'00 summit track skips sometimes

so i finally managed to get a sensible ride on my sled and ive knodesed that if you pin it in powder/loose snow or you pin it and she hooks in shell skip on the track sprokets 5 or 6 times then hook in, im shure it probobly just the track wants to be tightened up but i wanted to know if anything else would cause this because the track dosnt look that loose when you lift the skidoo up also the track is brand new and the sprockets look in great shape...how tight should the track be as in how far should it be hanging down from the slides when you pick her up ive been told about an 1 1/4" hanging down but that was for a 121" track and my skidoo has a 136"

P.S. i have been reading around and there should be a proper spec of how mught weight and ho much sag with that weight on the track but i have no idea what that is any help would be appreaceated

Question

ok im pretty shure now that the track is the problem after a short ride it was hangin down about 1.75"...its a brand new track with about 100 - 200 km on it so it must have streached and i have also figured out that i should hang a 16lb weight on the track to check the the tension but i dont know how much space should be between the track and the hifax with that weight on there...
