Is there a recall on Arctic Cat XF 800?
In the wake of a handful of engine burndowns in Alaska and Canada, this last week Arctic Cat sent a Service Advisory to its dealers concerning proper set-up of all 2012 F, XF and M 800s. This is not…I repeat NOT a bulletin or recall.
What’s the problem with the 2012 Arctic Cat?
Arctic Cat is investigating the handful of burndowns, and from all accounts it appears to be a problem of air-bubbles in the oil and, likely, not running a 100:1 fuel/oil pre-mixture in the first tank of gas. Although this has happened to a few 2012 800s, this isn’t exactly a new problem with oil-injected sleds.
What happens when there is no oil in an Arctic Cat?
An air bubble moving through the lines and into the case will create a brief moment when there is no oil lubricating the crank and cylinders. When this happens burndown can (will) occur if there is no additional oil lubrication. Which is why for decades Arctic Cat has required that owners run the 100:1 premix in the entire first full tank of fuel.
Why do I have to run 100 premix in Arctic Cat?
When this happens burndown can (will) occur if there is no additional oil lubrication. Which is why for decades Arctic Cat has required that owners run the 100:1 premix in the entire first full tank of fuel. It ensures adequate lubrication in the event of an air bubble and optimizes engine break-in.
