We talk all things snowmobiling. We both started riding in the mid 70's and have seen some amazing changes. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out.

How about the present from @fordnation? All ON’s trails will reopen! It says snowmobiling has a positive impact on the economy. It would be fantastic to see other provinces follow. @WabKinew Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/tIdYob_jSGs

What about that present from Doug Ford? All of ON’s last year’s trails will be able to reopen! This type of action says snowmobiling has a positive impact on the economy. It would be fantastic to see other provinces follow this lead. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com

The Ontario government makes a huge contribution to snowmobiling. Were hoping more provinces follow this lead. Should vintage sleds see a trail pass discount? Vintage snowmobiling is a fast-growing part of the riding season. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com

We finished a preseason inspection on this Sabre Cat today. Found some loose suspension bolts and changed the sliders. Winter goes faster when your hand's on the throttle. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

What were they thinking? Let’s steal some sleds and pretend we’re James Bond. The worst part, these were Canadians. We should know better. Click on a link below to enjoy the full episode. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

Many people think replacing needles and seats are enough. A few add a new o-ring, but very few look at the floats. They can be a big part of your problem. In the big picture they are a small part of ensuring you have a great riding season. youtu.be/EML-0lnHIas?si=i1ug… via @YouTube

Our lives would have been dull without Jimmy. He taught us the value of tying down your cargo and never leaving your sled stuck in slush overnight. The adventures continue. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

Finished this MXZ 500 motor today. The valve supplied by the customer was wrong, so I trimmed it to match the original. Then set valve and ignition timing timing. It's ready to go! Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

The myth of “Barn Finds” are they real or just folklore? What makes something a quality barn find vs someone’s scrap? We’d love to hear from you about this one. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

Make this Christmas season one to remember because of the trails you discovered! Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

Can you imagine an argument about who’s more reliable Skidoo or Polaris. Are barn finds a myth? There might be some junk in barns, but a true barn find must have some value. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/qCsgJEBkl8M

Having a coffee and working on sleds. Remember, we sell parts too! Winter goes faster when your hands on the throttle. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/xjGu9DuzPTg

You own a 90's Polaris, and no matter what you do it just makes noise and won't reverse. Check your chain retention bracket. This one was worn out and allowed the chain to slip on the Chain Pinon Gear. I cut out the worn section and welded in a patch. The reverse works great now!

We revisit our interview with Terris Baran from Safety Services MB we cover things that were missed off camera. We’re still kicking ourselves for missing that part of the conversation. Click on a link below to enjoy the full episode. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com

Many already know this but some won't. Screws on Mikuni float bowls aren't Phillips, they are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). If you're using Phillips try JIS it's a game changer. Sled Talk Podcast: sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk on YouTube: youtu.be/xjGu9DuzPTg

I change a lot of floats. I'm told they last forever, just change the o-ring and go. The o-ring isn't the only problem. Old floats hit the top of the bowl before they put enough pressure on the needle, new ones don't. sledtalk.buzzsprout.com

When Rob says Indian snowmobiles he’s wishing another manufacturer would appear for some variety and competition. We think it’s positive. Allowing them to focus on the core business. @PolarisInc Sled Talk Podcast sledtalk.buzzsprout.com Sled Talk YouTube youtu.be/xjGu9DuzPTg
