SnowMobile Information| SnowMobiles

the topics I will name are things that really did happen to me over this year actually. Would you read any of them?

1) went to Mexico with family, snuck out of my hotel room every night to meet this guy and got wasted at the bar (everything was paid for) eventually found out he was a drug dealer.. my life went down hill from there.

2) can back to the United States, had good grades in school but fell for a badass, grades started to slip. Didn’t listen to my parents almost got sent to Juvie on more then one occasion.

reasons why i almost got sent
3) My parents are pretty wealthy, they bought a snowmobile. crashed it being stupid almost caused a reck b/c i slid out on the road.

4) Got bored took my moms credit card and went to the mall, charged 500 dollars on it.
aunt paid it off.

5) my grandpa and i don’t get along very will, heck my whole family pretty much hates me.
anyway me and my grandpa were arguing, he called me a "no class whore" when i’m really not.
got pissed though went to there house when they weren’t home took all their bottles of beer and throw them at the wall. (they almost had a whole frig filled) spray painted the walls too but has i left a fire started. the whiskey was flammable.. my grandpa called the cops.

would you read about any of these if I wrote a story on my experiences? (btw i’m 14)

None.
-Your stories lack intentions or goals as your motivation for your acts.
-You reactions are silly and childish.
- You don’t know how to control yourself.
With that said, why would I waist my time?

Message for Analysis
Message A

As an organization, the North American Personal Motorsports
Marketing Association has committed ourselves to helping our members—a diverse
group comprising of dealers of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, Snowmobiles,
and personal watercraft—achieve their business objectives. Consequently, our organization, which usually
goes under the initials NAPMMA, has the following aims, goals, and
objectives. Firstly, we endeavor to aid
or assist our members in reaching their business objectives. Second, NAPMMA communicates (“lobbying” in
slang terms) with local, state, and national governmental agencies and leaders
on issues of importance to our members. And lastly, we educate the motorsports public, that being current
motorsports vehicle owners, and prospective owners of said vehicles, on the
safe and enjoyable operation of they’re vehicles.

Here is my revised version:

The North American Personal Motorsports Association (NAPMMA) is an organization committed to helping our members achieve their business objectives. Our diverse group is comprised of dealers of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, and personal watercraft. Together, NAPMMA lobbies with local, state, and national government agencies and leaders over the issues important to our members. We also educate the motorsports public of current and prospective owners of motorsports vehicles on the safe and enjoyable operation of their vehicles.

Sentences:

1. As an organization, the North American Personal Motorsports
Marketing Association has committed ourselves to helping our members—a diverse
group comprising of dealers of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, Snowmobiles,
and personal watercraft—achieve their business objectives.

Strengths: Strong verbs and adjectives that stand out to the reader – Diverse, committed, achieve.

Weaknesses: Run-on sentence. Too many details crammed into one sentence, making it very unfriendly to the reader. Separate and consolidate relevant thoughts into shorter, more concise sentences. Snowmobile should not be capitalized.

2. Consequently, our organization, which usually
goes under the initials NAPMMA, has the following aims, goals, and
objectives.

Strengths: There is a transition word at the beginning of the sentence to shift focus to what the organization does.

Weaknesses: NAPMMA can be placed in parentheses next to the full name of the organization to indicate that those initials are an AKA.
It is already indicated that the paragraph will describe who the organization is, and what their goals are, so it is not necessary to use “the following aims, goals, and objectives.”
“Consequently”… The goals are not a direct consequence of the details already given in the paragraph, so it would only confuse the reader.

3. Firstly, we endeavor to aid
or assist our members in reaching their business objectives.

Strengths: None. Unnecessary and redundant sentence, remove it.

Weaknesses: This information was given in the first sentence, it is only redundant to repeat it later on in the paragraph.

4. Second, NAPMMA communicates (“lobbying” in
slang terms) with local, state, and national governmental agencies and leaders
on issues of importance to our members.

Strengths: Using NAPMMA, since it has been introduced to the reader already.

Weaknesses: Lobbying is not a slang term, but is rather friendly to the common reader. Replace “communicates” with “Lobbies”, and do not mention that it is slang.
There is no reason to number these objectives. Remove, “second” and state the objective on its own. It will be a much stronger statement.

5. And lastly, we educate the motorsports public, that being current
motorsports vehicle owners, and prospective owners of said vehicles, on the
safe and enjoyable operation of they’re vehicles.

Strengths: safe and enjoyable operation of their vehicles… Concise statement, friendly to the reader.

Weaknesses: Needs to be condensed, a bit of a run-on. Remove “Lastly”. It’s a weak word, and the same applies as with the last sentence.
They’re is the wrong spelling.

I have a 1981 Yamaha Enticer 250cc (single cylinder engine). I paid $500 to replace some parts in the carb and I am getting problems already. I was driving it and drove faster then other times (60km/h max). When I came to a stop and released the throttle, the engine automatically shut off and I couldn’t get it started again. So I waited an hour, and got it started. If I didn’t give it throttle, it would die right away and would have to wait another 1 hour before being able to start it again. How come it needs to cool off???? when I start it and want to keep it running, I have to rev up the engine and keep reving it. Before it broke down that day, it worked perfectly, and now I am all of a sudden getting problems.

-I cannot get it to idle anymore
-I can take it for a ride, but cannot stop or release the throttle until I get back home, unless I don’t mind being stranded for an hour

Different people are telling me different things and I am confused. I do not want to take it back to the dealer and pay another $500. But I don’t know too much about these machines. Should I clean the carb, or adjust something?

Why would anyone spend that much to fix an old piece of junk. Two of those $500 repairs is enough money to buy a newer, more reliable sled with a better suspension and more powerful engine. $500 to replace some carburetor parts in outrageous. You should be able to buy a new carb for less than that.

I bought a 1981 Yamaha Enticer for $900. -250cc single cylinder engine
Then it broke down and I took it to the Yamaha dealer to fix it. They replaced some parts in the carb and charged me $480, and it broke down again after 3 weeks. When I came to a stop and released the throttle, it turned off and would not start again, unless I waited around 50 minutes. After the 50 minutes when I did get it started, I could not get it to Idle. When I would push the more throttle, it would rev up a tiny bit. Then I release the throttle and it turns off after 5 seconds, And can’t start it again. Then I wait another 50 minutes and I can start it, same thing happens- Does not Idle more than 10 seconds. Then another little while and same thing.
Is this because it has to cool off. And when I do wait the 50 minutes, it starts on first pull. Between the time I took it to the Yamaha dealer to the time It broke down, it ran perfectly. (And I did not drive it over 65kph.)
-is it flooded?
-or is it lacking fuel?
-Do I need to adjust something?

Thanks
-I can’t even drive it at all. It just dies out after 1 minute. If I push the throttle more, It dies out a lot sooner. If full throttle, it dies right away.

Maybe a plugged vent line, or / and carb adjustment. And go back to the Yamaha dealer and tell them to test drive it.

sounds like you need to idle it up some and change your plug and if it sounds Bogey or fluids then clean your carb and i know this is going to sound funny but smell your oil and if it smell like gas your fluding out and your carb needs cleaning and check your coil and make sure that its not getting hot that could be the reson you have to wait untill it cools down before it starts one more thing make sure that all of the Valiume lines are not cracked and all are where they should be hope this helps you .

I am very confused. But here is the story: (sorry its so long)
Last winter I bought a 1981 Yamaha enticer 250. A hundred miles later; I took my hand off the throttle, it came to a stop, and it died. I could not get it started again. The engine flooded. Gas was leaking out. I took the spark plug out and started pulling it (starter cord) and gas came spraying out. A mechanic drained the crank case so it would run again. 15 miles later (2 days of driving it) the same thing happened again, it died from flooding. So finally I decided to take it to the Yamaha dealer, an they said that some parts in the carb needed to get replaced, so they replaced those parts and drained the crank case (and charged me $480!!!!!!). This winter I started to drive it again (12 miles over 1 week), and it died the same way, but because of the same reason? So I just tried pulling it a bunch of times and it would not start. and this time, gas was not dripping from it and 30 minutes later when I took the spark plug out and started pulling it , gas was not spraying out this time. So I put the spark plug back in, started pulling and it started. I also noticed that the spark plug wire was not soldered very good (might have something to do with it?). And the 3 times it died, it was after going fast. I don’t know very much about snowmobiles and I am very confused. I am not sure what to do.

to make a long story shorter:
Took it for a drive, came to a stop and died from flooding, so I drained the crank case, and it started. Took it for another drive, and the same thing happened, but this time, I took it to Yamaha, they drained the crank case, and rebuilt the carb (cost $480). Took it for another drive, died same way, but for same reason? took spark plug out, pulling starting cord, but this time gas not spraying out. Pulled cord again and it started- Didn’t need to drain the crank case this third time.

Thanks

You got hosed on the labor. The original problem was probably the float or needle and seat. If the float gets filled with fuel or the needle sticks, your carb will constantly flow gas and flood the engine. As far as the plug wire not being "soldered very well" you shouldn’t see any solder. One end should be enclosed in the coil and the other should be covered by the cap. If the wire is loose on the coil end, you may have a bad wire. If you pull the plug out and rest it on the engine head, you should see fat, blue sparks across the plug. If the sparks are intermittent or thin, try a new plug first then test the resistance of the coil with an ohmeter, you should be able to find specs online for the coil. Its possible that you’re generator is failing too if you have sparks issues. If your spark checks out, open the air cleaner and check for debris or rodents. Make sure the choke is off when you’re running it.

i went to a dealer and bought my helmet for riding. my gf went with me so she could get one too. they had no more female street helmets all they had was the snowmobile helmets so we bought her that. the dealer told me that it was DOT and SNELL approved so it was fine for a motorcycle. its an hjc cl-15 snow http://blog.helmetcity.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cyclone-2-large-300×293.jpg and upon further inspection of the manual it says its not safe for street use. im so confused. is a snowmobile helmet safe for the street or no? is it possible to change the face shield to make it street safe?

Does the helmet have a DOT and SNELL rating sticker on it? (It should, the HJC site says it is rated as such.) Should be perfectly safe for street riding. You might be avble to change the visor to a regular street visor. Ask on the HJC website.
