  1. Advertising themselves as open has nothing to do with the trails, actually, in at least 3 spots on there posts they've commented saying this does not mean trails are open and to follow what OFSC releases on trail availability
  2. You can trailer up there and ride off the OFSC closed trails. Them being open does not = A103 being open. Would you be upset if Shell posted they were open here in Guelph even though trails around here are closed?
  3. This, I’m quite interested but have no idea what everyone’s talking about
  4. Buddy’s mom was up there and said Perry sound had a few feet of snow, Not sure how accurate that really is but apparently she got her suv stuck…
  5. While I dont want either of them, itll be much worst under either, its maybe what "we" as Ontario residents need. Apparently the majority of people need their lives destroyed before they wake up and say enough.
  6. Eliminate enough pawns and you get to the King though.
  7. Update, I never got the sled going and missed all of last season. Had no intentions of buying another sled this year after last but ended up giving into temptation and buying a 96 Formula Z, 583. Hopefully it runs better then the last sled. Patiently waiting for snow now.
  8. Im running a 5.0 2012 F150, I just bought my first enclosed trailer (homemade) so it will be interesting to see the fuel difference. Im running 16L/100 KM as is no trailer. With it im going to guess itll be over 20, but it didnt seem to use much more when I pulled it the 100 km I did today. Little slower acceleration but thats to be expected, also, it was empty, so that also plays a big part.
  9. My intentions was to fog it, but I got deployed on 4 days notice, which left me having to move out of my place, so the sled went to hunt camp, I had the guys start er monthly while I was away. So i did some quick research, and said it was good if I just started it monthly.
  10. No, but I started the sled monthly and let it run to keep its from seizing, which I read up on online and they said if it was started monthly that was good for it? I also used fuel stabilizer, and he put all new gas in. Hopefully wasnt something I did, but hed already put some KM on it before it happened...
  11. My buddy just got back to me, he took my old FIII 600 out for the second ride of the season for him and blew the engine up. Hes not sure what is messed up but looks like I would have run into issues either way. Hes hoping just a top end. Engine died and seized, he got it unseized by playing with the clutch by hand, and then restarted, after 100 yards started making a sound. Either way id be having engine issue it seems. Gotta learn one way or another
  12. Tried WIFI, VPN to Toronto, Data, everything. says not available in my country or region.
  13. Clicked it and it says its not available in my country or region (Peterborough Ontario) weird.
  14. Cant find it on App Store (Iphone) is it named something other then OFSC Trail guide?
  15. I had a FIII 600 last year, but only used it for ice fishing, put less then 200 km on it. This year will be my first year actually riding. (Hopefully lol)
  16. I live in Peterborough, so around that area. Never ridden the trails before so this is really my first year getting into snowmobiling.
  17. Its more so I really want to ride and if I dont learn how to fix this there wont be any riding lol, cause a 94 with a blown bottom is worth about the price of scrap it seems. Dont worry, I tried selling it (Making sure people knew the bottom end was making a noise, not into screwing people like I got screwed) and was offered 300$ lol. So i said hell, worst case I mess it up and its worth pretty much the same lol.
  18. I dont plan to crack the "new" bottom end as I have no idea whats in there/how to do it, but I will be replacing the out crank seal, as its easy to get to.
  19. Ive worked on some stuff but never in depth and never alone. This will be my first kick at the can per say. I havent got the engine out, but there was definitely a sound coming from bottom end, confirmed by a certified BPR technician, the sleds not worth enough to employ him at 75$ an hour to look at it, so I bought a bottom end that looked good, no play no sounds etc, to replace it with. My buddy was a car mechanic, so when ever I make it over his way, I plan to bring the old bottom end and the top end from the engine I bought (no pistons etc and top end had low compression, so not a complete motor by any means) and take it apart/find out what was wrong. Then we may try and rebuilt the engine with parts we can find/ what I have. We shall see. My main focus is getting this sled working, as its what Ive got and no money for another, so I make it work or I dont ride lol.
  20. Honestly I spoke with my buddy and we both agreed, the cost of having a mechanic, him, do it, out weights how much the sleds worth. The way it sits its worth nothing, so I am going to take it apart and do it myself, for at the very least, the learning experience and to know how it works. If it works out great, if it doesnt, well, the extra 200$ i spent on a bottom end was worth the knowledge I should get out of it. The cylinders are showing 150 PSI each, which is pretty much new, my buddy thinks someone did a top end then didnt check bottom, and then sold it when they realized bottom end was screwed. I dont want to sink more cash into this sled as its just not worth it, its a 94 grand touring, so cost to redo anything more puts it over what its worth.
  21. Yep, I hope to have it ready to go by end of this weekend. Would hate to be on the trail and it goes, ive never trail ridden before, so I want to enjoy it not worry about breaking down the whole time.
  22. Turns out the bottom end on my sled is toast, either a bearing, crank, etc, had a knocking sound that my buddy picked up, so I took it to another guy I know whos a skidoo mechanic, and he confirmed something in the bottom end was screwed. So I guess I am going to learn how to take an engine out, I bought another bottom end that I plan to swap my top end (which is still good) onto. Although I did get all the maintenance done this weekend before finding that out lol, so like, at least thats out of the way LOL
  23. Hey guys! This is my second year owning a snowmobile but I am still an amateur with no knowledge of them. I bought a turn key formula 3 600 last season for a steal, and sold it to my buddy this fall (I was stupid) regretted it the first snowfall, and so I went out and grabbed a 94 grand touring SE 670. Now the bad: It was hard to start, I believe this was due to buddy not having the gas on the start, and once realizing his mistake, he only pulled the primer out twice, after a while it started but it died after letting off the throttle, he tried again and it fired and stayed running perfectly. I checked and there was only fumes left for gas, and the gas was from last year. I am thinking if I remove the plugs and swap, remove the old gas and put new premium in, clean the RAVE valves, and replace the chain case oil it should go. Now, how hard is changing the chain case oil on these machines and whats the likely hood that I screw it up taking the chain case cover off. I really dont wanna bugger my machine so I was thinking maybe best to try and suck it out the fill port (Somehow?) RAVE valves look pretty easy to remove and clean after watching a video. Is there anything else that I should be looking out for? Thanks guys! Already bought my trail permit (Didnt trail ride last year just used it for ice fishing simcoe) so I am pumped to try out the trail riding side of things.
