Thanks for the suggestions for my RTV bogging out problem. Looks like there is something in the tank, clogging the filter really quick. Cant imagine what got in there, but its there. Now, gotta fix it. Some of you have replaced the fuel tank with a better one, (for the fuel cap). How is the tank...

Fuel Cap huh? My fuel cap is a piece of SH....T. I hve heard of the problems associated with the fuel cap. andmine is bad. I have to use a HUGE set of channel locks to open it, and remove it. Like the threads are not even CLOSE to matching. This is my biggest complaint, so foar, with the...

Thanks for the replies. I think there were some good suggestions i havent tried.. (1) Checking for air leak in the fuel line. Could be this. I DID service the filter, so thats possible. Ill go check when it warms up. (2)Water in the fuel. Never had this in all my experiences , but there is a...

Yes, good place to check, but ive long ago removed the spark arrestor, and have banged out the air filter.

Anyone experience a bogging down from their RTV? It's symptoms are it idles fine, but when put in gear, it starts out fine, then it seems the fuel flow stops, or damn near, and it stumbles all over itself, then gets a shot of fuel and goes, only to bog down again. I thought i had it fixed by...

Great to hear. Very intrested in how it works in testing. Jeff

Altitude compensation is what im looking for. Not sure what a Sea Level RTV feels like, but id sure like to.. 8500 ft here at the house. Jeff

Has anyone purchaced/installed a turbo kit from anyone for the RTV900? Im thinking seriously about the one that SWAG, in Bayfield, CO has listed.. OR, is there another source? Just want some real feedback, if there is any. Jeff, Gunnison, Colorado

There are floor sealers that contain "grip grit" in them. The problem for most is the floor needs to be extremely clean (concrete) for it it take good, and last. Larger stores will have it. Jeff

It is a Curtis Plow.. 3rd season plowing with it, but not a ton of hrs. Id say "normal" use. RTV has 155 hrs on it. The RTV has picked up power after 100 hrs for sure, as it broke in? I did change the oils 2wice now, with the Super Fluid (cant quite remember the name of the cold weather oil...

The heather is filled with kerosine. Better than diesel for sure, but, its still a little nasty. I dont run it long. Just enough to warm the place back up after the big doors have been opened for a bit. Always below 0 here, so i can take a bit of the fumes now and then. The ceilings are 14', so...

repairing in the new shop.

plowing like usual, but the banks are getting big now, and the lil kubota plow set up just snapped in half while pushing snow with the plow fully angled to the right.. Had to drag the broken unit into the shop for repairs. I reinforced it, and its good as new, for now. What i need is a snowblade...

I plow with the Curtis also on my RTV. I mangled, bent, restrightened, reinstalled many times, and finally just took them off. The blade bounces on the hard-packed snow layer now, and it does a good job. Before the snow is perminantly on the ground , the blade may dig into the dirt without the...
