soupkids Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Was out for a ride with canuck and his crew today. Went from chateau guy towards Chelmsford to get to kilarney. We where 10 miles or so away from lively on the D109 and my machine died. It will restart and run for a bit then die just like you hit the kill switch. I grabbed the pull cord just to see if there was compression in both cylinders and the handle plus a foot of cord came out. I have a funny feeling that when the cord broke both the remaining cord and spring got chewed up in the stator.

Minerals from water, will shorten life of all electronic components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 The damage is as I suspected. Recoil gremaded taking out the whole recoil housing. Stator, flywheel. Not expected to have it by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance the dealer had it off for some reason when they were going over the sled after it's swim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Possibly it was loose and caught on the running stator. Unwound and rewound the cord and broke it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Actually had that happen a couple of times.... years ago the TX 340, and last year the 03 Rev..... coincidentally when hooking up the seized 670 to the Cheyenne.... THAT could have been a "moment" .... 2 sleds on the same rope .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
