Fall Snowmobile Preseason Inspection:

A fall preseason inspection is really a mandatory service before you put your sled into service when the snow flies.  The only question is if you prefer to do it yourself or let Petrie Motorsports' certified mechanics perform the service.  If you refer to your owners manual you will find a recommended service chart that outlines what needs to be done and how often.  At Petrie Motorsports we have two levels of fall service - "A" and "B".

The $150 "A" service is a basic inspection of all the sleds major components, lube the front and rear suspensions, new spark plugs, change the chaincase oil, and  give the sled a general check-up.  This service is a check and fix as needed program (things like runner hyfax, brake pads, carbides, etc. are checked and replaced if needed at extra cost).   

The "B" service is a thorough sled maintenance program that takes 4-5 hours to complete.  The charge is $325 for twins and $400 for triples plus parts.  The main parts of this service are three items: 1) Clean carbs - disassemble, clean, reassemble, and synchronize  2) Remove and clean RAVE valves, remove all carbon and reinstall with new gaskets  3) Clean clutches - remove both clutches, disassemble, clean and inspect for any worn or out of spec parts, reassemble, install and align clutches.  In addition to these three main items we also perform all of the items on the "A" service and all components are checked and replaced as needed.  Extra parts or repairs needed are at additional cost as well as items like frozen up cams in the secondary clutch (caused by not doing an annual inspection)!  Older sleds and certain models (PRS chassis in particular) may cost more.

We recommend the "B" service to keep your sled at its peek performance and to prevent any problems during the riding season.  All it takes is a dirty carb to cause a piston burn down and then the $260 for the fall service will look cheap!

To insure that your sled will be ready for you in the fall there are a few essential steps you need to perform:

1)  Wash and clean the sled to remove any salt residue and dirt.

2)  Lubricate and grease the chassis and suspension.  Pay particular attention to rear suspension shafts and steering joints.  Grease them until you see grease starting to come out the ends and use a spray lubricant on all steering ball joints.  Don't forget the grease zerk below the secondary clutch, this lubricates the left side drive axle bearing and is worked hard all season long and often neglected. 

3)  Use a fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank to keep the fuel conditioned.  You need to either drain the carbs or run the sled long enough to get the fuel stabilizer into the carbs.  This may require running the sled for up to 15 minutes at idle to thoroughly circulate the fuel (we recommend pulling the float bowl drain and drain all the fuel out of the carbs to prevent varnishing of the carb).

4)  Fog the motor with fogging oil.  With the motor running spray fogging oil in the carbs until the engine dies.  Remove the spark plugs and spray oil in the top of each cylinder.  Replace the plugs and turn the motor over by hand a few times to circulate the oil.

5)  If your sled is equipped with a battery it should be disconnected and it is best to remove it from the sled and put it on an automatic trickle charger to maintain the charge.  It is also a good idea to plug the exhaust pipe to prevent rodents or insects from getting in.  It is best to suspend the sled to remove the load from the springs and shocks, however, this is not essential.

6)  Spray down the engine compartment with a silicone lubricant like Bombardier Lube to prevent rust or seized parts.

7)  You may also want to renew your chaincase oil in the spring, we normally do that in the fall when prepping the sled for winter, but spring is just fine also.  The main thing is just to be sure it gets changed at least once a year with normal mileage.

If all of this sounds like it is more than you care to do or if you don't want to have your own supply of lubes and cleaners, then that is where the service techs at Petrie Motorsports come in.  We can do this complete procedure for you and it will only cost you $50 plus parts (w/o chaincase).  If you need any other repairs or service we can take care of it all at the same time.  Give your sled a break - put it away right this year and you will be ahead of the game next fall!
