How warm is too warm to snowmobile?
I have ridden in 45-50 degree weather. If it’s a carbed sled, it may run like dog doo because it will be jetted too rich, but as long as there’s snow hitting the heat exchangers, you won’t overheat.
Why does my snowmobile shut off when it gets warm?
The first thing that springs to mind is a stator issue. When it dies, immediately check it for spark. I have heard of wiring shorts acting like this (especially on ski-doo) when the harness gets warm it expands and contacts the bulkhead, then shrinks enough when cold to lose contact. Check the harness for worn spots which could cause a short.
Is it OK to cool down a snowmobile engine?
This phenomenon is universal and does not cause any harm to the engine. After cooling down a little, the snowmobile engine’s pistons will go back to the standard size and run smoothly.
When does the sled shut off on a snowmobile?
I bought my first sled 2 weeks ago and for the short time I got to ride it I loved it.
Can a snowmobile overheat on the ice?
Yes, the snowmobile overheats on ice while you ride. In this case, there are multiple reasons why the machine would behave in that way. Before checking into the technical details, it is good to do a checklist of all the things you might have missed—for example, Engine Oil.
Why does my snowmobile shut off when out for a ride?
Then out of the blue, shuts off and won’t start until it cools. Two mechanics have replaced regulator twice and stator once but still does same thing. nothing worse than worrying if it will shut down when out for a ride. It takes hours to cool enough to start.
This phenomenon is universal and does not cause any harm to the engine. After cooling down a little, the snowmobile engine’s pistons will go back to the standard size and run smoothly.
When does a snowmobile engine start to overheat?
The temperature will start dropping once the snowmobile starts throwing enough snow on the heat exchangers. In case of riding in high speeds, it is common for the engine to get overheated and waiting for 30 to 40 minutes to let the engine cool down to normal temperature will prevent all kinds of damage.
What are the biggest problems with snowmobiles?
Biggest problems are on roads and slow riding in ditches to get to gas stations. Light never remained on (just flashing) but makes me worry. When is it time to shut down and wait for cooling off?
