SKI DOO 2009 & 2012 REV XP RENEGADE 600 SNOWMOBILES - Sat 7 Years With Gas in Tanks!

Today we are working on a 2009 and a 2012 Ski-Doo Rev-XP Renegade Snowmobile. Both of them were stored in a trailer for 7 years and had nearly full gas tanks. We empty out the gas tanks, change the batteries, and clean the filters to get them running again.

thanks for the video reassured me. I'm about to do a start up on my 2010 600 E tech that sat for a long time with only 1200 km I think I'm ready to press the start button.

Great job! That steering column chuck looks challenging, but you guys did great. Those are great sleds and only low mileage too. I have an unheard of 24,000 miles on my 600 eTec without an engine rebuild. If you look after them, they last.

For a few Northern dudes which have never worked on Sleds before; you did quite well. However, I would have certainly replaced the Fuel Filter on each machine. Those are WIX Filters and can be purchased at many local Auto Part stores for under $10. Simply remove the (2) Oetiker Clamps, replace the filter and install new clamps. Perhaps I will see you fellas on the Trails up around Old Forge and Inlet. I ride a 2011 Ski Doo XRS 800 Etec.

I would have thought the carborator jet would have been clogged with the old gas. Glad the snow machines started up so quickly.

Their fuel injected and I didn’t wanna touch anything if I didn’t have to! So glad it worked out OK. Lol

I believe I saw an Arctic Cat sticker on Ski Doo ??? That’s just wrong . Wow, the second one started right up after 7 years with just changing the fuel…. Awesome. Hope they work out well for you and keep running strong.

15:46 no way! I just got one the other day for $12. I change them every other year. There is an interchange number and you can get it at any auto parts usually I get it at napa.

I would be interested in a link please because when I was looking into it you had to buy the whole assembly because it has special clamps because of the high pressure and it was sold as one unit. These machines are fuel injected.

Hmmm, its only been sitting 7 years and they were only 2 and 5 years old when you last used them. Why remove the tank to drain it? Even with 30 year old sleds I find that siphoning usually works just fine. I run 3 ZX chassis MXZs from 99 thru 03 and I just picked up an old 94 Mach 1. I am not removing the tank unless the tanks internal lines are rotted. Also, did you even consider rolling it over on its back and emptying the tank that way?

@funtyes1970 2 жыл бұрын

wow them snowmobiles look almost brand new ..i think one sled is like 10 years and other sled is like 13 years old . i bet them sleds dont have many hours on them .

Yep, leaving gas in a tank for that many years, turns into quite the cleanup job. That gas sure looked nasty and probably didn’t even smell like gas anymore.

Those are really nice sleds to be sitting for so long. Why where they left sitting?

Due to a variety of reasons such as no snow for trails to be open, illness, injuries, etc. it’s amazing how quickly time can pass!
