Ski-Doo Repair

Ski-Doo is a brand name of snowmobile manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products. The Ski-Doo personal snowmobile brand is so iconic, especially in Canada, that it was listed in 17th place on the CBC's The Greatest Canadian Invention list in 2007. Ski-Doo also has its own range of snowmobile suits.


Snowmobile Repair

There are three essential components necessary for your snowmobile to run properly: 
• Fuel/air mixture 
• A spark 
• Compression 
A problem in any one of these components could cause your sled to underperform or stop running altogether. Here are some of the most common problems with these components: 

Flooded Engine 
It’s possible to flood your snowmobile engine due to over-choking/over-priming it. If this is the case, you might smell gas or even see it running out of the exhaust pipe. While the gas will eventually evaporate, allowing you to start the engine, you’re not going to want to wait if you’re out in the cold. 
Fortunately, you can manually clear the line using these steps: 
• Hit the kill switch 
• Pull the spark plugs 
• Hold the throttle open 
• Pull the starter cord 15-20 times to clear the line 
• Wipe off the spark plugs and replace them 

Dried Out Fuel Lines and Carburetor 
On the opposite end of the spectrum are fuel lines and a carburetor that have dried out. This is common when the snowmobile has not been run for a while and can sometimes be corrected with the proper use of a carburetor cleaner and/or starter fluid. In extreme cases, where the combustion chamber is not receiving any fuel at all, you may be facing either having the carburetor cleaned or even rebuilt. 

Old Spark Plugs 
Spark plugs can be tested by removing them and grounding them on a head bolt so that when the engine is turned over a spark is visible. If a spark isn’t visible or seems weak, it’s a good indication that your plugs need to be changed. 
If the spark plugs are working, or you’ve replaced them but the engine will still not turn over, there may be a problem with the electrical system. Check the coils and wires, plug caps, the regulator, and the charging discharge ignition box. 

Low Compression 
If your snowmobile is not as powerful as it once was or isn’t running at all and you’ve ruled out the other causes above, low compression could be the culprit. In this case, you want to perform a compression test on each cylinder in your machine’s engine. 
This video provides a good, quick tutorial on conducting compression testing. 

Problems with the Clutch System 
If you are experiencing trouble with your drive belt, you’re certainly going to notice it — you’ll either feel it or hear it. If your snowmobile belt fails due to disintegration, glazing, hour glassing, or it breaks either partially or completely, your snowmobile will be rendered inoperable until this drive belt system is replaced.
