I am very new at this sport and started with 2 machines to ride around the fields-1988 Stratos and a 1988 Formula MX.
I since bought newer machines and have been riding them on the trails in upstate NY and been loving it.
The 1988 stratos -- My father in law was riding it this weekend and it just stopped going. It runs good, starts easy but won't go. I only had a few minutes to look at it, but I raised the track off the ground and ran it, and it spins until I put it back on the ground. It appears that the clutch is working properly, but I really wouldn't be able to assess what "properly" is when it comes to clutching.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can try, I would really appreciate it.
This sled is available for sale if anyone is interested in it (1988 stratos) contact me @ peaveyone@aol.com. My wife and I were actually discussing selling it while we were coming home from upstate, before we knew that it was having problems. Before this, whatever it is, it ran great.
