Hello
We FINALLY got just enough snow for me to test this thing out for the first time this season. Suspension wise is better. I think a little more weight on skis would be good. Back actually squats a little when flooring it but still spins track. On road with maybe an inch of hardpack. I think it wants to lift skis because steering gets very light and unresponsive but doesn't dart upon deceleration. Bars a little to left when going straight. Clutching is great. Didn't look at tach but seems perfect. Didn't blow up clutch and no vibration.
The bad:
This has been happening for a few weeks now pulling in and out of garage. I thought it was dampness or warm temps. I am not the brightest crayon in box but seems like a TORS issue. Just like that video(I wish it was longer so I could hear it better). But mine never died. Heres what is happening: Fire it up like usual, warm it for a minute or 2(It came out of a heated garage). Started testing handling and what-not, let up on throttle and motor sounds like its cutting out and if I give gas, it sounds like a rev limiter at 2500rpm and smoke. Now if I let gas off all the way until it idles for a second, hit gas and almost fly off the back because I thought it would still be in "limp mode". Plugs had 5 mins on them and did this with old ones too. I also thought it was a bad plug cap like the guy with video. I have no idea just how the tors works but that last 2 or 3 seconds of that video where he lets off gas sounds exactly like mine. I did carbs at end of last season for some reason. I do not think its carbs. I swear it fouls a plug and put on gas to bring it up driveway and put-put-put so I got off letting go of throttle to walk along side, sled idles normally for a second and I put gas on and sled almost flys into garage with me not on it. I will read the tors tech section. Its like throttle has to close for a second and then its fine. Let gas off even a little and it does it. I pulled it in garage. Plugs all perfect(barely have a color yet). Watched throttle switch, unplugged and replugged throttle switch. Looked under wirecover in center of handlebars. pushed a few connectors together. Parked it. I couldn't take kerosene smell anymore from heater from working on other sled and snowblower all day. I didn't change anything with what I did. Like I said, I don't even know if what I was looking at had anything to do with tors. With all that spitting and sputtering, it comes down to a perfect idle, does not die. If this makes any sense to anyone please respond. All I can say is it sounded exactly like that other members sled like the last 3 times it fires on the video. Other then that seems great. Love that clutching MrViper! I will probably taylor it a little depending what it does in a real life situation. Can't really test the downshift with this problem. This started suddenly maybe 2 weeks or so ago. Also I saw scotch loc looking things under handlebar wrap, maybe for warmers.
Thanks
P.S. just made a video, let me figure out how to get it on here.
