Hi all I have two older sleds from the late 1970s one is Everest the other is a Oly 440 , What i have been wondering is what would be the best temperature to use my old sleds in?
Or does it really matter that much?
beside all that i Cant wait for the SNOW!

i find when the temperature hits around -15 to -20 the old sleds seem to run dang good! with a layer of fresh powder of course
But thats just me..

Running a sled when it is warmer wont burn a engine down. It will just foul plugs cause of being rich. Most sleds are set from the factory to run best around 20 degrees.

Well i have nothing but trouble running sleds in warm weather!
Everthing from headgaskets going to melted pistons,,Slides melting hard on belts and more!
so i will have to disagree...
I would rather run em in the cold hands down here!.
And its a old sled thats even worse they dont like the warm.

Yukon are running Liquid cooled sleds? With no snow and its warm out or something?
I wouldnt see a air cooled sled motor melting down that quickly..
I could see in warm weather might see fouled plugs and such...But i agree on one thing
I dont like running my sleds in warm either really all sloppy over flow conditions..
Other than that i dont think it hurts em to much ,,As doubleclutch stated,.,
