That punch to get the pin out was genius. I am working on practically the same sled and this video saved me. I love your videos. Thank you! Greetings from Michigan
The guy probably went out that weekend and filled it with 87 octane corn gas then parked er for two years. I would never complain to a mechanic that got me going before , especially not this dirty danglin minty Canuck. Loving your videos just got back into sledding this after after a 15 year break, your videos are keeping me tied over until my next trip north at the end of the month , cheers !
Gotta love customers like that. It's funny how they never tell you about the things they did or didn't do lol. Hell with them just tell them to watch TH-cam and they can see for their selves lol
This was the most entertaining video I've ever watched. Your sense of humor is divine. I wish I could stay as happy and upbeat when working on machinery as you do.
Great channel. I like watching your videos. I think I'll go out and clean the carburetor on my old ski doo it hasn't run for 7 years. Because it hasn't snowed enough in 7 years
You can tell the ownerjust let is sit in the elements based off the green moss look along the foot boards. People are careless when it comes to toys. They never take care of them and get mad when they don't work right. Good video and keep'em coming.
FUJI makes a hell of an engine. I had an old indy trail with the venerable 488 fan and it was as reliable as the day is long. Keep up the good work boys!
I just cleaned the carb on my 94 Tundra II LT for this season😁 little thing still rips down the straightways like a champ. Awesome vid, I still have a soft spot for those old 440s, I'd say all makes Ski-doo, Polaris, Artic Cat, Yamaha' 440 class engines were pretty bulletproof
You'd be surprised. We hide in dark corners, and come out when the bbBbBbrRrRRRAAAP of the wild 2 stroke mountain sleds, roars off in the not so distant hills.
Actually new subscriber and binge viewing! Really enjoying your work sleds! Especially knowing I have the Polaris triple six out in the backyard to tackle! For sure battery, carburetor, mice, not sure if any squirrel! Know it has spark, but I have a bad neck and cannot pull it to start unless I have someone younger stop in to help! Ultimate plan was to get it going and trade in for something with electric start and reverse! I’ll get though soon or later! Thanks for your videos!
I'm glad you popped up about a week ago automatically as a 50 year old man who's always worked on my own junk has just learned two new tricks love the advice on keeping tension on the choke so it doesn't come uncunted on you. Also leaving the fuel line on so you can check to make sure your gas is flowing and shutting off correctly great advice man thank you.
If you have a friend that plays guitar, get a set of old strings from them. They work great for those very small jet passages. Some electric guitar strings go down to 9 thousandth and up to 40+ thousandth. Great videos. Your a great mechanic and stand-up comedian.
I have 1999 xcf sp with the same engine these sleds haul for a fan but they are very finicky engines. The pro x had more issues because the cdi timeing was ran hotter
i run an auto repair shop and just like you say you worked on it a year ago !!!! ever since you worked on it!! lol!! really enjoying your videos and your humor!! keep makin more vids
I had a brand new 2002 pro x fan 440 ,always ran great when it was cold out but around 35 degrees it would foul plugs like a sob rebuilt under warranty,rejetted carbs tried everything come to find out it was a major problem with this engine,finally got rid of it and started buying Ski Doo instead.
I only drive a edge x. Or xc. My pride my life. Your doing awesome. You know your stuff. I love watching your vids just so cuz we do it the same!!! But your better I'm learning by your vids
Pete, that’s why I’m afraid to buy a liquid cooled play because where there’s no snow conditions did hard to ride wish they would make some snow mobiles or radiator Tatum. I know they keep saying they can’t but you know they can.
It looks like buddy doesnt use that machine much and left the old fuel to go bad but one other thing I noticed was the 2 stroke oil in his tank was blue. Is that the cheap crap for weedeaters and chain saws from crappy tire? Wouldnt surprise me.
Nice work dude dialed that one right in. I agree if someone had an issue with some of your work don't wait a year and a half before they bring it back that's a year and a half of somebody probably shittin on your name not right.
Just came across you today love the videos I see your in Ontario I’m smiths falls where about you from… I’ve lived all over Ontario from pembroke to Ottawa Whitney Ontario denbigh all over really
@@rednecksdirtyhands We got a cottage up near Arden. Nice to see a small town fella gettin' his hands dirty. Just found your channel and ya got yourself a new follower, good sir!
I`m pretty sure that sled ran just fine. That is just the customer tossing it out there to see if they can get a freebie. I have said it numerous times to people I know: If you want to be in the snowmobile game, ya better know at least the basics and be able to tear down a carb.
Question: Have yiu considered installing an electric winch,{I think you call them come-a-longs } inside your workshop to pull these vehicles which are not working inside ? Greetings from Maghera,Northern Ireland
Hey Pete you are right about pull your ass 440. The 440 means you pull it over 440 times then she goes. Lmao. I have a 1995 jag it’s been sitting for five years now one day I will get it going and make it dangle
Thanks for sharing, your videos are a sure help, especially when theres no decent, honest mechanic around. Can i ask were you got that siphon drill pump? Looked on crappy tire and amazon and dont see it..
I like your content, but trust me on this one, you do NOT want to use brake or carb cleaner to run your 2stroke engine. Not ever. It instantly removes and disolves the oil film on the cylinder wall and piston rings, even if it's oil injected, and you get bare metal to metal contact. You wont destroy the engine, but you can cut the lifespan in half or even worse. Just a tip.
3211080 belt. drop needle clips down 1 and depending on your elevation, you may need to drop your main jets down one these are very tempermental machine! they dont like anything over 20 degree Fahrenheit
Like your videos. Even without the humor it's cool watching someone the knows their stuff work. Surprised a guy with all the cool gadgets doesn't have an ultrasonic cleaner for carbs and what not. The giggle pump/hose syphon is a cool thing that took years to come out but the little pumps you use have got to be really nice. I drove mixers and dump trucks for years the messes with hydraulic fluid all over the floor when you have to be on it suck! You learn to work smart when you have that stuff all over you. Have a good one I hope the global warming trend stops so there's still work.
Yeah those red babies were rockets. I thought my indy 500 would take my buddy...when I met him at the far side of the lake all I could do was ask if I could try it out lol I don't know if the 440XCR would hang with the newer 600's, but back in the day OMG🤤
Because the xcr 440 is a liquid cooled reed-valved engines, which I think is one of the first non Fuji engines Polaris used. Hard to find a good used one because they're a blast to ride.
Love the 440's Nice work 👍
Tip for getting the carb boots on, wipe the inside of the boots with a dab of grease or 2 stroke oil on your finger. In like flynn...

It's amazing, the amount of sleds and quads for sale on marketplace that need the carbs cleaned!
Great channel. I like watching your videos. I think I'll go out and clean the carburetor on my old ski doo it hasn't run for 7 years. Because it hasn't snowed enough in 7 years
That machine is in great condition. Right on man. Great job.
Glad tp put it in Pete...I was getting cold! I spent too many years working on them suckers outside!
Runs awesome your videos are very satisfying

Really like sled repair videos. Keep em coming!!! Great job!!!

thanks 🍻 we appreciate your feedback
Another quality repair.👍 I'm seeing a recurring theme here binge watching em. You make it look easy Pete
well thank ya! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 🍻
Great vid as always! Ty for all your hard work! 🎉 love the real commentary! Keep up the great work. Really like the older fan stuff
It's hard to deal with people that embarrass themselves with their stupidity great job on the snowmobile
Hey Pete I came across one of your videos a couple of days ago and loved it so I've watched a bunch more. Keep we up man, your videos are awesome!!!
thanks 🍻
FUJI makes a hell of an engine. I had an old indy trail with the venerable 488 fan and it was as reliable as the day is long. Keep up the good work boys!
I have heard the same thing time and time again 👍👍… great engines
That reed valve 440 is a completely different animal . Temperamental pricks they are
@@sorensoneric83 noted, I'll keep that in mind when shopping for toys🤙
So. A lesson to that customer. Put yer machines away right for the season when spring comes. And maybe it might just start next year ;)
Great videos! I’ve learned a lot along the way and always entertaining!! Can’t wait to see all the sleds on snow this winter!
thank you! cheers 🍻

Ps thanks for the choke idea never thought of that just lost mine the other day lmao took one off another sled
cheers 🍻
Those are great sleds ..owner should sell it to me lol.. great video ..
Thanks for the videos this is giving me motivated to get a snowmobile!!
sweet! thanks 🍻

Very cool! I'm glad you found the channel and enjoyed the videos as well as some of my tips!!! 🍻
The Polaris 440 fan was a wonderful sled. Provided the carbs were put together right.
If you have a friend that plays guitar, get a set of old strings from them. They work great for those very small jet passages. Some electric guitar strings go down to 9 thousandth and up to 40+ thousandth. Great videos. Your a great mechanic and stand-up comedian.

Found you today and have been binging since!
lol well thanks for watching! 🍻

i run an auto repair shop and just like you say you worked on it a year ago !!!! ever since you worked on it!! lol!! really enjoying your videos and your humor!! keep makin more vids
Those 440 fans in the pro x are a nightmare. Usually too lean or too rich and parts are extremely hard to come by
I had a brand new 2002 pro x fan 440 ,always ran great when it was cold out but around 35 degrees it would foul plugs like a sob rebuilt under warranty,rejetted carbs tried everything come to find out it was a major problem with this engine,finally got rid of it and started buying Ski Doo instead.
Bought one new. Put UFOs in the carbs. Easy to start and always ran well. One of my favorite sleds!
Picked up a couple little tricks of the trade. Appreciate your videos
Great to hear! 🍻

Awesome vid, never subscribe but you got me. Showing everything and how it works was what made me. Great job, humor was on point! Lol
Awesome, thank you!🍻
Shady customers...nice one
Nice video Pete, I use twisties ties they work good too, I'll use the choke trick too, lol.
I just hit the subscribe button… great job… those POLARIS sleds seem to hold up well
we had a 99 xfc with the "newer" motor reed valved. that thing did atleast 95! pretty exciting when you're 13yrs old! 😄 just sub'd dude! 🤙👍👊

This owner got a freebie
Cheers from montreal qc !
Great👌👌 Main reason i got a atv, is to tow in those broken sleds in the shop 😄😄 nice channel you got. // SWEDEN
thanks 🍻
Wow what a sweet runner
I'd suggest mixed gas in a squirt bottle, that other stuff washes the oil from the cylinders.
I like that wire brush trick !! Thank you !!
that's awesome! 🍻
Not for nothin, those case reed 440 fanners are notoriously finicky. All the way from the xcf to the pro x
Pete sounds like that guy you knew when you were a kid
lol 🤣🍻
that fanner sound like it had more top end then the 440 fanners from 80s
Hey Pete you are right about pull your ass 440. The 440 means you pull it over 440 times then she goes. Lmao. I have a 1995 jag it’s been sitting for five years now one day I will get it going and make it dangle
Nice One! 🍻
I should send the 95 jag to you to do on the Channel. I am not to far away from you
I had a team edition one of those with the stutter button. Holeshotted from the back row one time. 120 hp
Love seeing old stuff like this one and older grew up on them old runners
I know what it feels like not getting credit for a job. It's like pissing your self in a dark suit. You get that fuzzy warm feeling but nobody notices
Hey pete did u notice warning lite on dash going off/on while on way back to garage?
A little Mopar juice will get anything running👍👍👍
Billy red from northern Wisconsin perfect snowmobile riding here think snow let's go enjoy the trails and bars 🍸 HA HA

I have a polaris 440 indy it's in great shape
You should always put a fuel pump kit in it and check the fuel line intake
Wow an old Cycle World key fob, they used to sell Polaris back in the day before they closed
It made it farther than the artic cat ,lol
Love it
Good job
thanks! 🍻
What light was popping on and off on the gauge?
Good afternoon. Do you sell such snowmobiles? How much is its price?
Good on ya Mr! 1 1/2 years later haha 😂 ya bad fuel 1000 % take care of your fuel bud 👏👏👏
I wish you lived near me I need a good snowmobile mechanic
Pull your ass!....yep! And MOPAR brake clean? Old sleds and Mopars....I HAD to subscribe! Good day eh! ..from Minnesota!
Yes absolutely about 28::00! Call!
Have you ever ridden a xcr 440? thats a real 440. It would keep up with any stock 600.

NICE!!
Big 440 hard to pull over ?
a small propane torch can be used to cook the pilots. the trash em in turns to ash. then carb cleaner and then compressed air.. DUN
