You can refer to your snowmobile’s parts manual for a full visual and diagram of snowmobile engine parts. At Canadian Tire, we have a selection of replacement snowmobile transmission and engine parts that include drive chains, exhaust springs, drive belts, exhaust ignition coils, and much more.
How does a snowmobile drivetrain work?
Power is transmitted through all the drivetrain parts before it reaches the snowmobile’s track. Then, the track will start to rotate and propel the snowmobile. The drivetrain consists of the crankshaft, primary clutch, drive belt, secondary clutch, jackshaft, chain case, driveshaft, track drivers, and track.
How do I get my snowmobile motor unstuck?
Spray or apply penetrating oil down the cylinder through the spark plug holes and let it sit for some time to penetrate. Gently tap the cylinder wall with a hammer to help the oil penetrate between the rings and the cylinder wall. Try rotating the crankshaft after letting the oil sit for a while.
What causes a snowmobile engine to seize?
A cold seizure could occur if you don’t let your machine warm up. When this happens, the heat of the compression causes the piston to expand faster than the cylinder, causing the piston to become stuck in the hole.
When should a snowmobile engine be rebuilt?
Rebuilding a snowmobile engine would mean that all the parts would have to be serviced. This will only be done if the engine is completely worn out.
