Can I Fix This $650 Snowmobile with Zero Experience?

[@rmk800assualt7]

as a skidoo tech my advice it to make sure surfaces are clean and to make sure everything if oiled propery and to make sure everything is toped off on fluids

[@brettlaage9687]

That will be a fun sled, and a lot of power. I like working on my Polaris Edge much more than those Ski Doos. A lot of people hate working on sleds, but they really are pretty fun to work on once you understand them.

[@KincadePavich]

Yeah it's been a cool learning experience so far!

[@drewunderhill1141]

I would take the head lights and the top plastics off the sled it will make your life 1000 times easier

[@KincadePavich]

Thanks for the comment, I still did not end up removing those so don't be upset with me next video lol

[@scottjane4814]

Love the videos man! But I gotta say, your roommate putting his bike away dirty all the time gives me major ptsd 😂

[@davessparetime83]

did you check compression? Check for spark? Spray starting fluid in carbs and try to start?

[@KincadePavich]

Didn't check compression but certainly felt low, yes checked for spark, yes tried starter fluid. Previous owner said he took it to a shop and they said low compression, needs top end.

Haven't finished the vid yet but get a bumper asap!!! One small hit can smash the tune pipe and mess the cylinders up

[@KincadePavich]

Ordered one last night! Thanks!

[@jackcain210]

If you can find a clutch puller installing the top end will be much easier if the engine comes out, they don’t weight very much

[@KincadePavich]

Noted - so you would recommend pulling the whole engine, doing the top end on the bench, and then installing the entire engine as one block?

[@jackcain210]

Yeah it’s very little work for the benefit it grants, there are some coolant lines that run on the bottom of the engine it would be ideal too drain them and also check the oil return gear in the crank

[@seppomontaalasmaaman1339]

7:34 just wait when you are going back to get that 10mm socket. Then you'll be having the need to swear a little bit!

Great video!

Thanks man!

Welcome to the snowmobile world 😁

[@FlippingSkater]

lets see a drift trike from scratch

[@larrywarner9314]

I know that there a special grease that ski doo uses on the clutch side bearing and it's not cheap !!! Your supposed to regrease it every so many hours or mileage not sure the exact #

[@KincadePavich]

I plan to service that bearing as well as the clutch. Also change the oil. In response to your other comments, thank you for the welcome, and do you think at this point I'd still be better of removing the engine? Can I install the top end on the bench and then install the entire engine at once?

[@larrywarner9314]

@@KincadePavich yes you can , but you'll have to leave the exhaust manifold off as well as the carb boots

Be careful on those snowmobiles man, Ken Block just died on one of those

Best way to work on that engine is to pull the engine
