You pulled me in with the sled build. Keep at it. Thanks

I love that you are trying something new but in a logical way i have worked on sleds my whole life and I always see and hear of people who know dirt bikes and get into snowmobiles and act like they are a chicken with there head cut off. There is a decent amount of differences between snowmobile engines and dirt bikes but the overall knowledge is the same and it seems like you are using your best judgement when u don’t know what to do love this series and I am excited to see what happens with the sled

Well done! Thanks for making the huge effort to plan the video, perform it, edit it, and post it. Bring us more on the sled.

Power seal USA is another shop that does a good job on cylinders.

Now that you loosened that engine tourq bolt when you put the engine back in you'll want to measure the distance fro the center of the crankshaft bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole on the secondary clutch to make sure there is proper distance to you have proper belt deflection and tension

Regardless of the damage to the thing, you really did get a great deal on it, nice fix too

You'll have no problems figuring out sleds man, they are probably less complicated than dirt bikes... They are literally just an engine, clutches, a chain or belt drive, and a track. The clutches seem like magic but they're conceptually pretty simple. Don't know if you have any previous sledding experience, but you live in one of the best states to ride. If you like riding bikes off road/track, you'll definitely like sleds. I'm no expert by any means, but riding sleds has made me a better rider on everything. Just wish I could do it more. Keep up the good work 🤘

Good stuff Kincade quality content 🙌

Hey Kincade, been a follower since the icerink5am COD days. It’s funny but I actually don’t have any interest myself in riding dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or working on engines at all but still love catching your content when it drops. Just wanted to let you know I thought this is one of your best videos here (right alongside the- I spent my summer upside down from years back). Keep up the good work my friend.

The toughest part at home is getting the sleds front end high enough to get coolant all the way through the tunnel and get bubbles out, a good lift of some sort to burp it and then jack the track off the ground to run it will be crucial

I did this with a 2010 skidoo XRS 800... bought for like $1200 and planned to "just do a top end".... Ended up with a whole engine rebuild, rebuilt both clutches and replaced the whole heat exchanger.... never again lol

If your looking for content the jackshaft and chaincase along with the skid probably need bearings and bushings all around along with new oil in the chain chase and proper chain tension, remember too loosen the limiter strap when the skid comes out

Northern crankshaft is the place I deal with

The excitement with the fly wheel got my dyin lol

throw a new oem stator on it, it is expensive piece of mind. if it fails out on a ride, you are screwed I was a rental sled fleet wrench and every sled got a new top end and a brand new stator every season

More videos

love it

Now comes the part where I’d baggie and label everything. Throw it in a box and 3 months later I’d be scratching my head on how to get it back together.

What kinda overalls did your gf get you?? I can’t find the video where you mentioned it 😅

So.e free advice when buying snowmobiles that don't run or need fixed do you homework on tools you'll need to work on them I have plenty of tools , I have probably $10,000 in tools

Buy a repair manual
