k, yall' knows i just bought a whoopass sled....

but i opened it up today (the hood) and it got a couple unlabeled things that i have no idea wtf they do/are for.


first off... these




what goes where? the black one says "oil" but i dunno if its for 2-stroke oil and it mixed it and the gas itself or if its regular oil for the belts or somethin. the red cap one is empty and says nothing.


and wtf does this switch do? (left one) un-labeled, and i flipped it up and down with and without the sled running and i didnt notice anything happen.

 

two stroke oil on the left, when we rebuild a sled engine we run mixed fuel and oil injection just to make sure but that is the only time you should need to mix the gas and oil.

one MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR (CANNOT EPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH) MAJOR thing to check is the oil injection lines below the carbs to make sure they are flowing oil.
to do this
1.mix up a little premix gas (it wont hurt the engine to over oil it, it will just spit more oil out the exhaust for a while)
2. unplug one of the oil injection lines
3. make sure you can see the end
4 fire up the engine and run it until you see oil comming out of the line. it will only barley drip like maybe a drip ever 20 sec or so.
5. turn off engine and replace oil line
6. repete process for other side


the red cap is for coolant or overflow i would have to see a wider pic of the whole engine to make sure

the switches are either for headlights or handwarmers on the left and thumb warmer on the right. once again i need a full pic to see the model of the sled and just to ake sure.

any more questions let me know, i mechaniced on theses things for quite a while and have rebuilt plenty of these engines

main thing people mess up is not checking the oil and they will burn a piston out in less than 5 hours

 

good thing you posted, cause I was gonna say left switch= turbo boost
and right switch= beer cooler....

But your answer is way better. LOL

 

isnt that where the turbo and beer cooler are on a big rig, i mean i can be wrong but im pretty sure

 

lol...close. It's right next to the girlfriend switch.

 

i was going to get one of those for my bike, lol i just want to see what the cops would do with e riding around with a blow up doll on the back,

they cant ticket her for being naked

 

i was gonna put this in the original but was to lazy, its the only other engine pic i got.... i can get better closer ones when the sun comes up. (5.36 hours )

 

oh, and thanks... i never would of done that otherwise.

 

have you also checked out the carbs? few hours or carb cleaning always makes a hell of a difference

another thing is make sure the race around the track bearings are greased i have seen those walk out

 

haha, could you be a bit more specific? im completely new to sled matinence... before this one all i did was beat em around fields and lakes
