Cold weather

Hello,

New to snowmachines. Here in Alaska. Both sleds are working. Have had them for two seasons but not able to ride much the first year. They both stay outside on a trailer covered with two layers. Just wondering about one of them in particular that gives me a hard time. Have two machines. 1st 2016 Ski-Doo Tundra 4 stroke 600 ACE, liquid cooled. Normally no issues with that one. Starts right up. The other is a 2014 Ski-Doo Tundra 2 stroke 550 fan cooled. Was riding yesterday with no issue. Some dumb questions if anyone has an opinion it would be appreciated.

1. While on trailer and covered but outside in the freezing cold, anything I should do to keep them in shape if only used once every 1-2 weeks. Battery/oil/ etc?

2. The 550 2 stroke fan cooled. Takes more time to start. Sometimes gives issues starting at all. At other times like yesterday(in the teens), started after 2-3 attempts and rode well. As above, Battery/oil maintenance now in the Winter?

Do I need to keep them on a charger? Change anything with oil since they are running well? Both have very low miles.

I appreciate any info that can help.

Thanks

Allan

Clutching

I have a 98 700/920 PSI Genesis, what can I do to make that thing rip out of the corners like a raped app and what can I do to make it stand straight up and do cat walks? What kind of Gearing set ups and clutching do you guys have? Does anyone know about these 10al weights, blue and silver spring and r11 helix? I heard that set up is an animal.. what are your thoughts?

communication between sleds

The guy I just got my new RMK was talking to me about some old Collett Communicators he has for his sleds. He was saying it was a great safety feature for riding with his family

Does anyone you know use them? Any thoughts on using helmet communicators when you ride?

Any thoughts would be appreciated......
Thanks

1982 JD Liquifire 440 need help!

Clean carbs, new gas, new plugs, it's got spark and will "sputter". After three pulls it's flooded to the point of fuel dripping out the exhaust. I did not rebuild the fuel pump. Carbs are at factory setting.
Any ideas?

Anyone hear from RJ?

It's been quite some time since he's been online here. Hope all is well on his end. Last I remember, he was going to get out of sledding.

Anyone hear from RJ?
