I had a chance to head up near Vail Pass for some fun in the snow this past weekend. It was really, really fun. I was taking it really easy, with abundance of safety and caution.
Few things I've observed along the way:
1) The tunnel in the tail of the sled and right under the seat got pretty hot - why would that be, there is no exhaust there or anything.... could that be just from the friction of the snow hitting it repeatedly? There is nothing else under there....
2) The brand new drive belt that I've put on it has developed a noticeable whine towards the end of the outing. It was crying loud at lower speeds and would stop above 20mph. I suppose a belt adjustment is needed. It currently sits 1/8'' above the pulley's rim. Should I lower it to be more flush with the pulley rim?!
3) I've had the check engine light flicker on and off midway through the ride - it really worries me. I've seen the code flash across the display at times: 9-9 or 9--9, didn't stay on long enough. I've poured over the User Manuals for this machine but of course they don't cover Check Engine light or trouble codes in any detail. I'm having a local Ski-doo shop with BUDS equipment check it out on Fri.... I'm worried about it.
Would appreciate some guidance.
