Do all snowmobiles have a pull start?
All snowmobiles that have electric start ( minus ski-doos 50th anniversery XP 4-stroke and yamahas 4-strokes ), have a pull starter. To take the electric starter off, simply unbolt the starter, and take out the battery.
Can you start a snowmobile without a clutch?
The clutch does nothing but introduce more imbalance to the crank, unless you had the crank and clutch balanced and have it timed. (Which most people don’t do) so running without the clutch isn’t going to do anything in the balance area.

Can a Vmax snowmobile go above 60 mph?
The sled will start and idle fine, and once it gets above about 60+ mph, the engine seems to take off and run ok. But from a stop to the higher speeds, it struggles to speed up. I have a second vmax sled that once i hit the gas, it just takes off like crazy, which is what i think this sled should do.
How do you fix a stuck throttle on a snowmobile?
Make sure the pilot and main jets are clean so it idles and runs well above idle and at wide-open throttle. If a carb cleaning doesn’t fix the problem the problem might reside inside the plastic housing on the throttle cable assembly. Drill a hole in the plastic case and squirt a little WD-40 and try to work loose the cable.
When do you take a snowmobile out of storage?

What makes a 1996 Yamaha snowmobile not idle?
My beloved 1996 Yamaha bravo will not idle. (Read the whole post before replying please) The snowmobile will not start without the choke on and the throttle held wide open. Then, you can keep it alive by taking up just a little bit of slack on the throttle cable. However, when you do this it pulls forward.
Is the Yamaha V-Max 600 a trail sled?
This machine has 98hp. stock and is an excellent runner (considering it’s “509 pounds”) provided you can get her to “hook up”. A 96′ would be an excellent all around trail sled, but I would add a better track (1-1.5″) and better skis (plastic).
