just want to see if i could get a little insight from somebody on this. my cousin dropped his sleds off for me to service/work on. one is an 03 summit highmark 700. last winter, he was riding in feb and the recoil broke. there is a small plastic piece inside that melted causing it to fail.
when we went to cooke city in march, it happened again. same piece melted. we ran uptown and luckily they had one. put it in and it worked fine. the last morning when we packed up and were heading to the parking lot, it happened again.
the only thing i can think of is that the heat of the aftermarket can is melting this plastic part. now, i can understand why it happened in march because it was in the 50's while we were there. february, not so sure. he said it wasn't that warm out. and he has been riding this sled with the can since he bought it new in 03.
one other thing, his gauges and headlight don't work. he took the hood off a couple years ago in the spring and they haven't worked since. my next thought was MAYBE something with the stator??? could this be creating excessive heat and melting the part in the recoil and have something to do with the electronics not working? i doubt it, but i have been wrong before.
