Last night I noticed my hood cables are cutting into my airbox while the hood is open.

Another fit and finish f-up by CAT.

You may want to re-mound the screws to avoid this.

mine is fine
there is plenty of clearance on my F5

Mine is cutting the airbox too.

The way my cables are fastened to the frame, I don't see how they could NOT rub the airbox. Can someone (who's cables don't rub) please post a picture of how/where the cables are attached to the frame?

Thanks

After reading this post, I went out to the garage and checked mine. They too were rubbing. I ended up putting some rubber hose over the cable from the eyelet mount into the frame to just beyond the rubbing point on the airbox. Should be fine now.

You can also loosen the bolt/screws and turn the eyeletes outward to help minimize the rubbing, but I feel that putting the rubber hose over the cables is a better fix.....

no pimples on my ass but now I have 3 inches of fuel line on each wire. Problem solved in under 10 minutes. Also, took starter off an put on a new rope. That was much longer.

is cat offering to fix this rope problem, how many pulls untill it breaks,
has anyone ever noticed when you go to a arctic cat dealer in any of the snow hot spots the dealers will no fix anything under warranty
in munising, mi their a.c. dealer never will fix anything under warranty, even on sled with 10 miles on it,
well heres my theory, they take your cash for the repair, write down your serial # and turn hours into cat,
for warrranty(i call this double dipping)

a new rope is part of the pull cord bullitin. I wouldn't use that rope long, it will fail when you need it the most. My dealer is great about work...never charges me unless it's a crash.

my local dealer in il, is great they do all they can for me, it just the dealers up north they know you are in a jam so what are you going to do
