Thanks to Mikey (ie bringing over his tools), I was able to pull my motor and fuel tank, then begin the teardown of the motor. Yes, we did pull the ever-crucial stator which we believe is fried. It did look pretty sketchy... and is safely on it's way to Quebec via the USPS to be repaired. It's going to take a while to get there the way I shipped it, but i'm glad in a way, because I need time to get the rest of the stuff done on my sled.
Anyways, tonight I took some pictures of the garage after the teardown (parts everywhere) and before me starting the massive cleaning job. I never knew my sled could be so filthy. I have been through two cans of degreaser and probably need more. Pic 1 is of my garage setup, pic 2 is of my beautiful bench being put to use (thank you Tony and Danny), pic 3 is of my engine compartment of the sled... very dirty, pic 4 is my dirty motor, and lastly; pic 5 is of one of my cylinders. Let me tell you one thing, $35/gal oil is well worth it. You can literally still see the cross-hatch in my cylinders after x amount of hours/miles by the previous owner and well over a thousand hard miles from me last year.
Enjoy!
