Anyone know why my sled might be idling high, around 2500RPM? Changed the fuel filter and had the TPS adjusted by local shop this season. Sled runs perfect and doesnt skip a beat it simply just idles high. Anyone have an suggestions?

Crank seal, spray some starter fluid behind the clutch ans see if it changes it. Could be the mag side but usually the PTO side.
Sometimes yes, more randomly it goes down normally then a controlled blip of the throttle
And check the weld around the EGT bung on the pipe.
Turns out its the crank seal it idles down for a couple seconds when you spray behind the clutch. How hard is it to change can I leave the motor in the sled pop the clutch off and do it right there or is it a bigger job?
Im assuming the risk I run by running the sled is leaning out and melting my motor, or seizing the crank?

The case must be split so you would want to take the engine out. Fairly simple to do though. Ya, if it is leaking bad enough it will cause damage.

It can be a bit time consuming, expect one evening to tear it down and one to rebuild it.
I wouldn't tear it all down and not replace both crank seals, water pump gasket, injector orings and piston rings while you have it all a part.
Picked up both seals and water pump gasket. Ill do a top end this summer if I end up keeping that sled for next season thats not a issue with the motor in the sled
How many miles on this?
