Tonight i went out for a rride on my snowmboile. I stoped to get my snowflap out of the track. Then i smelled something burning and looked up and saw flames under my hood. So i picked it up and start throwing as much snow on it for 15 minutes. I tryed packing it to smother the fire, i even used my helmet as a shovel, i closed the hood after packing snow on it to cut off air. Nothing would work! The flames where coming from around the carbs and quickly spread then there where even on the bottom of the sled. So i had no choice but to walk away while watching it burn. I heard other snowmobiles and there was like 8-10 of them. So i ran out to the end of the trail to catch them i was yelling as loud as i could and waving my arms. They where going way to fast and didn't even see me. So i called my cousin to come meet me with a quad so i could go get my truck and get it ou of the woods. I was walking out to meet her because she didn't know where i was. I was around a mile or mile and a half away. Then i heard a big boom that i am guessing was my fuel tank with $30 of gas around 10+ gallons exploding. It sound like someone set off fireworks. Then when we got back there there was basicly nothhing left but the remains where still burning.
So we put snow on them to put them out. Left it cool then i went and got my truck back through the groomed snowmobile trails. So them me, my friend, and dad lift what remained into the back on my truck which was the 3 cylinder engine and the front end. Then i shoveled all the melted parts into my bed. Throw snow on the area that was bare dirt. I had no insurance on it. It was a 97 EXT 600 triple. Then i headed for home with my tail between my legs.
I have the worst luck ever i had pics of it on fire with my cell phone. But i just droped it and cracked the screen and no i can't see them. Lets see what else as happened in the last 2 weeks. Yesterday i ahd 3 different people pull out in front of me. The wheel bearing went out in my truck, the airbag light came on in my truck, and the abs light. My quad axle broke, seals went out, and tie rod ends are bad. I bent the a arms and knocked the alignment out on my snowmobile. Well ebough talk heres the aftermath pictures.
