OMG

Front drive bearing shot....usually they seize and take out pin. If your in low range I believe they are governed through ignition so you don't blow it up.

[@minnowlaketuning]

Yup broken speedopins are usually a telltale sign of a bad bearing. Surprised its gone with such low milage but it is old so understandable

[@johnbeaulieu8605]

❤if the Speedo pin went that usually means the bearing is going

[@minnowlaketuning]

Yup

[@acdatz6222]

I also noticed that the headlight isn't working.

[@minnowlaketuning]

Good eye, had the replace the bulb

Snow in the UP of Michigan is almost all gone. Sucks. Ride while you can!

[@minnowlaketuning]

She's all gone here too unfortunately

[@D00640ER]

Nice! She looks much better without the mold! What year is that, 97? I've got a 95, but not the wide track version. Mine has dual carbs and I'm surprised your's is a single carb?

[@minnowlaketuning]

Yup 97! Good eye

Im glad im not the only one that struggles with test rides! lol makes me feel better!

[@minnowlaketuning]

Haha, yeah seems to be a common thing around here to have a bad first ride lol

[@andrewfranchin3674]

Why wouldn’t you just buy a regular battery lol

[@minnowlaketuning]

It is the regular battery for the sled

[@andrewfranchin3674]

@@minnowlaketuning I have the same sled , I use a motomaster Canadian tire one that’s supposed to be for a riding lawnmower

[@minnowlaketuning]

Yeah this battery is the actual correct battery for the sled. Nothing wrong with a lawn tractor battery as long as she fits lol

[@mike.4277]

Sled needs to be covered too. Great video 👍

[@minnowlaketuning]

Yeah I actually feel kinda bad leaving it outside. I don't own a single machine that sits outside but the scandic lol

[@danielr.lariviere4917]

LOL, that Ski Doo feeling… Always something broken LOL! Seriously though, I really appreciate the time, effort and content that you share with us - This is by far one of my favourite channels on KZbin - Cheers from Quëbec 👍

[@minnowlaketuning]

Thanks for watching and the kind words, much appreciated 🙏

on your master cyl,take cover off.. there are return holes for the brake fluid, they get gummed up, take a paper clip or fine wire and run into return holes to remove clog.
