  When you installed the rear taillight, were you able to send rivets through the outside holes without intercepting the cooler? Usually the outside holes fit over the bolts that come on the rear bumper bracket, but noticed you didn’t install that. Thanks!

•

  Yes you can put all 4 rivets into the tail light. The holes line up with the edges of the cooler underneath so once you line it up you’re good to drill all 4 holes.

  There was a lot of noticeable changes. Hind sight I should have done it in stages so I could see what made the biggest difference but all together it was a huge difference. I think the tunnel chop was the most helpful tho with reducing how much the tunnel would drag in the snow on deep days.

  Hi great video. Not sure if You put the engine together by now but by any chance have you check the balance on your primary clutch? I know water would be bad but there has been many sleds submerged in lakes and they run perfectly fine afterwards. I am curious if your failure is related to clutch imbalance overtime loading the bearing and starting to spall, slight lost of centerline driving pistons wear. That is a pretty hefty bearing for just water failure as the root cause. If you check the balance and still within spec… then I buy the water been the root cause. Good luck!!!

• 
  @themediocregarage Жыл бұрын

  Hey thanks for the comment! Good point. I actually did check the clutch balance and it was well within spec. I’m thinking there was just enough water in the bottom end that it washed a bearing 😐

  What does drilling that hole do. I just did the khaos conversion and I’m wondering what drilling the hole to put in the skid does.

• 
  @themediocregarage Жыл бұрын

  If you just do the khaos conversion you don’t need to drill that hole to lower the front of the skid. Drilling that hood is part of the setup when you put the Ice Age Elevate spindles on. The spindles are taller to give the front end of the chassis more clearance so you need to drop the front of the track in order to keep it properly engaged with the snow. If you just did the elevate spindles but didn’t lower the front of the track apparently you would have to much extra ski pressure.

  Sounds like a sweet setup you got there. Typically my sled will run about 51 - 53 degrees when the trail isn’t icy. With the cooler on there and an icy trail I was only up to 61 at the hottest and if I just kept a decent steady speed it would fluctuate around 57 - 59 while other guys sleds were up in the 80s and higher and they were having to stop and cool them off.

Stator side is the issue, piston and head started to melt and the connecting rod seized to the crankshaft. Clutch sides power valve ears broke off too, one ended up in the exhaust, gouged up the cylinder a little. Any advice?
