I don't know the gf was riding it but it twisted the crank and took out the pistons and jugs. The general idea is that I held it wide open across the lake until it blew.

I'll bet you kept the door shut today Jay. If it weren't windy, it would have been a great day. Well, aside from the 5 hours of driving plus woking.

Thanks Mike.

You both have a long drive...

Have you only had the one problem with your sled Mike? So far mine has been pretty trouble free. I am adding an M-10 rear skid since mine is crappy as stock and the shock blew out on the last ride this spring

Just curious about the engine failure. I have personally never seen a crank go bad. I had a connecting rod on my old Phazer let go and a couple burnt pistons but not a crank. Can a CDI cause that? And how?

Morning Steve and everyone

The cdi box controls the timing. If the engine gets hot it is supposed to retard the timing. The temp light never came on but I think a motor head would have noticed it earlier. Oh well that is snowmobiling.
