well this day is done for me and what a day it turned out to be..not what I was thinking for my afternoon ride..lol
Headed back to the River and going along a ditch leading to the Bridge and decided to cut across the ditch in a long run.Got my speed going and started to hit the snow..I knew it would be soft but not this soft.Well about half way across it and the sled stated to slow down and I said "OH OH!!!!"Then all of a sudden the back end starts to dig down,I basically bailed the sled and hung on to the throttle to get weight off..but finally it stopped and I friggin got her sunk down nearly four feet and ski's pointing up.HOLY CRAP the next 1.5 hours becomes no fun.Had a little shovel with me,but sure wished it was bigger..lol
A couple people stopped on the roadway but there was no way they could help..at least they checked to see if I was ok.Started to dig slowly since it about 1pm..figuered I have at least 6 to 7 hours before night hits.Cleared a path and all the snoe under sled..thried for a run and moved ahead about 4 feet and back to where I was again.The snow ahead of the sled was about waist deep....
So I dug some more around and up front,pulled the sled back down and took another shot..I was getting no where.
Finally 2 Ski-doos pull up,the father in one sled and his 2 kids on the other.They told me the owner of the Gas Station went by and saw me and let him know to go and help me.Thought that was cool.There proceded to move and tramp snow ahead of my 600 as I still shoveled a little more away from under it.Another guy pulled up with his Doo and helped a few minutes andwe pulled my sled back as far as it would go and I gave her.Started climbing out but almost dug down again 15 feet ahead..had her pinned to the bar..thought for sure motor was gonna blow.Finally it was out,thanked the guy..took some pics from the back of the sled when I was in the hole and a few pics of him and his kids in the hole..
What a wasted 1.5 hours.Proceeded down the River heading North for 7 miles and then I see another sled in trouble along the River Bank.It was a Polaris.The guy was climbing the River bank,but couldn't see under the snow it was a straight up 5 foot wall of dirt ,he hit it..it bounced him to the right sideways and track in the air and hood down in the snow and he couldn't move it.So I stopped and helped him turn the sled and aim it down..he felt stupid I think..so today a Doo guy helps me and Me the Yami guys helps a Polaris guy..wow what a day..lol..Anyways I am home.
Get in the yard and my motor doesn't sound right,like only 2 cylinders firing..I think ÖH OH"again..did I blow a piston.It did not sound good,tried different plug in the PTO cyl as it sounded like the one and nothing..Now took compression tester and all cylinders were good..127/130/129..I was happy.Thinking it nay be plug caps now,seen the mag wire had some frays or cracks on it.Got the caps from my SRX that I replaced with new ones last year.Cut all 3 wire clean and put them on,put 3 new plugs in as well.Now it really wasn't firing..After 8 pull s it did finally.The engine sounded good again..so don't know what the deal was.Fired it up may times to be sure and notice it is harder to start since I put the 3 SRX plug boots on.It will start,,just takes more pulls.Even with engine warm I have to pull it harder to get going.NOW are the SRX plug boot causing this??Is there a difference between the SXR and SRX boots..something funny here..but at least it runs.Probably tomorrow it will take more then 1 pull to start something tells me.
Sorry for the long story here but this damn 600 triple is 1 tough motor after all it was thru today.The snow was deep and sled was just purring the surface..I am not planning on getting this stuck EVER AGAIN!!>.
PICS: lmao now..and no Heart Attack from all that digging..
