C-TEC2 800 2-stroke tear down. Blew up at 4000 miles. (PART 2 of 3)

[@tonnymiedema9165]

Awesome to see Trever is still fixing sleds. He used to do all my sled work when I got into sledding years ago

[@Derrick_Neill]

Trevor is the man!!!!! He always willing to help

[@davidhallquist7220]

I've got over 9k miles on my stock 07 m8 162 off trail mountain riding ! Not a high horsepower king motor but the longevity and durability from suzuki built two strokes is unmatched . I've heard great things about the c-tec2 cat motors also except for the air intake system taking in a little to much snow and water other than that bullet proof

[@dubiousf00d]

So glad you decided to just replace it. Would have been some stressful riding after that repair! At least for me.

[@daveclausner]

Those cats never let you down. They will always break

[@gabrieljorah5781]

I'd love to see you're old school sleds again 👌🏾

[@cannedham3774]

I had to put a crank in my 13 m8 wtih 4k mi on it around the same time you were making this video.. 3 to 4k and your playin with fire on these sleds.

[@Triplethreatindustries]

It’s always been our rule in the western US that you replace the pistons , rings, at around 1800-2000 miles also like to check the reeds , look for any leaks. Etc saves a lot of money in the end.

[@danielfoley8354]

For what. Had 18000km on a 600. Compression was up to par.

[@nikazone]

this reminds me of my zr600 took the engine out to change the crank seals, put the bottom end back together found out the crank bearings have some play was kinda mad about that but for one bearing it was almost as much as a crank on ebay, i found a new old stock from ebay plus found 2 new old stock jugs put it back together fired it up last week runs mint idles good

Get the bdx filter that goes in the air box to keep water from getting in it is a big issue on the ctec-2 sleds

[@DIGIT9]

Legends

[@randydutka9302]

Are you a believer in using arctic cat ctec oil in ctec engine or other brand

[@DIGIT9]

Ya it works fine , but I use Legends in all my mod motors so just use that in Ctec engine too !

[@tylerlands7707]

Dose yours have 4 spark plugs because on my 2014 cat m8 hcr has 4 spark plugs

[@ippielb]

You live in sicamous? i ride there all the time got a buddy who has a house there. Mac's doesnt have much for cat parts. best bet is to just go to sushwap extreme. They are one of the best cat dealerships. What you gonna do with the old case half? Should try fix it anyways and have a spare one sitting around.

[@stivic923]

See....you listened to my comment in the last video about welding it up

[@nathanbirtles3046]

I have a question, so i have a 2006 arctic cat f7 (stocked). And it won't go over 7000rpms, I brought it to county cat, they said the power valves are good the reeds are good, the ecu was good, they thought it was the stator. So I was wondering if you could help me out? thank you!

[@DIGIT9]

Ya could be stator ? Limp mode maybe ? Any codes ? Im sure they checked for codes ! Prob stator !

[@brendaneckstein4082]

@@DIGIT9 There were no codes! So yeah you're probably right, it's probably the stator. I'll let you know if that's the problem. Thank you so much. I love your videos.

[@dannyd806]

Do you have a video on choke adjustments? My 98 Mach 1 700 triple isn’t running the best. The choke doesn’t feel right, I feel like it could be stuck opened? She’s runs and idles but she’s just lacking power. Ideally I’d just like to ship it to you and you give her a once over 🤣 but that isn’t happening.

[@MMikeHD3904]

Ah man ..shitty dude

[@magenate1]

Pretty obvious it was a piston failure not a case failure...what scared you off from welding it? Tig it up and grind it smooth ...would probably be the strongest part of that case lol...good content thanx!

To cold to ride this weekend anyways. Time better spent in a heated garage cutting fingers.

That fix totally depends on how good your welder is and how clean can he get the metal. Definitely possible
