SnowMobile Information| SnowMobiles

I live lakefront in Canada and there are snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, cars and trucks on the lake having a blast on a daily basis. My question is, apart from drinking and driving, what other laws apply to cars and trucks on the lake? There certainly is no posted speed limit, so what laws apply? Just curious

Here in California, we have bears (cops) patrolling all waters, and you can be busted for ANY kind of reckless behavior, including driving a boat under the influence, speed, overload, and a HOST of other offenses, so common sense should be used at all times.

I THINK the same would be true on a frozen body of water.

i think my ski doos timing might be off because sometimes it wont turn off when i try to turn it off and somtimes when i turn it off it will make a put sound and if you dont give it a full pull over then it will stall then it will take like 10 pulls to start it. so if any one know if it is off timing or somthing else could you tell me and if it is timming then could you tell me how to fix it?

I don’t know what type of engine these have on them. If you can update with that info we may be able to help you. If you can give us year, engine manufacturer, and what horse power it is. Small engines use fuel shut off solenoids, ignition kill wires to ground the ignition, and flywheel brakes to shut off the engines just to name a few. It varies by application, but your problem does not sound like timing. If you update we will try to help. Good luck.

Great ski (and snowboard) guaranteed Puy Saint Vincent is part of the Grande Galaxie Ski Area. Because of that, it is possible to access over 200 runs or trails as one ski pass allows you to ski and snowboard any of the La Grave, Les Deux Alpes, Briancon or Serre Chevalier ski resorts. Some pistes are above 2500 meters, thereby making skiing and snowboarding (in the snow park) conditions possible for a much longer season than on the lower runs. There’s 60 km of down hills and an equal number of cross-country trails in the resort. Snowboarders will find a fun park fully equipped with jumps and slides. With over 15 ski lifts and one going as high as 2750 meters, you days will certainly be full! The bigger part of the resort’s residences and hotels are at an altitude of around 1400 meters. In addition, most accommodations are amply attired, to take care of your children while you go down more demanding pistes in the afternoon. If you want to avoid the turmoil of overcrowded ski resorts, then Puy Saint Vincent is quite calm compared to its neighbours. It has been a well kept secret among ski vacationers for quite some time now. Savvy skiers and snowboarders know how hard it is to find such great ski conditions in an uncongested resort offering the following: 2 black runs, 12 red runs, 14 blue runs and 6 green runs, all easily accessible from Puy Saint Vincent proper. A resort all about sports You will not find tons of apres-ski offers in Puy Saint Vincent, there is not much of a nightlife, but neither will you probably hear any loud drunken foreigners while you try to recuperate from your day on the slopes. And conditions are perfect for joyful and singular exterior activities. Try paragliding or, if you prefer to have both your feet on the ground, then try a snowshoe trail adventure or a dog sled ride. If you are in need of flat surfaces after spending hours going up and down, try the outdoor ice skating rink. And if you like motor sports, then you can go on quad or snowmobile rides. You can also go ice cascades (waterfalls) climbing. In short, if you want your days to be fuller than full with various assorted outdoor activities, then Puy Saint Vincent is the place to pick for your next ski holidays. And other than the slopes, some restaurants and bars can be found in Puy Saint Vincent, but don’t expect any dancing to partying. But of course, after a very exhausting day, there are plenty of accom modation options where you can rest your weary head, and legs… and arms. Here, a day of enjoyment leads to a night of quiet rest. A resort for all ages When Junior is ready to try your favourite sport, there are some great nursery runs for beginners in the resort. There are also a few good ski schools to choose from. If most of the slopes are for the middle-grade, intermediate skiers and experts alike will have a few days of good runs. Honestly, there might not be enough runs to keep a family of six fully challenged for more than a week though but since Puy Saint Vincent is bordering the Les Ecrins National Park, the whole family will indeed find interesting additional activity options there. In addition to being part of the Galaxie ski area, Puy Saint Vincent, France is really two resorts in one. You’ll find a newer resort town built at 1600 meters and the older village at 1400 meters. There are seven snow cannons and the ski lifts are able to carry nearly 14,000 skiers and boarders per hour. But even during the peak season, Saint Vincent, France, is unlikely to see hoards amassing to such an extent. So for your next vacations, if you wish to get away in the wilderness, without crowds and with great skiing or snowboarding opportunities, you now know that Puy Saint Vincent is the place to be. But keep the secret!

Even under torque it smokes really bad but the track still will not move but will move when the motor is not running

Sounds like the clutch isn’t engaging. Do you have the proper sized belt?

when he bought the sled it ran fine, he took it for a ride and he had no complaints. the next day he said it went 4 miles then smoked a pistion and wants me to pay for the repairs. The sled was sold as is and had good compression when i sold it to him. Am i responsible for the rapairs.

Unless you gave him a written warranty (and you say it was sold as is, so that would not apply) he has no claim against you. You sold him the snowmobile as is, and he now has to pay for any and all repairs.

Tell him to enjoy HIS snowmobile. You owe him nothing. If he paid you by check, and you have not yet deposited it, take it to his bank first thing in the morning and get cash. If he stopped payment on the check, have him arrested for theft.

Do not pay for any repairs, tell him that the deal is over.

I was wondering who makes the motor for the ski-doo snowmobile. or does more then one make their motors?

Actually, more than one makes the motors, for the Ski-Doo Snowmobiles. Lets start, in the early 1960’s… The first Ski-Doo Snowmobiles, had a single cylinder motor, probably, a Sacs, JLO, Kohler, Rotax. The single cylinder motor was used, at least till 1986. It was a strong motor, though it didn’t have much horsepower… About 14 hp, in the first ones, till about 1967. From then, the horsepower, in the single cylinder motors went up, some, and stayed there, till the single cylinder motor was not produced anymore. One other single cylinder that Ski-Doo had was their own make… A Bombarder. This motor, along with the Rotax, is still being made, today, only in a twin cylinder, and triple cylinder motor. The Kohler,Sacs, and the JLO engines also had their time for a twin cylinder, but, they were phased out, eventually.

iv got a 1999 arctic cat z 440 that i need to rebuild. just did a compression test and the cylinder on the clutch side has 35 lbs of compression and the cylinder on the fan side has 5 lbs of compression. the sled should have somewhere around 115 lbs each piston so i need to rebuild the whole motor. i need gaskets and i also want to do oil seals and obviously new piston rings. is there anything else i should do also? if im building a complete new motor what else do i need?

Lol, motor building is an art and comes on a case by case situation. buy a Winderosa COMPLETE gasket and seal kit, make sure your pistons are mated to the jugs, clean the carbs and check your carb boots for leaks, there is always a reason an engine fails, be sure to remove all aluminum from the jugs before honing, or recoat in the case of nickesil, you may want a fresh set of crank bearings, be sure to check your jetting.

My fiance is turning 25 next week, and I am looking for some idea on what to do. He isnt big on going out, so I plan on having a few drinks with him and some friends the weekend after his birthday.

Buttt I would like to plan something unique- I have dinner reservations at his favorite restaurant, but I need something different.

He is into pretty much anything with a motor (cars, snowmobiles, trucks, etc..) but I am stumped at the moment. Any real advice would be appreciated.

If there’s one in your area, he would love to use a flight simulator.

Or maybe a hairy real flight with one of those companies that offer them?

A ride around a race circuit in a racing car? Some places offer them.

Hope it works out.
