If you are on the bleeding edge of the tune, it will be that much... shoot... my ms362 (nonmtronic) was last run at 80°F, fired it up last week at 40°F and it would bog right out when full throttle was applied, when it was 80 out, it was tuned in the cut with a buried 20" bar. Thats how much the oxygen levels in the ambient air can be...
Ben....we need to get you a PR guy to help screen your replies before you click that button. LOL
Our brother @dall has a low tolerance for silly mfers......and Ben is sorta like that too. All I can say is that we can all do better some days. What I don't want to see happen is for people to become offended and leave our forum......or have to ban anyone that ain't a scammer or a crook.
So are we now like the Greeks? We can't even go experiment to learn? I remember the joke of how one day the Greek philosophers were arguing over how many teeth a horse had. One of them mentioned counting on the horse standing outside. They threw him out of the school.
It's frustrating to have an ongoing conversation with those that need the most help yet remain steadfast in their incorrectness.
I appreciate that. You have a lot of good knowledge to share.
Good point.
I know Polaris liked to jet stuff way fat back in the 90’s through early 2000’s. Most could be dropped 1-2 sizes and still be ridden in all temperatures without worrying about burn down in real cold. My 97 xcf started to run way better on factory jets at -10 to -20 degrees.
I've had to either re-jet, or lower my dial in, or sometimes both as the cool night air moved in when I was bracket racing.
Trail running I was too lazy to drop jets so just dropped 2 sizes on my xcf and ran it for 10,000 miles that way. Rebuilt clutches snd couple sets of spark plugs and slides is all I did to it. Then at 10,000 miles I tore everything down and rebuilt it with a pair of bored out 488 trail jugs. Bored out 40 if I remember right put it at 510 cc but may was a little less. Cleaned the exhaust ports up and the lower transfers, cut heads 30 thousandths and put a higher rev clutch spring in new weights. Went pretty good for a fan cooled and ran with most piston port 500 liquids on cooler days. Sold it and bought a 2006 fusion 700 and still have it though it’s been sitting for years because of lack of snow and lack of time with young kids. Now kids are old and I should just make time to get it ready to ride again. Don’t ever see myself getting a new one ever again because of cost and limited use.
