves the video wicked job bies
Thanks buddy!!
Returned to Owner - Respect from Ontario, eh
Thanks Carl my friend!!
Much love from cape breton
I appreciate it my friend!!
That's a wild find after so long 😂
Isn't it?? Crazy
Interesting video son, good job
Loves ya dad
Fun times!
Thanks my buddy!!
7:35 for the start of the recovery
So cool
Awesome hey!
One of the inexperienced military from Goosebay probably got it stuck and left it.....
Spent 90 days up there and finally got used to the crazy cold.
how to tow a snowmobile.
You short tie one ski to the back of a sled!
Then you tow with nobody on it.
If you have to carry somebody put them on your sled.
Makes it extremely easy !
Sounds like you've done it before!! Lol great advice!
That’s was quite the adventure boys
Not bad hey buddy!
I was up in camp on Taylors bk when that happened, talked to the boys when they came back from not finding it...
Yes byy. How long ago was that?? The same year they lost it?
I cannot remeber exact year, somewhere mid early 90's
@@AndrewMossOutdoors
I can’t believe that you pulled that truck out 😂
Hahah the bys are crazy
This video is awrsome ahha. Them Mckays are savages by!
Yessir! Are they ever! Lol
Yamaha needs to have those 3 little screws changed in the back of the secondary to fix all that crying.
Yessir he had er wound up too tight lol
Put screws frome an old TRA on mine, cut em down a little bit, works great for belt deflection adjustment on yamaha secondary clutch👍
I thought somebody would say, "Yupe, she started right up the first pull over"....
😂😂 can you imagine lol
Sounds like Buddy Wasisname and the other fellers, remember the Yammie? 😂
Western Newfoundland definitely rules when it comes to snowmobiling. My roots are further up the Northern peninsula and looking forward to mid March for a month long snowmobile trip.
When was this cause it looks fairly warm.nice work you can’t beat the camp and comradery and small sniffer of do rum😊
Great video bye's; but I have to say you guys on the west coast are crazy. I guess the water is not to deep.😵💫
Crazy sing the word!! Lol that's the mckays for ya
Lets go Brookie fishing.
Hahaha the moose leg. Thats a cool story Andrew, what are the chances of finding that machine. Catch ya on the next one, Kenny
Hey by! Wicked story, take care
heck yes
Hahah
Looks like point au mal
well couldnt they find it once all the snow melts? or was it like on a island in the middle of a lake
Way up on the high Country hours from Any road and if the snow melts you'd never find where you left er
Yes by
So someone misplaced their snowmobile in the wilderness for 25 years and just left it there?
No, they ran out of gas one night and had to leave it there for the night... came back tue next day and over 2 feet of snow fell and covered their tracks and the Snowmobile
Wonder what buddy said when you returned the ski doo after it was gone for 25 years.
I've heard a few stories since I posted it apparently they fixed er up abit I believe
How can it be missing 25yrs? Never looked for it in summer lol
Where they found it was about 2/3 hours from the closest town on Snowmobile. If they went back in on quad in the summer, it might take you 4+ hours on an ATV. If you consider the brooks/rivers & bogs you would have to cross with a trailer in tow with the skidoo on it. It's nearly important even with all the man power you could find to help out.
Helmets optional in newfoundland ??
They weren't legislated when this was recorded
Definitely not skidooing on this side of the island that late in the year
Its Still manageable in the high Country over here in think
@@AndrewMossOutdoors Its cold enough here for it though haha
This is Gary by the way (The Fallout Shelter channel). I started this new channel for outdoor stuff
Was this George's sled?
George who??
It was!! And he has it back now
Dont show the ski being returned to the owner nice !
This happened 5 years ago and I wasn't there when it happened.
That Cougar looks like it was dropped from a plane butt first. But now at least someone can use it for parts. Good deed!
Bys ya gotta nice camp where snouts is dis
I was only there once before ans honestly haven't got a clue how to het there 🤣 it's somewhere in the hills of the west coast, thats all I knows 🤷♂️
1991, I was born the same year. Not 25 years old, 32 years old. Get it right.

Where's the rest of the story?🤔
Apparently it was fully restored 🤷♂️
@@AndrewMossOutdoors That would be something to see, time to start planning a sequel I'd say... "in theaters January, 2024".
@ih302 hahaha it was shipped away from what my uncle said and I have no contact with him
Fully restored is a bit of a stretch … but it’s back with its owner in NS and makes for a great conversation piece!
@@kellychisholm6334 do you know the owner??
Enough guys could have treated it far better ......
Some shape after ya yank the crap out of errr.
I think she was in hard enough shape after being on the open country for 25 years lol. And I don't think the bys were going to spend all day shoveling her out and dusting er off. Get her out and go on with the day
