How Much Mechanical Sympathy Do You Have?
What type of fuel do you run?
1. Purple gas is 10 cents cheaper, bro!
2. VP Racing C12 to prevent detonation
3. E85 works just fine, I don't see what the big problem is
4. As specified in my operator's manual, 91 octane
How do you store your sled?
1. Covered, in an open shed
2. In a field. Hey man, squirrels need somewhere to live too
3. Only six months 'til riding season, it can stay in the back of the truck
4. Heated shop kept at exactly 19˚C and 45% humidity
5. I built a little tent out of some 2x4s and a tarp
How does your maintenance schedule look?
1. When something breaks, I fix it promptly
2. That's the next guy's problem once I roll back the odometer and flog it on Mountain Sledder Swapmeet
3. Say what? Come again?
4. The OEM suggested maintenance schedule isn't nearly comprehensive enough! I've personally torqued every nut and bolt on my sled
5. I dunno, I pay my dealer good $$ to take care of that for me
What type of oil do you use?
1. Your snowmobile OEM brand
2. Whatever's on sale at Lordco
3. A premium synthetic from an aftermarket brand
4. The cheapest shit you can find at the gas station
What do you carry for tools?
1. I have a guy who carries my tools for me (aka you are Chris Burandt)
2. I have a customized toolkit I put together myself
3. Bolt cutters and something to scratch the VIN off
4. Only what came with the sled
5. A tow strap and the number for the helicopter company
At the trailhead, you:
1. Flash your sled up and immediately tear ass up the trail at 120
2. Let your sled idle for 20 minutes while you get ready
3. Bring your sled up to the manufacturer suggested operating temp
4. Smash yesterday's ice off the tunnel with a tire iron
What's your stance on parts and accesssories?
1. I just love my OEMs PG&A catalog! It's got everything I need!
2. I named my kids "Carbon Fiber" and "Titanium"
3. Lightweight mods from the aftermarket are the way to go, and they're often cheaper than OEM replacement parts
4. Zip-ties will fix pretty much anything!
Trees are:
1. I stare at them and they call to me, but I will not be intimidated
2. When I go to the arcade, I only play pinball
3. For traction
4. To be avoided at all costs
