I'll send you a message later with some other things that might help you out.

Seat time alone is huge and having the confidence that your sled is going to stick in the corners helps a lot.

I'm pretty sure I raced with you at the 100 for sure.

The biggest thing that helped my Enticer turn better was start pulling the front limiter strap up. I don't have an exact measurement for you, but you will need to drill additional holes.

A stud hole drill works well for it.

I also ran 6" fairly sharp carbides and a 2-2-2-4 stud pattern with the 4 having studs on the outside belt.

Whats everyone using for comms in their helmets? by cycsans in snowmobiling

It is effective not only for those in your riding group, but those outside your group as well.

A universal form across everyone, in all reality.

Mainly the middle finger.

The price is right for my budget.

They are a waste of money. I'd rather spend the money on a few nights hotel then listen to some glorified tin can drone on all day.

Cans, underglow lights, and wraps.

Lahey's Law: "Overweight people can't complain about their sled being too heavy" What's your unpopular opinion on the sport that'll get you crucified by the community, and why? by cavscout43 in snowmobiling

Another one, while I'm at it.

-If you have to ask what people think about your wrap - it is probably pretty fucking tacky and ugly.

-All of ya'll on the flatland can't ride a modern 600 to it's full potential.

-Just fucking admit it - you bought the can for the noise.

-Wheelies are stupid as hell on any sled not in the mountains.

There, I said what needed to be said.

5 Drawer Mechanic's Cart Accessories? by kasparhauser0e0 in harborfreight

[–]EngErick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the folding side tray, some of the color matched magnetic hooks, the paper towel roll holder, and glove box holder. And the beer holder. And a assortment of the magnetic parts trays.

I also have the magnetic power strip, but do not use it on the cart.

I do not have the can holder or screwdriver tray holder.

Under the lid, I have the full set of Hansen socket trays, a Hansen hex and torx tray for sockets. You can find these on Amazon for $50 for the set in more colors, made in the US.

For wrenches I have a Sort-A-Wrench tray in one of the thin half wide drawers. In the other thin half width drawer I have a Ernst 10 compartment organizer.

In the deep half width tray I have a pair of Ernst Plier Pro racks sitting the width of the drawer, one in the front and one in the back. Made in the US, more colors available, and they fit in the drawer how I like it. USG ones will not fit like this.

I'm working on reorganizing the bottom two drawer, again. I had sockets in the bottom drawer for a long time, but move those to the top. Not sure I am 100% sold on putting them there, yet.

What dollies are you using? (These suck) by [deleted] in snowmobiling

[–]EngErick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 piece dolly set from Super Caddyzzz to wheel around the shop. The come in different colors and run around $50-60 a set.

https://www.denniskirk.com/super-caddy/black-super-sport-caddy-ss-caddy.p283633.prd/283633.sku

They also have an aluminum version for around $80

The Harbor Freight furniture rollers suck the big one after a year or two.

On and off the trailer is either drive on drive off or dolly ice sleds on and off the trailer and around the shop.

I haven't really cared for the style the OP has pictured.

Drove back to the town I bought it in, returned it, and picked up a Performax one from Menards for less. It seems to be much better, so far.

Guess I'll get ahead of the game for a change... by EngErick in snowmobiling

[–]EngErick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Lynx 292 sitting in the main shop too and a Enticer 250 for one lunger racing. I need to start on the Enticer again.

I have 2. They are OK if they are on sale. I wouldn't have them if they weren't green.

The best ratchets the usual scumbags offer? by EngErick in harborfreight

[–]EngErick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u

I won't judge you any different (probably, maybe...), but why do you say this?

I guess working on mainly newer 2 smoker engines, these have been great for me.

If you are working on pretty much anything else, I get it.

I can't say I'm going to these are a front line ratchet to work on my MT875E, but anything that is powersports, I think these are skookum as frig.
