hello, looking for some guidance! I’m relatively new to snowmobiling and need some help.
we recently purchased a 2021 RMK Evo with about 1000 miles on it. The sled is super clean and has no signs of issues or mistreatment. I’ve also kept in good communication with the person that sold it to me and he has been very helpful , trying to answer all my questions. He states that the sled was in perfect order the last time it was ridden.
After we purchased it, the machine instantly had an issue. after riding it, the screen would start to flicker. In addition, when you put it in reverse, it would stall out. The flickering seems to have gotten worse over the last few weeks, and sometimes while riding, the screen is completely off. After a few minutes of riding it, and you come to a stop, you are at risk for it to stall. So needless to say, we're not using it.
in addition to the screen flickering, the headlights and tail lights would also dim. This seemed like a very good indicator to a voltage regulator issue, so we replaced that. No fix. We also tried swapping in a new CDI, which did not solve the problem.
not sure where to go from here. The stator? Throttle position sensor? My gut tells me that there’s a loose ground or bad connection somewhere. I read that in some of the earlier model machines, the reverse switch cluster often fails. I might look into that. The tail light was also broken, which I fixed. perhaps there’s a crimped wire at that harness.
anyways, I’ll take any help I can get! Thanks in advance!!
