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.

Finally, it's running!

Before I get to it running, I will summarize how I cleaned the injectors.  
1.  I set them in a prescription pill bottle filled with injector cleaner.  I put tape around the top so the screens were just below the fluid.
2. Took a 12 volt motorcycle battery, clipped alligator clips to the injector, and briefly cycled each  injector 5 or 6 times
3.  Blew them off. 

The screens were now clean so I assumed the rest was.  

Put the injectors back in the sled, dumped in fresh fuel, primed the pump, then crossed my fingers!

It started after about 10 pulls, then quit.  I pulled it another 4 times, then it started and kept running! YES!.  I shut it off after a minute, waited about 5 minutes, then tried again.  It started on the first pull, and I did the same thing 6 times in a row, starting first pull each time!

So, now, besides waiting for snow, I need to double check all my connections, put the hood back on, double-check all the fluid levels, and give it a test run when I can!
