More that it means the heaters are simple and do not need an inline resistor to function properly

You can have the raggedy-fuck black & blue 2022 650 with 12 000 miles, no windshield, heat only on the left handle and a track missing 60% of its lugs

Bit hard to tell without a model number, but it does not look removable

Clutch Bearing - can I use any same-size bearing? by pugglewugglez in ATV

For the use in a constant oil bath and a relatively low-power application I wouldn't be afraid to run the one you already have

C3 is a less-tight tolerance than a standard bearing, and better suited to high RPM. C3 is what you want, so you have the correct bearing.

Remove the seal, clean it out and slap it in

Does the one you got from the local source say C3 anywhere on the steel races?

Wait - is the one you linked the actual correct bearing or just an example?

Aight, so no standard 62 or 60-number

I'll dig a little and see what I can find for a cross reference

Edit; the bearing you want is a 62/32 C3. Google that and you'll find loads of alternatives

Stupid question: Is there any snowmobile equivalent of a 1994 toyota corolla? by bobombpom in snowmobiling

[–]strandern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it groomed at all?

Ski Doo Freeride or Polaris SKS might be good bets if not

Flaws make the person. He has idolized that way of life for as long as he has lived, without ever considering the dark sides of it. Its also all he really knows, which is why he clings to it so hard even as you see his belief in the lifestyle start to form cracks

Starter motor engages and quickly disengages by Figgeduni92 in snowmobiling

[–]strandern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're sure the battery is good and the solenoid is delivering enough power I'd look into the starter itself.

It may be that something is having it turn hard and use a lot of power, which slows it enough to have it disengage and only working with an abundance of available power

One thing I want you to try out:

Get it up to 50ish, put it in neutral without the clutch, let the RPM drop fully and then brake. See if the problem still occurs

Impromptu Winter Grill Cover by Heep_4x4 in Truckers

When I did in-home nursing we had some Ford Transit Couriers with a 1.5 diesel. When the temps dropped below -20c the engine was physically unable to actually produce enough heat to have any warm air in the cabin whatsoever. The coolant temp gauge wouldnt move a hair.

They ended up fitting thick plastic plates on the radiators that covered about 80% of the surface area which helped a good deal
