Hi everyone im kinda new the snowmobiling Im in just about in all the others, my main stuff is dirtbiking/atvs. I got my first sled the other day its a skidoo escapade 503 haha still trying to get it to run but its getting there, no spark so I took a guess at it and ordered a new coil. Just wondering how are these sleds performance wise I know its not going to set any land speed records but I want to be able to keep up with my freinds indy 400 and 500

.

Thanks John

They are geared pretty steeply, kinda slow, but should keep up on the trails. I'm guessing the coil won't do it, it's the CDI, but hopefully you're right!

got It running today turns out nothing was wrong there is a tether switch on it and there was nothing pressing it down so it didnt run haha, Runs real strong though bogs alittle down low but picks up nicely not bad for free.

thanx for being so welcoming haha, Anyone know where i could find a pair of skis for this thing there pretty messed up with a bad landing I think the skis would probably rip off lol.

A low speed bog can be an indication of dirty clutches.

Those took a special ski. Go to the misc parts section of this forum, then click on "parts links". There are a bunch of aftermarket links there.

Welcome to the forum, good luck with the sled. Try getting the carbs cleaned and in sync, a set of plugs I bet she'll run like a doo

jjjcost · 11-01-2007, 09:49 PM

Oh yeah I cleaned them day 1 before it even ran they were pretty bad alot of the jets were cloged, Haha even with the links it doesnt look to good to find ski's for this thing.

What does this ski look like? I have a bunch of diff. sets in my garage.

**smallengineguy** · 11-02-2007, 06:58 AM

There is one company in my books that sells them. I can get you the info if you want, you're going to spend about $150 for the pair.

jjjcost · 11-04-2007, 10:26 PM

I would really apreciate if you could get me that info

. Haha its pretty funny this sled does wheelies.

$184 for the pair. Comes with both skis and the mounts for your sleds. Does NOT come with runners! I can get them for you via PayPal if you want.
