I wouldn't ordinarily do this but I want to fire up my sled and the primary is in pieces on the bench.I know your not supposed to run an engine without the clutches on and belt installed but what would be the risks of starting the engine long enough to let it warm up and circulate the coolant?

nothing will happen........ it wont turn into a giant pile of sharapnel or anything, just dont wail on the throttle and see how high you can make the tach go..........lol, and it wont hurt a thing.
Thanks guys I was hoping for that answer lol,I really want to fire this thing up and it's killing me.
