Just pull the plugs, squirt some premix in and fire it up.Usually works first time.

connect a 12v battery to the fuel pump, pull fuel line off the fuel rail. well maybe to that in the opposite order.

 

[mainecat]

Remove the yellow water temp sensor lead on the engine and pull. When it fires put the wire back on. It allows twice as much fuel to pump with the wire off. Its in the dealer set-up manual for efi sleds.

:blink: Was stopped on the trail in b---f---- Idaho when my rope broke. I had the tube type "fix" but the cord broke between the tube and the recoil housing. In all fairness it was the original rope with the sled, so you know what condition it was in :wacko: . Anyhow we wrapped the remnants of the cord around the clutch and got out of that mess. Nothing ruins your day like a broken rope. Then a half hour later I found out what REALLY ruins the day. Any one familiar with my situation knows what were talking about .

Where did you get the roller type fix? Did you make it yourself?

 

[hvf7]

I made my roller fix. The way I did it also makes it
easier to pull.

ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE YOUR ROPE STRONGER...COAT THE EXPOSED PART OF ROPE WITH SUPER GLUE, LET DRY..MAKES IT ALOT STRONGER

I got the pull cord fix from the outdoor shop. Check out his photos, it works awesome!

 

[PROX-FIRECAT]

I'm getting the update done on my sled as we speak.

 

[PA F7 RIDER]

well took it to dealer they hooked up battery to fuel pump running now,also had them to the burping.no air pockets they replaced the rope with arctics fix so lame!!!! im going to make the the tube fix as stated and pictured on here also going to order the mountain climbing rope also.with the gas make sure you keep enough in it so you dont suck air B)

 

[CanadianF7]

AC fix is simple and works great! Replaced rope with 5mm Spectra. I won't loose any sleep over it.

 

[PA F7 RIDER]

canadian f7 did you or dealer replace rope? was it easy?

 

[CanadianF7]

PA F7 RIDER,

I replaced it, Nothing to it. Remove the recoil, pull the rope out all the way and hold the inside pully so it can't wind back up. Slide the old rope out and the new one in. Let it wind back up.

I actually wound the pully 2 turns tighter when the rope was out. The Spectra is a little stiffer so I wanted to make sure there was enough spring tension to wind it up.
