Good morning Jim and the rest of the crew!
Took the sled out on the trail last night so Mason could get some experience. He got some alright. Sled quit almost back to home. I think the oil injection isn't working. Anyone have any ideas on how to test it without a complete tear down?

Good morning Jim!

That's not good. No oil to the engine doesn't sound to good.
Good morning Chris!
Good morning Jay!
That is kind of what I was thinking.....not good.

Good morning, guys!
That's not good, Troy. I'm unfamiliar with the oil injection systems on a sled, but they're known for causing issues on outboard boat motors. Lots of folks mix their gas and remove the system.

Well sorta, it died and I couldn't pull it over at first. I removed belt and pulled home (from the bottom of the hill) then it turned over but wouldn't start right away. I have a feeling the cylinders are probably scored but started and ran about hour after I was checking it out. Plugs don't look oily or dark but not white so I'm thinking it was running on more gas than oil. I also didn't have spark until it cooled so I'm thinking ignition might be funky too. See what happens when you don't drive stuff often!!! Summer project!!

How hot outside was it? You weren't running wide open for a long time were you? Fan belt isn't broken is it? Did you clean the carbs? Have to do a compression test to see if one side is low or both are
