Thanks for this!

Did not see anything on your other posts but what are the resistant valves when check the ignition coil?

Hey there. Are you still active here on KZbin? Man, your videos have helped me out so much on my 100 dollar phazer journey. Picked up a ‘91 with 3900 miles on it for 100 bucks. Guy took it apart because it had a really high idle. And if he lost interest or didn’t have the knowledge or drive to put it back together I don’t know. Brought it home and went through everything. I saw it had a torn carb boot right away which I’m guessing was the idle issue. Got it all back together and she just fired for the first time in 3 years. Idle is a little low and I have some gas spitting out exhaust which I’m guessing may be stuck float? Going to let it run for a while and see if some things work themselves out. I set up the carb/throttle/oil just like you said in your videos. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks and will probably have questions if your still around.

When you were doing your test on the stand in the shop, I noticed that your plug cap on the starter side was vibrating and appeared to be loose. That may have been the bogging issue

These videos really helped me. Thank youuuuuu

Does the airbox have a filter?

How about a video removing the primary clutch.

what fuel/oil ratio did you run after bypassing the oil injection ?

I just bought this exact same tractor and it runs at the sitting for so many years, but I can push it forward, but I can’t push it backward when it’s a neutral. Is that normal with this type of mower?

hi there do you live in the leavenworth area ? could use your help on a 92 phazer carb problem i got going on.

I love these rare, unique pieces of equipment.

I just picked one of these up in January 2024. It is a 1988 in the Blue-grey color. I had been looking for a little one-lunger just to bang around on. This sled popped up near my house and for the right price. Of course we didn't really have a true winter here in Wisconsin last year, but for the few days we did have snow, I had a blast on it. (Along with my Indy, of course.) I did the TORS Delete as well, while installing a tether switch. Currently rebuilding a leaky water pump. I actually have posted a few videos of this sled...mostly working on it, bur a couple riding vid's as well. The only real issue I have with it is that many parts are now pretty much unobtainium. Otherwise I love this little machine.

Nice video, any chance you could post link to the spark arrester?

Actually there is no climate change crisis. All lies like everything else

Beautiful bike

Say be chance do you have a Phazer seat? Looking for one in decent condition for my 1990 Phazer 2 LE.

I’m doing a video on a phazer rn and I didn’t know how to do this. Thanks for getting right to the point!

The star screws that hold the damn plastics on lol. Those things are perma seized on all the phazers up her in northern Ontario,Canada.

Ummm... bullllshit.. you know all our phazers star screws are seized and stripped to shit.. ours aint coming out.. lol

Would you happen to know where the ski handle loops for the Kitty Kat were obtained?

I'm in process putting a 1989 motor in 1998 Phazer SS. The 1998 has the 2 wire pickup coil (w/r & w/g wires) where the 1989 has a different stator and flywheel and the engine only has the w/r wire. So I have a floating w/g wire on the chassis harness. Is the 89 compatible? I'm hesitant to swap the stator and pickup because I don't think the stator mounting points are similar. Ever run into this? Great videos - so far they have helped me but I've been combing the internet trying to figure this out.

Bbbrrrrraaaaaappppp!! MAGA 2024!!!

I have a 1990 phazer 2 and it is super boggy in the low end, once it clears up it runs perfect. Ive replaced the belt, have cleaned the carbs multiple times and still have no luck. Rubber plugs in carb are in the right places and in good shape. Any ideas what i could try?

Have a 91 phazer 2 that dies every so often after the motor is warmed up. Idle is fine and no fuel/carb issues. I bypassed the throttle over ride at the carb and so far so good. Is there also a over ride at the handlebar throttle?

I started buying 80s phazer a couple years ago, 88 phazer was my first new snowmobile back in high school. Your channel is by far the best on giving great information on this old sleds. Great memories working and riding these sleds.

That air box is pay back for world war 2.

LOVE THE WAY THIS GUY HAS SENTIMENTAL FEELINGS LIKE I DO WITH MY COLLECTION OF SLEDS, I LOVE THE OLD SLEDS, THEY HAVE CHARACTER , THEY SPEAK TO YOU THROUGH SIMPLE DESIGNS, GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU, I WISH YOU WELL, MY FRIEND!!!

There is no easy way, but I have also pulled the carbs with air box still in. Good idea to remove choke cables and activate choke lever so choke plungers don't fall off. Seems to be easier to remove cabs with boots attached, but clamps removed from air box. Oil pump cable and throttle cable easier to removed when carbs twisted so linkage is vertical, as well as replaced. Boost bottle removed first. O ring pick with 90 degree is useful in making sure boots are fully seated.

Any easy way to fix a broken gas cap? Looks like you have to replace the whole tank if the cap is broken...

What the différences excel 3 and enticer ?

ty very useful direct no bullshit ... got myself a 1989 venture with reverse and ewas wondering how yank that airbox out TY

STEP 1: Take PICTURES of EVERYTHING before taking it apart! A picture can save you loads of time and questions later. STEP 2: INDEX all parts that have to re-align later! A couple of small dimples with a center punch or mark the assembly with a Sharpie can save a ton of headaches later on.

I have a 97 600xtc and this clutch looks the same??? What is the torque on the main bolt? Any help is appreciated.

Good video man. Testing the needles that way is pretty smart. How many times I’ve put a carb back on to have an issue that I could’ve just tested!

Thanks Changing jets for altitude for the first time and needed a lil help

Nice little sled! I’d like to get a bravo sometime, got a couple phazers and an exciter 440.

I don't know if this helps, but i ran a roller on my secondary on my 96' phazer. I put a 144 on it and the roller let it shift correctly. Begore, it was always wondering in between a good spot and a terrible one. Pipe that thing too. Huge hp gains for cheap

Bravo is certainly a beautiful machine. I have the exact one myself.

Would you sell that dg pipe?

I found if I warm up center section where belt rides and it pops off tapered shaft

dirty jets

Your mower is actually an 88 to 92 I have one as well, they only started making them in 88 and stopped in 92. Just wanted to let you know. Sweet find tho alot of people like these mowers and I'm told there pretty rare, mine still runs and everything but I had to weld alot of replacement metal for the mower deck, it was Hella rotted.

WARNING to all who will attempt this by themselves. The big plastic piece that goes on the front of the seat is thinner further in compared to its the edges. If you use a staple gun further in than on the edges you will go right through the plastic and puncture holes in the seat cover. I learned this the hard way.....

Question for ya, I have my 89 phazer with a aaen pipe and some other odd end mods done to it, I just put in a 144 long track and I'm curious on what I should do for springs in my secondary and primary, I'm very new to clutching and I'm super confused😅

Great job!

Thanks for this helpful video!

Thank you

I have to ask,is the fuel pump mounted on the oil tank on the side if you remember it? The manual shows nothing.Thanks in advance.Thats a great sle,wish ya kept that gem.

sounds great!! Did you have to take both side panels off to get the primary clutch off?or will it get by the pogo on its own? Thanks for posting.

Watch beating on them cranks, it doesn’t take much to move them on their press fit. I had one twist from a belt breaking and jamming up, beat it straight, checked between centres and TIG welded the throw pin where it moved. Lasted four seasons before broke. Cranks are a known issue with the 485’s, be gentle on them or you’re asking for trouble!
