$7000 Sled Overheated And Shut Off. Will It Run Again? 

Exactly. All of that could have cost him a starter🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

When it cranked for a few rotations I was like Ok, look at something else, cooking the starter does not help anything.

That starter is a champ. I honestly can't believe it survived all the abuse. Seriously dude take it easy. More starter burning or endless kickstarts won't make it run if there's other issues like bad spark plugs. This is mechanics 101, you're going to ruin good machines that way

The hole engine was cooked 😂😂. Doesn't matter the starter was cooked long before he got it.

@@jerrywilcox9890 Obviously not. It is still working. 🙄

@ThaFailedMusician no shit it's still working lol.never said it wasn't hahaha.

@ThaFailedMusician it doesn't matter how long he used the starter.but before long it won't be.it will be going out.

@BreatheScotland It's freezing there... so I'm cheering for the starter! Go starter!

They do but only at idle I believe, not when they're running!

Even all newer outboards have them. They will idle , but that's it until they cool off.

An overheating shutdown is also a system that can fail. Remember what happened to Apollo 13, the overheating cutoff switch failed to activate during tank testing because it was not rated to operate properly at all possible supply voltages.

It has a temp light, operator is responsable to shut of sled when lights come on, at some point rider needs to use common sense and not destroy his sled.

@@4knanapapa sounds logical but for snomobilers all eyes are on the trail or you go off the trail you go. My Nytro shuts off on it's own when left to sit and idle and overheat on it's own. But it doesn't shut down at the first over heat light when I am riding. When it does come on (and I notice it), I typically slow down and ride off trail a bit in search of loose snow which works fine every time. But during an intense trail ride I can definitely believe that light can be easily overlooked.

I think you´re just jealous he got so good sled for that cheap..😅😛

It's his he can do what he wants.who are you to tell him what to do 😂😂😂.

Lol I'm not telling him what to do, of course it's his. I'm offering constructive criticism. If you wreck a good machine doing stuff like that, it's hard to make money.

😂😂😂😂

Shut up jerry. Moronic stance. ​@jerrywilcox9890

Yeah it was the oil pressure sensor not the knock sensor

@@2vintage I often reply to videos while I’m watching them. Bad habit. I’m anal retentive due to my career which I’m retired from. So I have plenty of time to nit pick RU-vid videos!

You did just fine until you said "just saying " It adds nothing to your point.

Well I said that so people don't think I'm trying to come across the wrong way or like a know-it-all because that's not the case..

Thanks boss!

Yea, that was painfull

Hopefully the snow sets up better. Here it is too fresh and fluffy. If he can find some hard pack next time, he'll definitely lift the skis and fly vs all the track spin we are seeing here. Motor sounds like an angry bee -sweet and powerful.

Ya and swell the boots

He used dyelectric grease. Not anti seize.

@@notjoecheez1 He used antiseize it on the boot.. On the threads and on the tip of the plug he used dyeelectric.. Although you should never lubricate plug threads..

yep, i saw that too, got it backwards.

@@notjoecheez1 it was copper based anti-seize where a trace of dielectric should go, also on the ceramic outer plug portion. Not on the actual threaded ends. kind of backwards. It's to keep the rubber coil boots from setting up on the insulator bodies....

My apex weighs less than a 2024 Polaris xc s4 everyone thinks Yamaha is heavy. But there are new sleds out there that weigh more. But no one mentions them. Just saying.

@tomreynolds5767 lmao! Yep my sleds no feather either

luckily you rarely have to fix these 4 strokes.

This comment is why I’m here in the comment section could possibly be the reason for the code?

100%

Really? His voice is the most annoying part of the videos.

No kidding, wow

Hope he sees your comment before it's to late good eye brother

Good to know, ill have to keep this in mind

Most people I know that have outboards that keep them in the up position make sure there is no water inside when they store them so if that has been done there shouldn't be a problem

@@186scott It doesn't matter if you drain them. If you leave them up and out in the weather and it rains it goes down the exhaust and collects in the foot where it can then freeze and bust but, to be honest, I don't know that much about boats. I grew up on the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi, got my first boat when I was 13 and still own one to this day at 60, worked at a marina pumping gas from 13 to 16, drove a marine forklift at a dry dock storge and hauled 35 ft boats around as well as worked on them as a profession for 2 years so, it makes perfect sense to leave an OB or the outdrive of an IO up and take a chance on it freezing rather than put it in the down position and be absolutely sure it doesn't freeze. That's what all my friends do. Your friends are probably smarter than mine. I don't know what I was thinking trying to give some friendly advice to someone and possibly save them some time and money...My Bad! But hey! It'll make great content! 😏

@@ThaFailedMusician not trying to start anything and I am sure like me a few others are surprised by another way of storing them and I do completely understand your way and there are multiple way to skin a cat and I am sure there will be others that agree with you and agree with what I said

Nevermind I seen you figured that one out already... Good job. Watch Pete over on Redneck and Dirty Hands he's really good with them sleds and explains a lot on why they fail and how to prevent them. Hope it helps

He says that in the video

@@billhenry7833 good to see you watched Joe's video all the way threw

yeah it requires a lot of work! Not easy!

Or get a stand to get the track off the floor, but do something.

Like previously said - lift off the track. Taking off belt can be bad idea - sudden rev will damage the primary clutch by smashing sheaves without belt.

Don’t rev up a sled without a belt on. You’ll wreck the primary
