bought a 93 xlt special,just curious about a couple things?????what rpm should it idle at and when should the clutch grab the belt?right now i idle at between 1000 and 1500 and the clutch grabs around 4500 maybe 5000.....and i find at kind of darting around on the trail?my carbides are good.would plastic skis make a differance?thanks guys
:thumbsup:

To help the darting toe-out a little bit or get dual carbides. Don't worry most sleds dart on the trails. Plastic skis help with gliding in the powder, not darting on hard-pack!

Should idle at 1800 and engage anywhere between 2500-3000. Plastic skis are 10x better than steel skis, but if you're worried about darting around just fool around with the suspension and go with dual carbides.

thanks alot,i knew it was kind of normal but it seemed a bit more than ive seen before.i went for a good ride today and seemed better than the last few so ill give these skis a few more rides before i make a decision.any chance ud know how to back a brake cable off a bit?i appreciate it

They're mechanical, not hydraulic, right? Just loosen the nut on the cable right above the brake setup and either turn it out a couple turns then tighten it back down.
