95 ski doo formula 500. O cleaned carbs and fresh gas and blew out old fuel in fuel lines. Now I can't get fuel back into the lines even when I put gas in spark plugs and fire it up ten times in a row

Hi
Can anyone help me with a picture of the kill switch to this machine? I'm having a problem with the kill switch connected to the body. Can't seem to get it connected right.
No spark

Thanks

Looking for a good used sled to take me and friend ice fishing

Howdy, new member here, just joined.

This year I've decided to do some research on snowmobiles with hopes of finding one that fits my needs later this winter or even at the end of the season. Would like to find something used in about a $3000-$3500 range.

I live in Denver suburbs and frequently head up to the high country to go ice fishing. Would like to find a sled that's not too heavy, has a seat for a passenger, some good storage, has good power and does relatively well in deeper snow as well as on patches of hard ice. I don't plan on racing up the steep mountain face or bang through the snow filled ditches. I want a comfortable, dependable relatively light sled that can get me to my fishing spots and back without drama. I think I'd like the Reverse feature, because I'm pretty new to this. Electric start would be a plus but not a must for me. Probably a 2 stroke to start with. Something that is pretty easy on the fuel and has good low range power.

I'm not loyal to any brand at the moment. I've looked at some ads on local Craigslist and liked the esthetics of this Yamaha Venture.

Also, this touring Polaris looks like a pretty good sled, though it's showing some signs of neglect.

I've seen some snowmobiles on trail today with 2up setup and Wide Track - looks like that would be a useful feature to have for deeper snow on the lake.

Looking for some recommendations on Brands and Models to look for. Thx in advance - James

Hello from Denver, CO

Howdy - a new member here. I'm looking to venture into the snowmobile world this year, maybe at the end of the season. Love outdoors, and there are plenty of trails here in CO to ride and explore. Will use snowmobile primarily for ice fishing and some trail riding on weekend too.

Hoping my wife will want to ride with me, I know my 12yr old daughter will... :)

Anyway, I'm here because I need your help deciding what's the right sled for me and how to find a good one (and know when I found a bad one) as I plan to buy a good used machine.

Hope to chat with you later - have fun this winter season! :)

New sled

So after the last two years of having issues with my old 99 RMK I'm starting to wonder if I should cut my losses and try to find something else. Now don't get me wrong, I love that sled. It's just, with all the work I've done and money I've spent it's getting old having to always do something to it. I did a complete engine rebuild (if you see my other posts you'll understand my frustrations). I went from the stock 136 to a 151. Did a lot of modifications to personalize it and make it how I wanted. I guess it's disappointing that it seems like I don't get nearly enough enjoyment out of it for all the time and effort I've put in. I realize that it's an old sled. I get that so I'm not saying it should be perfect by any means. I kinda think now it might have been better to just save up for something new rather than put it into mine, but oh well. So my question is for everybody that has an opinion or input (I'm sure everyone will) and honestly I'm curious what everyone's opinion is. I'm not trying to start a war or get everybody to brand bash, I see enough of that on Facebook. Let's say I'm looking to buy a sled that's anywhere from brand new to around 5 years old. I'm curious what you guys would recommend. I'm a mountain rider so kinda keep that in mind. I'd like to stay with the 151, 154, whatever is available that way, I don't need anything longer than that. Engine wise I'm seeing 600s and 800s so I guess that's kinda what you get. I've been a Polaris fan for a long time. My dad has 2 that have never let us down. My 98 RMK was amazing. Did things I wasn't sure it would. Kept up with brand new PRO-RMKs and Arctic Cats. I'm open to explore the options of the other brands just don't know them. I've ridden a few Arctic Cats but the older one I had was nothing but a money pit. Pretty sure I spent twice what I bought it for to fix it in the 2 years I had it. Kind of worry's me about a new one. Never ridden any Ski Doos. I know lots of people who ride the PRO-RMKs and a lot of people that ride the newer Arctic Cats. Of course they all love what they have and bash other brands. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you were a salesman and I told you I'm looking for something what would you recommend and why? What's so special about the engine, ride, technology, etc? Why should I choose that sled. Sorry for the long post and thank you for your input

Need some help

So anyone else extend their risers on the handlebars and then have that space between the bars and base that the steering neck comes out of? I forgot to even compensate for this space that will be created. To try and keep snow and possible water out of this area I need to come up with something that can fill in this space. If you have any suggestions and pics of what you came up with please let me know. I was thinking maybe some pipe insulation would work since its round and easy to work with may work but the diameter is an issue. I would need something about 4 inches around to take up most of the space. I don't know if there is a new handlebar cover that I can buy that extends down to the base.

Thanks
