My Arctic cat 580 never overheated once but my RMK 800 is good for two miles on frozen spring roads before it goes into its limp mode when hot. I"ve bled the system of all air but the problem is no snow on the heat exchangers. I don't want to go the touring or work sled route since they weigh a ton and are not as fun. They are probably better suited for towing though. Jim, what type of sleds are you running?

I began pulling skiers behind my sleds in the early 80's so yes, I have abused them. I guess its time to build another garage.

But yeah, we were talking about covering up the skis, so I think we'll do that too. Man, I wish we just had a garage for this thing. I was keeping it in the garage during the winter, but need the room for automotive projects in the summer. he he, always looking for an upgrade!

I'd suggest covering your skis as well...if not, at least give them a healthy coat of 303 protectant for the season. Unless, of course, you're looking for a good reason to upgrade to some Generation II Simmons flexi-skis www.flexi-ski.com for next season! -Ken Lou – Something to remember is that UV rays do bad things to plastic with increased exposure.

He also said to place some Decon in there as well as the other chemistry. Anything but having your wiring harness eaten, or a rat nesting in your air filter box.
