Fine line... There is a theory I work with but still have no proof of it. The fact the 2 cycle oil for snowmobiles is typically got a pour point to -50*F which also has a enhanced PPD (pour point depressant added) this is so oil injection system don't gell up in a snowmobile. So now if you mix -50*F pour point 2 cycle oil and -20*F pour point diesel would you expect a change in pour point? Kind of like knowing that fresh water freezes at +32*F but mix in a unknown solution of salt water and the freeze point is reduced. The only time this is not true is Synthetic 2 cycle oils since none of them have any parafin wax so they have no need for PPD to be used. So I can say that 2 cycle oil WILL NOT cause gelling issues but it might help in keeping it flowing.What really neat is the PPD that used in diesel is the same PPD used in some 2 cycle oils (petroleum).

Actually once you get to know it is not bad. Water freezes at 0 water boils at 100 and -40 is friggin cold no matter where you are!

I have 2 of these bracket kits new in box. Bought them years ago with intent to manufacture them since they were to be discontinued. I have not done it. $60 each shipped to USA. Thats below my cost. I do not have a use for them.

I think your time/money would be better spent on making sure the fuel is properly treated, the heaters are there to fix a fuel issue. They are simply there as a backup and to help improve flow.

Michael has never had gelling issues with his, but I don't think that is from the 2 stroke. The 2 stroke doesn't have anything in it that would effect he parafins. His fuel is properly winterized from the pump since I don't believe he uses anything else in it.

The only thing I use distilled water in is my batteries. Never used distilled water in my cooling system on any vehicle including ATV's, motorcycles, etc. The only time I've ever seen mineral build up is when someone starts skipping flushes and allows the electrolysis to oxide the metals. Typically that when the coolant starts to change rusty color from oxidation that starts from a corrosive coolant. (hi or lo pH number) I actually agree with this. It could be possible...

Yes thats the adjustment bolt for the front band. 3/4 socket and T40 socket

Figured something fancy out so you guys can see. Only members can see this section so only members can see this link.. http://mapalist.com/Public/pm.aspx?mapid=404996 It works off a google docs spreadsheet which I can update, then click update on that map it updates from the google doc. Very slick. I need to see if I can somehow make it to where when you click on the pinpoint, it shows info but also a hyperlink to the thread that guy started so they can see more info. A lot of you have special instructions and stuff so it would be a good idea, I just have to keep playing with it.
