Where can I find out some more information on the slider system - pics???
dpaulson:
There is some pics here. http://www.northerntracks.com/forum/index.php?topic=283.0 I think it is more done in Quebec where the snowfall is generally greater than it is on the praries here. You are supposed to go through much deeper snow also. I think that the cleats should provide plenty of lubrication for the slides anywhere that you would have enough snow for decent steering. For myself being a newbie, I'm going to stick to tires for this year, but I would like to try sliders next winter. I'm still working the kinks out yet. I gotta pull the tranny as I have a seal leaking on the converter side.

I had since tightened up my tracks and performance is better. Loose tracks seem to rob some hp if allowed to ride up on the drive sprockets. I had read the proper tightness is to be able to lift the track 2" with about 50 lbs force.

..2 to 3 inches above the second tire from the front ...seems to work..

Well...went to tune up the 302...as it was missing a bit and lacked some power. Changed plugs, then wires, fuel filters and then cleaned the carb. Thought that would do the trick. Ran a bit better but not great. Pulled the plug wires on # 2 and 3 and found they were not firing. Rotor was ok as was the cap so they were getting spark. Ran compression on #3 and nothing. #2 was low...so thought either a broken rocker or I am suspecting a leaking head gasket between these 2 cylinders. Pulled valve cover and rocker arms are fine. Tomorrow we will pull the head and see if we are any wiser. Hope we don't see cylinder detonation. So much for going for a ride today!!
