Ouch man that hurt😅 first get yourself a set of JIS Screwdrivers. Everyone uses a philipshead on those screws, but they are different they are Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). Saves you from alot of broken and stripped heads. Sorry to ask but have you welded thin sheetmetal before? You cant just make a bead of weld like on a thick piece of steel. You need to tack it up and switch from side to side, so it doest get too hot. If you try to make a bead no wonder you fall through. I hope you didnt scrap the doors yet, they didnt seem to be too bad. For welding sheetmetal, go and watch fitzees fabrication on youtube, great guy to learn from! Dont get discouraged, I made the same mistakes as I started with the old cruisers.
@dustinthegarage 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the advice! I ordered some JIS screwdrivers after hopping around the forums. I am very much an amateur welder and have not welding thin metal. I didn't throw them out but I am looking for a set of replacements because this is out of my skill level at the moment. The concept of tacking it makes sense. I have a TIG welder I can try that with but it's going to take some practice on my end to get this right.

FYI I have a titan 250 and the manual says to use 10W-40. I found it at auto zone in the diesel/motorcycle section. Specifically it’s the valvoline motorcycle 4 stroke 10W-40 full synthetic. You mention “break in oil” but all my research said that the oil that the bike ships with is just to prevent corrosion and you should change the oil immediately, so I did. I’m curious to know if you used a designated break in oil or if you were referring to the shipping oil.
@dustinthegarage 5 ай бұрын
My instruction manual clearly stated it had break in oil and to change it after 300 miles. I used ON X off-road tracks to get to the 300 miles. I have used Rotella 10W-40 and 15w-40 oil in the past on my KLR650 where it worked OK with the other mods I had on that but not great. I am going to stick to the 20W-50 on this based on my previous experiences.
@Coco-Crisp25 3 ай бұрын
I just got a bike. I’m scared to start it with that shipping oil, let alone ride with it in there 😂. One of my first tasks will be changing it to gooood quality 4 stroke oil.
@RGHundo 2 ай бұрын
Just bought that bike 2 days ago. It’s smartest and most safe to change oil immediately. But since you’re not supposed to ride fast or far for the break in period, riding the shipping oil won’t tremendously hurt it unless you’re dogging the bike. I haven’t changed mine yet do to weather but mind you I only circled my parking lot twice after assembly. Best advice just put the 4t synthetic 10w-40 before any serious riding

GOOD on you! ` hope the Mrs. agrees/sees that you're havin' F U N ! While the handle bars are apart would be a good time to check/grease/replace the steering-head bearings. For a NICE lubricant that doesn't dry sticky (e.g. to lube the cables, bolt threads etc.) I like ISO-68; I buy a gallon (~$20) at the local farm supply store. Also, while apart, I would check the valve lash; it sounded clacky when you started it up. I would pull the axle bolts, CLEAN & smooth them (perhaps with fine sandpaper) and lube them with MARINE grease, which is fairly impervious to water (crossings) ... and re-torque them, CAREFULLY.
@rider65 5 ай бұрын
Nice ride out there. When you get the chance, can you list all the upgrades and mods you made with links.
@dustinthegarage 5 ай бұрын
The only upgrade (and I think it's a necessity) was pulling out the stock sealed carburetor and going with an adjustable one. I purchased the Nibbi PE28 off of Amazon, link here: amzn.to/3UbJLCO and then trial and error-ed until it was running smooth. I found that the settings for the carb where I live (super dry and riding no lower then 5,000 feet in elevation) is a 38 pilot jet with a 115 main jet. I lowered the throttle needle down to the second notch from the top so that the needle sits lower in the carb. I also bent the tab on the float so that the float level was higher which really helped with snapping the throttle to full. At my riding area, I could probably benefit from going to a 112 main jet but figured I may ride more at lower elevations this coming summer so I am sticking with the bigger jet for now. I added an hour meter to help track engine hours and maintenance schedules and get engine RPMs. Link to that here: amzn.to/48P2QPK I bought a suspension wrench kit to adjust the rear suspension for my weight (unfortunately the front suspension has no adjust-ability without changing the springs and oil): amzn.to/42gUrBY I have a Slacker Digital Suspension Tuner to set suspension levels which helps with fine tuning: amzn.to/47TrJrW That's it so far!

Just want to give you some riding tips bud... seems you're struggling a bit on the rocks and roots. A good way to improve the slow speed skills is to get a mtb and practice slow speed drills. First skill is to learn static balance. Then slow speed turning-maneuvering followed by hip and arm/elbow positioning. Learn and practice these skills and they will help your trial riding immensely! . Loving the bike btw...

Their is definitely something wrong with that poor sled. I noticed even in your first video that it did not sound right. Is that thing fuel injected or carb? But I would check the spark plugs, check the compression. check the reeds, and exhaust valves. Or it could be something put together wrong in a carburetor or a throttle position sensor. depending on if its a carb or fuel injected sled. It could be a corroded electrical connection, or a weak coil, or you could also have an air leak somewhere. That old thing should rip. And also if you are worried about snow getting in around where the windshield is supposed to be like between your gauge console and hood ensure that is sealed as well because inside there is directly open to your air box. But when that thing is on the pipe it almost sounds like it is running on one cylinder. I wouldn't beat yourself up to much about the intake or clutching. That thing has another issue, Hopefully you get it figured out and you learn to love that machine because dang I am jealous of all your snow, and the riding area looks awesome! Nothing more frustrating than something that won't run right when the conditions are so perfect.
@dustinthegarage 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the words of encouragement! I am diving into it this weekend since it's going to be blizzarding at my house and I am not comfortable riding in those conditions. It's got an aftermarket exhaust on it but definitely running on 2 cylinders. First start up of the week, it's definitely sputtering on 1 for about 30 seconds though so you may be on to something. I have an extra coil I may swap in there. Compression is good a little north of 135. Spark plugs are brand new and were a chocolate color when I pulled them. It is a carb machine unfortunately which has its own set of issues. I shined a flashlight in there and the intake is contacting the bottom plastic so there is an incomplete seal on the carbs (appears to be a non-stock intake) going to try and modify it to get a snug fit. For the top of the intake, I have some thick rubber to seal it with and I just welded an extension to the exhaust deflector to prevent snow from getting in there even more. Hopefully this is all overkill and one of the items mentioned will fix it, if not, I'll start saving for a different sled for next season and this can be my early season trail machine!
@dustinthegarage 5 ай бұрын
The KZbin comment section is a place of detectives! Yes it appears the pistons were installed backwards :( Hard way to learn from your mistakes but luckily this sled only cost me $400. Unfortunately replacement parts are a bit steep so I decided to part this one out. I have already made my money back and plan on saving for a nicer sled for next winter. I will continue to post riding content using my 2006 Polaris Switchback for this winter. I appreciate everyone's investigation into this and I will try to do better work on the next project! Hopefully I can focus on riding and getting better at that vs wrenching on these things all winter. It is my first winter snowmobiling and my first time working on 2 strokes so I have a lot to learn!

It certainly appears that you put the pistons in backwards. The rings caught the exhaust port. ring opening is supposed to go towards intake. Did not appear to be an oiling issue. When installing your pistons you want to be sure to check your ring end gap. and put a liberal coating of oil on the cylinder walls. After having a motor out you want to be sure to bleed and prime your oil pump. And mix some oil in your gas as a safety. Also I seen in your last video you wrote you left the sled running in the driveway for a half hour. Was that a half hour straight? with no cool down periods? Because if so that engine would have gotten blazing hot, as they rely on snow getting thrown up on the heat exchangers for cooling. Getting the engine extremely hot with tight ring end gaps would also cause a ring to swell and catch the exhaust port.

After a reply to my other comment, I just paid attention and took a quick look.. Its time to find a new mechanic lol.. Those pistons are installed backwards. The ring gaps are supposed to line up with the cylinder walls on the intake side, not in the middle of the exhaust port
