Getting the second Enticer going

[@keigan9006]

Andrew, about 4 decades ago I had a Yamaha 440 Exciter. Same issues as you are dealing with. From time to time, we would need to take the carb off and give it a good cleaning job. Then that snowmobile would scream down the trails. At first you were having a lot of issues with smoke while the engine was running - but, it appeared that the smoke went away after that carb cleaning was done. Good job!

[@jaynegus4526]

I used to have the same machine ( it was a 1980 model ). It had an air leak in the lower end so I installed all new gaskets and crank seals - I never knew exactly what was leaking but the new gasket kit solved the problem. I wish I never sold that machine - it was so simple and reliable - I loved the heated wind shield - On very cold rides I could heat my gloves over the hot air duct on top of the engine hood.

Andrew is blessed with having a lot of knowlege to finx just aobut anything. Reminds me of the old days when our parents and grandparets couldn't afford NEW stuff so fixed what they had and make it all work:-) Think more and More we would, as a society, go back to that.

Well Andrew you scored big on these. I've rode some new sleds but I still come back to the older ones. Yes it's more work to stear. Yes they bounce more. No they don't have the high travel suspension. No high tech. But they leave me smiling and if something happens I can fix it by myself and on the trail. Thanks Andrew. I pushed you for these videos and I'm happy you did them. Plus I can see you have fun! Any more??? Haha.

[@bigjay6743]

Thing is you can have just as much fun on that old sled if not more because you're not so worried about breaking it and they always run. No computers to break in that bad boy those little Enticer were great they're so light you can almost put it on your shoulder if you get stuck. Only negative thing I would say about that sled is the suspension is a little hard on the back. But besides that you can go all day on a tank of gas. My first sled was the 250 1 lung then I had the 340 loved those little Enticers...

[@matt420740]

Crank seals are responsible for sealing the engine where the crankshaft meets the case. Bad seals will allow air to be sucked into the crankcase. And since on a two stroke the the air/fuel mixture also travels through the crankcase, leaking crank seals will cause a lean condition. Most obvious symptom of bad crank seals is a high idle once the engine gets hot.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks, yeah, that sled ran well for the rest of the year. I guess the previous owner had miss diagnosed it.

That's why i'm convinced every engine should have a decent air filter,even if supposed to work in a "dust free" or "mouse free" environment. Nice work : ) The previous owner maybe thought it was running lean ,because needed the choke,so he thought to the cranck seal ,because used to it by dirt bikes i guess.

[@calholli]

There is also a small idler jet in that little cylinder on the side of the main jet.. It's usually a small flat head to pull it out... It will have several small holes along the side and a small center orifice... That's usually the issue when they won't idle. Just make sure you don't tighten them too much when you put them back in..keeps it easy to fix again later.

Tip : if you don't have a ultra sonic cleaner a very cheap alternative for soaking torn down carbs is soaking them in tarn~x jewelry cleaner which is a few$. Just don't soak any rubber gaskets and remove the needle and seat If they are rubber ,for really gummed up carbs. Carb cleaner will swell anything rubber. Or use some purple cleaner with baking soda and water in a sealed container( tuber ware ,ect) and place in your trunk for a few days while you drive around. All the sloshing around from acceleration,stopping and corners will have the same affect as a ultra sonic cleaner. If you get pulled over by the cops just tell them that you are just cleaning a carburetor ! Lol

[@morgansword]

Well his lose is your gain. I got a small one when I got my first one but an hour later found me back at this place where they sold them to get the biggest baddest one they had... that was stupid too but they are so much fun and addictive to speed when you ride in all kinds of weather. I seen you leave baire handed then next day when working on it, you had your mittens on which getting to that airbox is tough anyway and you can believe where they got the saying... ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag. After that, I paid attention in summers where there were more of them around and I paid very little to free for them. Get all of them going and first snow they were on craigslist and gone in short time for good money. I had christmas money to give my kids and they had their own machines but teaching them to respect them, no drinking and driving with your buddies stuff that every dad goes through (bout time that you carry on your name..hint) cause raising kids when your older or just old isn't fun at all. Great video and if you take yours up in the mountains then its "drone" time. Really brought back great memories, Thanks Andrew... I bet your wife enjoys riding if it has electric start/LOL

[@Well_I_am_just_saying]

I would suggest using a small squeeze bottle to put gas in the cylinders. I always keep a small bottle of gas with me at all times when I am snowmobiling along with my spare spark plugs and tool kit. If my machine won't start out on the trail, 99% of the time either it is not getting gas to the cylinders or the spark plugs are bad. With a squeeze bottle of gas, it is very easy to diagnose the problem. If I put some gas in the cylinders, and it will fire right up then I know that I am getting spark and most likely the problem is somewhere in the fuel system. I always used to use an Old Rain-X squeeze bottle because it was durable and worked good to squirt gas in the cylinders. Now I need to run out and buy an ultrasonic carburetor cleaner machine. I always used to use a gallon carburetor cleaner soak can, but the Ultrasonic Cleaner probably would have done a better job. I know you are not driving very fast, but you might want to consider throwing a helmet on your head when test-driving these machines. It doesn't take much to tip one of those things over. Thanks for the videos and stay safe!

[@the_hate_inside1085]

You don't need a helmet riding that, it has a nice wind shield.

[@gatorhunter1]

Yeah, those ketchup/mustard bottles with a couple of inches of hose on the end work good.

looks like you had a good result there Andrew.

Try Omegaclean in the Ultrasonic tank... it won't discolor the aluminum and it does a better job than Zep.

If you can get it to run, a propane torch will tell you if seals are gon. Don't light torch, just run propane near crank seals. If gon the motor will speed up as it sucks in the propane.

[@TheCuttingtorch]

Andrew Camarata If it's minimal you won't know it until your full throttle across the field. It just depends on how bad the leak is. But I hope it's not the case. Sometimes a sled will burn down and they will just throw new pistons in and it will run fine so they can get rid of it. But the problem isn't solved. Probably not the case here but I would just keep an eye on the plugs for a while, then no worries.
