KRaken update off with the fly wheel!




With a Bit of heat and it was off with the fly wheel!












Looks like the stator has a chip on stator the coating i guess abit of liquid electrical tape will do the trick?










The fly wheel looks dirty and greasey
the magnets need a good cleaning!
used what ever i had laying around..

[sledrat]

THE STATOR IS STARTING TO WORRY ME seeing its cracked on the coating,!!! never seen a motorcycle style stator in a snowmobile before!

[sledrat]

URGENT UPDATE !!!!

Glad to announce THE KRAKEN SLED has spark!

it wont be long now! BEFORE THE RESURECTION!







CLeaned this up with a bit of steel wool.



Added a bit of liquid electrical tape to where the stator coating was chipped away and i let it dry !

THEN ..... Put back on the starter cup had to figure out the spacers in between the housing and the cup! GRRRRR took a bit of thinking on that,,since i wasnt the one who tiook it apart in the first place..





Put the fly wheel back on and cup and checked for SPARK!!

YEP GOT SPARK LOTS OF LIFE!

SINGING to myself "
OH MY OH MY THE GREAT KRAKEN sled
WILL LIVE!!
Through the snow it will go!!
jiggy jiggu jig jig!

NExt

on to the carb had to take it off should have did this at first,,got it off now its soaking in a butter tub of gas as we speak..

soon to be blowed out with air!

[Corcan1]

lookin good!

That carb looks the same as off my old 33hp johnson outboard!
Yea, i remember my dad's old Evinrude Norseman skidoo, it used a power pack, kinda like a CDI in todays world.

Make her run.

[sledrat]

well after yanking the carb apart its a lil different from what im use to working on mostly tilly and mikuni ..
but this carb looks to be very well designed made well!...
I bet they did use these carbs on a old outboards aswell good point!
Any HOW...
Got the tooth brush out and the carb cleaner and some plain ole gas...to clean the the carb out it was real dirty..
but cleaned up not bad,,,


In the mean time i inspected the plugs and the noticed the plug boots are close to be not useable...
damaged from something?? What wouldcause this ;D

[sledrat]

TUNED UP THE OLD KRAKEN EVENRUDE SLED YESTERDAY Because it STARTING TO MELT like crazy out there !
SO i Took it out for A lil BOOT and it RAN NOT BAD!
Went to load it off a snowbank on a make shift sled ramp i built. ..
.BUT BOY OH BOY I GOT STUCK BAD!!!
I Went off the intended track,,, and RIGHT into the WAIST HIGH STICKY HEAVY SLUSHY POWDER!! OH BOY NEVER BEEN THAT STUCK YET!!..
.A few days before that i took a few runs up the ramp with the old elan to pack it down so when it froze i could use it for even bigger sleds if i wanted..
Its alraight but a guy has to stay on the old tracks if HE CAN HA!
THAT OLD EVENRUDE IS SO HEAVY !!
WHEN I was stuck i decided to TIE A ROPE TO THE FRONT CHROME BUMPER AND TRY TO DRAG IT OUT WITH THE Old YOTA 4x4!
NOPE THE KRAKEN BROKE THE ROPE..
I HAD TO SHOVEL IT OUT! AND CRAWL it out
i mean CRAWL it OUT SLOWLY ,,,NO SPINNING OR YOU just start SINKing,,,
FINALLY I got it loaded into the YOTA 4x4
but the YOTA I CAN TELL HATEs IT
HA!

[jiggyjoe]

those big old Evenrude sleds are way better on the hard pack
thats forsure!
