So its that time! Just wanted to ask all of you: If you were to list five tasks that you think are absolutely imperative to "summerizing" an 05 EFI AC what would they be??? Thanx fellas (additional items that arent so important always good to hear, Im gonna have ALOT of time this weekend!!)

fog the motor, buy a can of it and spray it in the carb boot while th sled is running.

put stabill in the gas or run it dry.

loosen the track and put your sled on a stand.

take of the belt.

grease the rear suspension and all other zerks.

Um...OK....I thought it had a battery, like almost all the other EFI's...I don't know if your comment was serious or not, but if it was, relax, I made a freakin' mistake. Didn't know you were a sled expert.

You might want to put the flux cap on the charger though.

How do you loosen the track?

skidoo_magoo · 05-01-2005, 04:48 PM

track tensioner. if cats are like skidoo's, they should be on the back of the rails.

loosen the the rear idler wheel bolts, then there will be a bolt right in front of the idler wheels, loosen the lock nut and then loosen the bolts. do this to both sides. then retighten the idler bolts.

Never wouldve expected a simple mistake from u like that being the almighty tech guy on here thats why... At any rate thanx for the help guys, all good advice I hope! Its been like ten years since Ive had to summerize I wasnt sure if anything had changed. Im suprised noone suggests cleaning the APV's or does fogging help take care of that???

how many miles and what do you run for oil. you probly wont have to clean them yet. also check the chain case oil.

Arctic · 05-02-2005, 05:21 PM

is it extremly important to loosen the track?

sesnopro · 05-02-2005, 06:21 PM

it helps

I run AC synthetic and I put on like 1K this year. Im not to sure I need to check teh chaincase on this sled since it doesnt have one but now Im wondering if I do need to change that gear oil in the Diamond drive, also and this might sound silly but I looked at the owners manual on this sled, and there doesnt appear to be anything to grease on the Jackshaft is this true? (I knew id forget something, GRRRRRRRR)!!

sesnopro · 05-03-2005, 06:41 PM

when you start up the sled you will be able to hear the power valves cycle 3 times, if they dont they need to be cleaned. after next season you might want think about cleaning them.

you probly want to check the oil cuz they are pretty strick about the oil levels on dd drives.

your sled has no jackshaft, the only zerks on your sled are on the rear suspension and the front suspension spindles/stearing assembly.
