Scandic 800 SWT High Voltlage Leak

High voltage leak, a breakdown in the insulation on the spark plug wire or the insulation on the plug itself.  It could run okay until you increase the throttle.  The additional air/fuel mix in the cylinders raises the resistance to the spark plug gap.  If there is any breakdown in the insulation anywhere, it could allow conduction to a ground instead of thru the plug.  
Thanks Dave for the above info.   I will pass it on to Bryan tonight on the SBX.

Scandic 800 SWT Injectors??? Chip cord and Dime

Bryan changed the Fuel Line assembly and it made no difference to the Scandic's performance.  He says it is slightly missing.  Also the machine used to push ahead when you gave it more gas.  Now he says it just goes at one speed.  He thinks it might need new injectors.  
Now here's an interesting thing to know.  Steve has a Scandic 800 SWT.  He had to park it and so he took out the chip cord and put it in his pocket.  When he returned he put the chip back onto the machine and the silly thing would not start.  He fooled around for a couple of hours trying to fiqure it out.  By chance he looked into the chip cord end and there was a dime from his pocket.  His machine started right up.  
Once again we ask you to vote for Lea's stamp. Push the 5th Red Heart and it will say THANK YOU  

Scandic 800 SWT Crankcase Vent Improved Routing

Tom gave us this great link ....  when your Scandic 800 SWT tips over and can not be righted real quick the oil runs out and you can blow up your engine.  This link shows you how you can prevent that happening.

There is Sun Out There.

Bryan found the Sun and was so impressed he stopped took a picture and had a coffee in it.   Up in the high Walkers Valley and down on the Sutlahine there is sun for 4 hours a day.  
Vikki has gotten out the bottle of Vitamin D supplement and both will start to take it all winter long.  We were worried at first about the lack of sunlight making a depressed mind but it has only happened a couple of times to Vikki when she is stuck in the cabin for a couple of months.  Soon she will be out on the trap line each day with Bryan.
