	loading up is when your oil clogs up the jets, causing a bog. Bruce Taylor 2004 ski-doo MXZX 440 1996 Ford Probe GT 1998 Volkswagen Jetta Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by NathanFrier I hear people talking about there sleds loading up when they sit at idle. what does this mean? People say use a jackstand to allow your sled to warm up before u go ride im wondering why? Ive always thought it was getting too much gas, rich and it fouls it out and bogs, maybe not necessarily foul but make it bog on take off? Not 100% on that. But the jack stand thing is most likley for people with cold blooded sleds, they need to let it warm up nice and good. So once the cylinders are warm to touch, then you start giving it some throttle, like full throttle and let go and they do that.. Kinda like that do at the snow cross races if you ever been to one of those, they do that. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by NathanFrier how does having it on a jackstand prevent that? Im not sure that prevents it, did someone say it does? I would guess its only prevented if your revving the sled up so its not just idling, thats usually what they use the stands for. BUT the tracks usually spin slowly if on a stand, so that could be part of it, not sure. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	jack stands are fine if you live in really cold areas but were we live at sleds tend to load up ,,meaning extra gas extra oil ,collects in the engine ,exhaust ,and you need to clean it out ,hopefully before it fouls a plug ,some diesels do the same thing ,unburnt fuel will run out the exhaust when they are idling ,and smoke whitest till the thing is warmed up fully and all the excess fuel is burned mid Il alway's waiting for snow,moving north(way north)2001 thundercat 99xcr 800 97SPX ULTRA 96 zrt 600&800,92 doo plusX 92 v max 4 750 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I use a track stand to help warm the belt and track up a little before taking off, also obviously helps warm the engine up a bid without the extra load of being on the ground. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
