Finally broke down and started up the sleds yesterday and gave the lawn a good thatching. My 04 viper with cpr trips has some oil leaking from the PTO pipe. This is the first time it was fired up. I did clean the PV and all the cables are within spec. In fact the oil cable is on the lean side around 22MM. Should i worry about this or do i just need to run it and clean out the pipes? Sled is new to me but did not notice this when i bought it. :letitsnow
 
like said above could be just a bad seal and excesive oil,run it some if still doing it you may have a simple gasket going south.
 
Thanks Guys, I'll Keep An Eye On It And See What Happens. I'm Hopping Next Weekend We Can Get Up North To The House And Run These New To Us Sleds ( The 2 Vipers ).

Been done times 10. Skids, carbs, exhaust, ski's (toe and ext....). I cant think of anything left but to run them and see how they go. The 04 with the mods i am a little nervous about untill i can see some proper plug and jet wash. Thats the one ill just have to go and keep an eye on. :letitsnow
