@Gnar_Shralp406, nice stoke.
You and Ballsy back in the shop this year? And when can I count on you guys for a couple of tunes without creating stress. 1 patrol tune and 1 tourist tune and I have a new pair of Stormriders that need clamps:wink:
From yesterday.

That's rather motivating ^^
Ballz might be up there already, and I'll be starting in a week or so. The first couple weeks are fairly slow with tunes/mounts so drop by any time!Quote:

Got the diesel heater in the cat today. So go ski, leave the heater on, come back to warm/dry cat.
This vid is like minimal throttle engagement. It will creep along, but will also go much faster. Faster than you'd want to go.

Sweet. Probably a stupid question but how is the throttle set up? Pedal?

Stock cable from carbs routed to a pedal. Same for choke. Reverse is similar.Quote:

Your 100% spot on. Stock snowmobile throttle throw is about 3/4" maybe 1" cable movement. So you have to come up with a solution that accomodates that without going zero to full throttle immediately.Quote:

It's not as hard to handle as it looks, but for the uninitiated, it's a little sporty.
To add, brake steer cats aren't smooth like hydrostatic, but that realm is expensive and out of my area of knowledge. Requires increase throttle/power during turn initiation/completion as well, because you're skidding 10ft of track on gravel. Lotta resistance to overcome.
I might know some of the areas you're thinking about. Most seasonal roads are already gated on granite county side. I spend a decent bit of time on granite county side of skalkaho. We get quite a bit of pressure from out of state hunters(and hunters in general). From my buddies who have been out the general consensus is that even with the new snow it's been a slow start but I was just talking to a buddy who got his cow and was going back to stalk a bull this morning. Not blowing up any spots but the whole area from east fork to Moose ck gets hit hard but there's also a ton of "truck" hunters. Tons of bma's. Hit me up on pm's if have a specific area and if I have any knowledge I'll help ya out.Quote:

Race training on Andesite is in progress! Good thing it has started snowing a bit. Lake Levinsky is already looking kind of low.

Gnar is winning.
Nice to see more white stuff this morning. Thankfully, I got most of my lights up yesterday. I will post up some photos at some point.
