The snowmobile club gets paid to groom by the state, that's essentially our whole business. We get that money once a week only, miss a week and the money is gone. The ASV is our smallest big groomer, it's 6 feet wide, and is notoriously hard to start. I've pondered the issue for two years with no chance to try any of my ideas.Well today the new ASV driver decided it's too cold, he doesn't want to kill his new batteries failing to start it. I had the day off and one of the other operators asked me to go check it out. Step one was to make sure the block heater works, my ir thermometer proved that. Step two was to install batteries, dual grp 49s. I spent as much time cleaning terminals as I did installing batteries.Step three was to try it and here's where Mr Cathey came in. I stuck my Harbor Freight heat gun in the air intake and cranked. After a few seconds it fired up. I don't know how to work the glow plugs work so I think this was mostly without them, guess I better learn... ;) Anyway, thanks to Jim for figuring out the heat gun trick and making me look smarter than I am!
