Happy New Year! Still waiting on snow to finish the sled up!

January 3rd, and only a dusting of snow on the ground.  So many items to check or adjust on the sled, but I need the snow to do it.........

- The engine needs to be ran for some time to verify the oil pump is feeding fuel to the engine (currently I have a 50:1 mix in the tank)

- Verify that coolant is actually pumping through the rails

- Verify clutch/belt engagement: During my one and only ride since getting the sled together the engine rpms were quite high before the belt engage.  I cleaned the primary and secondary sheaves with a scotch brite pad, and replaced the drive belt.
