Took the sled out for the first time this year, it is a Ski doo ’98 700 triple. I had the sled off the trailer in Oct and everything seemed fine. However, when I went to take the sled off the trailer I could not get the clutch to engage. I could get it up to about 4K RPMs but that is as far as it would go. I had no tools with me so I took it to the shop and the guy came out and looked at it and could not see anything wrong with it either. So I just griped the clutch and tried to wiggle it back and forth, then I started the sled and it ran great……what gives?!?!?!?!?
Thanks,
Dave

I'd remove and clean the clutch now before snow flies again!

how hard is this to do? Do you think it is just dirty?
Thanks for the help!!

Very easy! Check the engine section, how-to's...There is a link in there I think.
