That's a great maintenance video! I never get tired of watching your maintenance vids that's why I subscribed. I do love the Arctic Cat Rotary sled looks pretty awesome to see great inventions still running. I loved working on my 92T2LT with my uncle as my mentor.😁
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for doing your videos! You have helped me so much and inspired me to do stuff I didn't think I would. I've now built a mod 1999 polaris rmk 700, and now I am rebuilding a blown up 2012 arctic cat snopro 800. Love what you do!
Thanks Louie! I’m always shopping for and looking to restore one (or more) of these old beauties, so anything Tundra, Skandic, & Alpine are invaluable to me. You guys are the best and I’m really enjoying Rolling Up My Sleeves too!
Really, reallllly appreciate these videos. Just brought my '82 Citation 3500 out from 8yrs of storage and went for a boot! Inspired me to do some early spring shopping and picked up a '97 MXZ583 & '99 MXZ600, both in perfect condition....now you're showing me how to maintain them! Cheers!
Get the REV build going! I started watching you when i got my old Rev 600. Years ago. My son and I did a full rebuild,vents,long track etc. Miss that content!
Been away for a little while.. glad to come back and see some good old fashion sled work. Every time I see you work on the little sleds.. it makes me want to buy one lol a Elan.. Tundra.. indy light gt long track... just some thing to go out and have some fun on... not a big muscle sled... but I want one of them too lol I thought it would be cool to find a smaller sled for me a Indy Light GT long track.. and take the 340cc fanner out and do some fabbing to fit a 325 or 335 oil cooled ATV motor in... just to say I have done it and see how it runs as basic trail sled or utility sled... Keep up the good videos guys
Great content! a lot of guys need this stuff. also when you show the little secret things that only a long term sled head would know it really helps people not screw up!
Hello from Finland! And thanks for the great video! I would ask is there any rear shock to suggest as replacement as originals or parts are really hard to find. Thanks!!
I need some advice. I just replaced the front left painter spring (coil suspension spring) on my Tundra. The part of the spring that sits up under the chassis is in position, but how do I get that other end of the spring up over the black nylon block?
Great stuff .thanks for posting. Im wondering if theres any good companies that sells parts for 1st generation tundra. I own a 1990, its currently in Pemberton. I found it under a tarp at a auto scrap yard in Squamish. Bought it and found out its Eric Peyota's old sled.
Hey man love your videos! Quick question here what would be, according to your experiences, the best utility sled between a tundra or a skandic both from the early 2000's era?
The skandic for big loads, the tundra for reliability - if you dont know how the skandic was maintained it could be a basket case - the transmissions often go on them and pricey to fix
Great video At forty two minutes and twenty two seconds you mentioned the steering being loose . I have the same machine and same amount of play. How would I fix that ? Thank you for your time will subscribe
Love the tutorial on regular maint.you forgot to mention to check the rubber boot condition for cracks from carb to intake because it can cause lean air condition causing ur motor to sieze.the other boot to air box not as important.also i wanted to ask about that brass piece that sticks in center of carb that holds main jet.on my mikuni i got the main jet out it was clean all way thru but when i tryed to knock center brass out it started to bend the u shape out a bit,i gave up on removing and got it back to original shape mostly.do you think i screwd this carb now?? The center piece started to move down some so i reversed direction and got it mostly back to original hieght.is it imperative to get that out for cleaning as long as main jet is clear????also i need training on these fuel pumps there routing ,how they work and is there a way to test ur motors provinding enough suction to fuel pump to activate it.???? Im having fuel delivery problem just got a used 94 polaris indy 440 for 350.00 seems in fair shape.but we just got snow but i got no go.bottle fed runs fine.thanks!!!snooky pa.😜🤪🤟👍🤟💥💯💥
ok on the fuel pump there are little arrows to tell you the direction of fuel flow from the tank to the engine. for the carb if presses from the bottom of the carb up and out the top, it sound go in and out fairly easily.
Hey snowmobiling will always be a big part of my life for transportation.I own a 94 Skidoo Safari Rally E 503cc fan cooled twin .Runs awesome I paid a fella $1000 for it . Tracks decent shape and has cargo parcel carrier that came with it .Has working guages . I put new spark plugs in er plus checked all the fuel lines they aren’t dried up or cracked . My Safari has the reverse gear . 1994 Safari Rally E . I even tracked down a factory shop manual for it plus a new tail light housing I installed on er . Was wondering if you have any leads on anyone that has 94 Skidoo Safari stuff ? I was told the sled goes about 40 km top speed . somehow I don’t believe that . Still late summer so I don’t have snow to try it but I plan on getting a trail permit to run on the trails in New Brunswick . I’m thinking my sled might go 40 Mph ? Checked the bearings and lubed all the suspension parts . I’ve got a snowmobile track lift lever tool plus the dollies to maneuver my sled around the garage .
Another awesome videos brought to us by The PowerModz Team! Maybe the Tundra has so much pow'r it blew the strap off the airbox? The stickers had to add at least another 10 to 15 HP.
I have a question. Can older sleds like the tundra interchange with others? I have a 92 tundra that is all stock and I believe it has a 250 in it. I was wanting to put a newer suspension and track on it but one that will raise the rear end and stick a longer tunnel and track on it.
Great Video! I just got the same sled. Having trouble with it dying while riding it like it's running out of fuel then will have a hard time restarting, needing to prime it more than I should. Why would it have a hard time getting fuel?
I had a speckled floor like that and when I dropped small bolts etc. on the floor it made it real hard to find again, I didn’t do that in my new place.
Hey louie I have a 02 mxz 800 renegade I'm pretty handy I do all my own work. Always have ... but I am having a idle problem it idles around 25 to 3 and it u blip the choke it ll go down to 15 to 17 where it should I cleaned carbs power valves every thing I could think of any ideas what it would b ... it has a dpm to sometimes it idles fine others not.
Hey what brand fuel line do you use or recommend for these old sleds i find it hard to find a good quality fuel line these days and where do you get it from
Where you guys from i picked mine up for 200 bucks but i wanna ship i to you for maintenance since you seem to know the sled wayy better than i do. I have the tundra r but buddy who had it before me beat the hell out of it and its rough just did an oil pump delete and a whole new fuel system other than carb(cleaned) brand new piston and rings cause the oil pump failed and toasted the top end but i got alot of work to be done and just no time.
Yeah i guess i do have it pretty good i have to open up my chain case and clean it cause when i put it into reverse. It kinda squeals and im assuming the gear oil has never been changed and the tunnel is starting to rust through in some spots what do you think would be the best way to prevent/fix the rust should i just sand blast it then wield some small chunks of steel or another metal i currently dont know how to wield aluminum so thats out of the question for now and then im debating on if i should spray paint it black again or rock guard it any suggestions.
Your videos are always very helpful. Can you please tell me what diameter fuel line you use? And specify if it's inner or outer diameter. Thanks a bunch!
Just a little easier on the Blair Witch filming lol, hey, ever seen anything done with a 05 Pol, RMK 900? Got one that was garaged for over 8 years bumper is broken off (no hood attachment), got her cheap around 500 miles. All I was told and did run.
Привет! То, что Вы показали, это хорошо! Но это делает каждый мужик в России... Как на счет установки лепесткового клапана на впуск, настроенного выхлопа-резонатора, обратной топливной линии для сброса излишков топлива, как поменять звезды вала для установки трака с другими параметрами, как усилить раму у поперечной балки, чтобы она не лопнула, что сделать с задней подвеской для нужной жесткости и грузоподьемности, как сделать чтобы не гнуло вал натяжных роликов и т.д...?

Thanks Adam.
It’s nice to see you back to the Staples of it all. Fixing the old stuff. 👍❤️
I love the old stuff for sure.

Got those tundras run so good got a 1988 tundra just love it.
ya pretty amazing sleds.
Alawys great videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all!

Nice to see you working on the old sleds again love it
More to come!
Great video! I love working on the older stuff
Me too!
Hi, got a tundra from 98 just wondering how many pumps of grease you put on the suspention. Think its time to do a little maintance on mine soon.
I need some advice. I just replaced the front left painter spring (coil suspension spring) on my Tundra. The part of the spring that sits up under the chassis is in position, but how do I get that other end of the spring up over the black nylon block?

I'd love a Tundra R, but they are going for about $4500 now. Great sleds but the prices are crazy. Same for the Elans.
ya itll come down
I'd love to see a video of you replacing the belt on this sled if you get a chance. Thanks.
Will do
Glad to see you ditched that screw top plug for a proper solid top NGK. Great vid buddy.
Thanks for watching!

loll - i thought about it - the oil bottle say on there and had a strap over it.
This is so helpful just pick one up my self thanks
Whats the difference between tundra and tundra 2?
And what the fuil ratio should be is someone has done an oil tank delete.
For those of you who saw my comment and want to to 50:1 or 40:1 50:1 preferably
Does this sled have an oil pump delete? If so how is it done? Thanks! Have a 04 tundra r and thinking about doing it.
How often should the clutch be serviced or run it to death 99 Tundra R
Just like fresh snow...new content 💪❤
We need more of both!
There is also a grease nipple at the base of the steering
yes thats right!
Yes! Sleds again, finally. Live the vids louie. Greets from Stockholm.
Thanks John!
Is there a way to adjust the throttle cable?
it's always a good day when you drop an old sled video !!!
Thanks!
I am on a quest trying to find a CDI BOX. Would you happen to know where or who I could buy one from

You can but it takes a lot of work
Great Video! I just got the same sled. Having trouble with it dying while riding it like it's running out of fuel then will have a hard time restarting, needing to prime it more than I should. Why would it have a hard time getting fuel?
they do that - I hold mine wide open and pull starts right up.
How do you find those ultrasonic cleaners work? Compared to boiling them in vinegar or lemon water?
way better - its the ultrasonic vibrations that do the trick
I had a speckled floor like that and when I dropped small bolts etc. on the floor it made it real hard to find again, I didn’t do that in my new place.
Yes they are hard to see
Learned alot ,thanks guys great info,my great uncle gave me a tundra 2
Right on!
Hey louie I have a 02 mxz 800 renegade I'm pretty handy I do all my own work.

yup thats fine - they way they all are, it just runs a little lean until you choke it...my 800 did the same - no big deal.
Is that the 144 iqr skid up on the shelf ? Would it be for sale
Yes
I need one of them tundras for my sugarbush...what would pay for an older sled like that?
they cost quite a bit now, wait till the spring
love the vids guys keep up the great work 👍
Thanks 👍
Hey what brand fuel line do you use or recommend for these old sleds i find it hard to find a good quality fuel line these days and where do you get it from
Tygon
Perfect! I'm looking to buy one of these
You should!
@@PowerModzOfficial I will, as soon as I find one with reverse that doesn't cost $5000!
Hi Louis, where do you get your parts? Like the fuel lines, spark plug caps, Chain case gasket. Thanks
Most of those are available at any dealer - or cdn tire/napa etc. Chaincase gasket from skidoo.
Where you guys from i picked mine up for 200 bucks but i wanna ship i to you for maintenance since you seem to know the sled wayy better than i do. I have the tundra r but buddy who had it before me beat the hell out of it and its rough just did an oil pump delete and a whole new fuel system other than carb(cleaned) brand new piston and rings cause the oil pump failed and toasted the top end but i got alot of work to be done and just no time.
We are in Ottawa, sounds like you have it running well!

Just made a deal on a 94 LT 2 with probably less than 1000 miles.
Your videos are always very helpful. Can you please tell me what diameter fuel line you use? And specify if it's inner or outer diameter. Thanks a bunch!
Hmm, I think it was 1/4...but honestly I just grabbed a pile of it and used it...
I’m getting some arcing on my exhaust pipe, if anyone knows what is going on I would appreciate the help. Thanks
One for buying one of selling killed me man 😅. Awesome vid guys👍
lol thanks Troy
Love the OV cap. great video boys.
Thanks Matt!
grease the secondary shaft?
Careful when driving out the float pin. You should support the tower as I have seen them break.
ya wasn't in there too tight but I hear ya
Just a little easier on the Blair Witch filming lol, hey, ever seen anything done with a 05 Pol, RMK 900? Got one that was garaged for over 8 years bumper is broken off (no hood attachment), got her cheap around 500 miles. All I was told and did run.
ya hes a little shaky lol. nothing with the 900 sorry
Content idea: a video of the tools you find essential to fix 90% of the most common jobs, aswell as more nische tools for more specific purposes

12:38 you know how many times I've said this to myself taking apart an old carb?
lol
Do you run ATF with your chain oil ?
no I run gear lube and sometimes a little grease to refresh the seals
I saw when you had the machine running your head light was not on
the ignition switch was unplugged
My lights and reverse don't work can you help me
Check fuses, grounds, and voltage regulator
Hey good video love seeing the old iron
Many thanks!
Great video, Nice Ski doo, what year is it? And how much are those nice stickers?
I think it's a 94, I'm all out of stickers!
I'd like to put a few on my pickup truck.
love the vids! im lookin for an exhaust for my 05 if you wanna get rid of that extra one id buy it off ya!
I dont think its the right one for you - and I have another one to build up! You can still find them.
Nice job Louie
Great like always Luie 👍👍
thanks!
Liked the video but wish you showed how to remove that belt
Ill show that soon for ya
@@PowerModzOfficial i manned up and figured it out. First snowmobile its a little bit of a learning curve. Appreciate you
love your videos man
Hey thanks for watching!
nice to see you working och snowmobile
More to come!
need more videos like this and upload videos sooner guys
I try!
Some room for improvement on the lighting/audio/camera steadiness. Enjoy the videos, keep them coming!
Working on it!
Just the ticket, thanks.
Louie holds a carb like a doctor holds a vital organ
Ive held vital organs....
@@PowerModzOfficial definitely don't want to drop either on the floor!
lol, right to the frying pan!
Like have the same one 1994 tundra 2
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
You don't usually see a Tundra with a Comet Duster on it.
I know eh.
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@PowerModzOfficial I love the old sleds better than new ones. They are more fun
Welcome to A group again this time will try to keep you
Lol nice to be back!
Congrat also
Running on one cylinder ha ha!
People want $4500 for an old used Tundra in Muskoka Ontario, crazy
Totally crazy
everyone loves tundras
oh ya!
Nice video but it still sounds like its running on one cylinder.
I know - cant figure it out.....
someone put on a 250 tundra pipe
Exactly
Wont start good rebuild
carb idle adjustment....gotta start it at low setting or the sled takes off....but thanks for watching!
I agree you need better lighting and a camera man wow.
lol, everything costs money boys! That building cost me a lot - but itll come.
LOL It's the right pipe but they never line up. Mine's stock and it doesn't exactly line up.
Jeeez boys. Cameraman looks like he has the DT’s. Lots of shaking. 😂
lol, well best we could do!
