    Phazer mod sleds

    Reviewing the differences in the clutches from year to year, I confirmed I have an older style YPZ Primary Clutch(narrow belt) and the 1993 newer style Secondary(wide belt). The previous owner installed a Gates belt that doesn't match Narrow or Wide belt Phazers.....They clearly had no clue...

    Phazer mod sleds

    Got the secondary apart. Only one button was found floating around in between the spring! Other two were MIA. Helix had some scars, but it all sanded out nicely. The helix was stuck on the splines and buildup around the circumference made engaging tough or impossible. Ordering three new...

    Phazer mod sleds

    Went back and forth on getting a newer style primary clutch. Either way I'd probably end up buying parts to freshen them up, so I went with buying parts for the one I have. Sourced parts on eBay and Partzilla. $185 taxed and shipped. Checking out the Secondary next.

    Phazer mod sleds

    Got the Primary and secondary clutches out.... I have a pre 1993 primary in my 1993 sled. Learning Yamaha stuff everyday over here. Primary was extremely dirty(two ultrasonic baths with new water and finally clean!). All three rollers had their bushing completely eroded! The weights had the...

    5oz Silver at spot price

    The depression was a city thing. One of my grandmas lived on a farm, and they had no issues during the 30s. WWII was worse.

    5oz Silver at spot price

    It only matters if you have that metal in your POSSESSION, you know like at home. Owning metals somewhere else is about as good bathroom wallpaper when $hit hits the fan. My grandpa kept gold bars for this very reason. The USA has Cheese stock piles for centuries. I hope you like cheese.

    Phazer mod sleds

    Sled was pulling through 55 doing 60+ last night, no gurgles. On the way back my speed cable fell off the meter hookup... lol Pushed it back on. I still feel like there is more power to be had up top. I'm going to get it on the lake this weekend where I know it pulled 70s. Thinking about...

    Phazer mod sleds

    With my crusty skid and the old carbs it had a hard time pulling 60s on the trail last year. On the ice it was pulling 70+ no problem. My mains were so fat I couldn't hold it open without it getting gurgly. I'm about to head out and try the 145 mains.

    Phazer mod sleds

    Got the sled out yesterday on the trail for a bit. It drives so much better than it ever did! The previous owner installed a rear drop lift, to make it look "cool". I took that off since it messes with the pressure on the skis, as well as the way the skid reacts. Kids these days. I had a...

    Running two strokes in in cold water

    How many pissers and pump pickups were/are you running? Water doesn't conduct heat very well, so it would be hard to tell with cold water and that many pissers flowing. Did you check the engine temps or just the water temps?
