SKI DOO 2009 & 2012 REV XP RENEGADE 600 SNOWMOBILES - Sat 7 Years With Gas in Tanks!

- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Today we are working on a 2009 and a 2012 Ski-Doo Rev-XP Renegade Snowmobile. Both of them were stored in a trailer for 7 years and had nearly full gas tanks. We empty out the gas tanks, change the batteries, and clean the filters to get them running again.

You and your buddies dynamic make the video. 10/10
That’s me and my father in law👍
shake shake shake senora, shake your body fine👏🏽😆
thanks for the video reassured me. I'm about to do a start up on my 2010 600 E tech that sat for a long time with only 1200 km I think I'm ready to press the start button.
Great job! That steering column chuck looks challenging, but you guys did great. Those are great sleds and only low mileage too. I have an unheard of 24,000 miles on my 600 eTec without an engine rebuild. If you look after them, they last.
Good for you! We plan on looking after them for a very long time too👍
that is rare. I head many hit 30 000 km but you 38 400 km
Great job!! leaving Friday morning from Long Island heading up to Old Forge for a weekend of Snowmobiling!
I’m jealous! Hope you have a great time
Best video on the plastics removal! I just did this on my ‘09 MXZ eTec 600. You could popped out the dash for easier front plastics removal. Thanks for this!
Thank you!
Good evening Sir, you did an OUSTANDING PREVENTIVE maintenance for sure 👌🧐👍 I can smell skidoo exhaust 👍👌🥴 Cheers 👌👍🍻
Thank you!

For a few Northern dudes which have never worked on Sleds before; you did quite well. However, I would have certainly replaced the Fuel Filter on each machine. Those are WIX Filters and can be purchased at many local Auto Part stores for under $10. Simply remove the (2) Oetiker Clamps, replace the filter and install new clamps. Perhaps I will see you fellas on the Trails up around Old Forge and Inlet. I ride a 2011 Ski Doo XRS 800 Etec.
Good advice. Appreciate it! Maybe we will see you out there!
I would have thought the carborator jet would have been clogged with the old gas. Glad the snow machines started up so quickly.
Their fuel injected and I didn’t wanna touch anything if I didn’t have to! So glad it worked out OK. Lol
if snowmobile never was started with that bad gas how would it get clogged it was sitting for 7 years . last time it was started that gas was good gas .
@@funtyes1970 good point, but just covering the bases
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I live upstate NY and I used to work a lot in long Island 🏝 🏝 this was long time go . I use to installed spray booth for body shops most of are work was in Long Island and Queens and sometimes travel to Buffalo NY and i used to live way upstate Plattsburgh NY with my 2nd wife
@@funtyes1970 it’s a small world! we lived on Long Island too. Islip and Babylon towns all our lives until now👍Plattsburgh is cold…! Where are you now?
I believe I saw an Arctic Cat sticker on Ski Doo ??? That’s just wrong . Wow, the second one started right up after 7 years with just changing the fuel…. Awesome. Hope they work out well for you and keep running strong.
Yes, you saw Renata cat sticker. Someone put it on as a joke and we decided to just keep it there lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hmmm, its only been sitting 7 years and they were only 2 and 5 years old when you last used them. Why remove the tank to drain it? Even with 30 year old sleds I find that siphoning usually works just fine. I run 3 ZX chassis MXZs from 99 thru 03 and I just picked up an old 94 Mach 1. I am not removing the tank unless the tanks internal lines are rotted. Also, did you even consider rolling it over on its back and emptying the tank that way?
Those are really nice sleds to be sitting for so long. Why where they left sitting?
Due to a variety of reasons such as no snow for trails to be open, illness, injuries, etc. it’s amazing how quickly time can pass!
15:46 no way! I just got one the other day for $12. I change them every other year. There is an interchange number and you can get it at any auto parts usually I get it at napa.
I would be interested in a link please because when I was looking into it you had to buy the whole assembly because it has special clamps because of the high pressure and it was sold as one unit. These machines are fuel injected.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid also, if you’re concerned about the clamps you can install the same single ear crimp ones you just have to cut them off each time lol
wow them snowmobiles look almost brand new ..i think one sled is like 10 years and other sled is like 13 years old . i bet them sleds dont have many hours on them .
They’re in good shape for sure!
I was thinking that y’all could siphon the first one ?
Lol. If I’d only tried that first😂
Yep, leaving gas in a tank for that many years, turns into quite the cleanup job. That gas sure looked nasty and probably didn’t even smell like gas anymore.
You’re right! It didn’t smell right at all 👍
Wouldn't it be easier to pump out the old gas?
Why did they sit so long?
There was a few years of family illness, no snow, timing wrong etc.
disgusting how they made these machine so complicated,... for the love of revenue.
a lot of work for nothing, well I guess it made for a good video but you could have just syphoned out the tank and added fresh fuel, replace battery and everything would have been good lol
Living and learning! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
This helped me with an engine removal. Thanks!
Would have been a lot easier to drain and refill.
Should've just siphoned the gas and filled with fresh premo instead of pulling the tank.
