Is there a check valve in the oil line?
Got the call, seized PTO piston, no oil!

in my journey i noticed my oil line leading to my pto cyl was bone dry and my mag side was full. I tried the tipping the sled on its side but did nothing.Just made a mess of oil in my belly pan.To much oil in the tank.lol So plan B. I got some wire.Made a loop in it fired up the sled and pulled the pump leaver over to full untill i got oil. It took like 7 to 8 sec for the line to fill. 7 to 8 sec wide open on the trail could have did some damage.It takes a coulple of mins to do it. Also dont forget to have your cab close to the sled with it pluged into the main harness. The owners book says not run your sled with it unpluged.It may cause electrical damage!

Good thinking! Was getting to run mine with the lever pulled. Never would have thought about the plug

Th PTO oil supply line is an upside "U", so, it can be more prone to air pockets.. It can also get kinked very easy and no way to see it.. Kind of a bad placement location.. I think once the line gets full, it should stay air free.. at least I hope so..

Fasttoys does not have the best reputation in the sales department. Do not know about the service department, but have first hand experiance in the sales department ( as well as some friends ) as do you. My bad experience was on a $15,000 cash deal. Kind of a no brainer concidering I was not shopping around on price.

I little help for yo guys. We ahve noticed two sled s now that look like there are no bubbles in the lines but after the hood is off and closer inspection, the small line to the air intake one was dry and the other barely had any. the fix for this was to pull hood and leave the main electrical connector connected and reach the pil pump lever(check lines are set properly) and pull it wide open until the line fills fully and the bitch smokes like a bitch while running. After that run it and you will see it runs properly now. Check these as for some reason they are not pulling oil up past these if there is air pockets in the line(stops there). i will bet you that Hootches sled was just like this and due to the fact there was little oil in the tank it went! Bad service pdi is teh culprit as they did not know what to look for on a new style sled. The old ones used to get the bubble on the left side of the motor. New problem!!

How do you pull the oil lever up with out the throttle going wide open? Mine has bubbles on the pto side

It had 3 gallons in it, and the dealer swore up and down they put 2 cups of apv oil directly in the tank! and as you could see from the pic there was no apv in that. Fuel smaple!

Too bad you have to discuss this between 2 dealers and not the one you bought it from. Hopefully it is made right before the snow gets good.

Oh it is fastoys is being exceptionally cool and have exceeded every expectation! I will def be for making it known to them when I pick up the sled how much j appreciate what they've done! I go the extra mile for those that do the same!

Ok. Maybe it wise to add two cups, whatever dealer says. Hope you got it running asp.
even if it only had 1 oz of oil in it it would tint light blue/green or whatever, that gas pulled in the pic had zero oil in it.

Is it possible to pull the oil lever up with out the throttle going open? I know it was on my 900. Seems linked on this 800

Finally had a chance to look. Yes, there is a solid link between the throttle bodies and the oil pump BUT it only pushes on the oil pump input lever (or whatever you call it). When you close the throttle the spring return on the oil pump shaft returns the pump to the 'idle' position. The solid link just pulls away at that point. It can only push but can't pull. If you rig up a wire and come in from the clutch side you could pull the oil pump open at idle. Keep the hood plugged in though and watch that you stay away from the primary clutch! And don't burn your hands on the pipe! And don't run with scissors!

Wonder if ill survive this !!!

If we don't hear from you again we'll know what happened! Lol
On my buddies Poo Pro last year he had the same issue with the air bubbles? He figured out if you take a pin and heat it up and poke a small hole in the rubber on your oil tank cap the bubbles will all come out of the line by themselves ( All of his came out over night and never had them again) I already did this to my new Pro also, just another thing to fight the bubbles.
