Hello
My snowmobiling club just got a 2001 BR275 Cummings Snow Cat 14’ wide w/tiller.
Sometimes the tiller won’t work at all on a trip out. Sometimes it will work great the whole night, just hard to get it started the first time (not sure what get it going).
Here is a few things we always check-
The tiller kill switch is up
Tried different RPM of the tiller
Always have the motor and fluid warmed up
We have tried moving forward, dropping the tiller in the same motion, no luck.
The auto float light will come on even if the tiller isn’t spinning
The direction light won’t come on when it’s not spinning
When it’s not working, it won’t work in rev either
It’s like it’s dead for some reason, like a failsafe, or something not sensing, or something is bad that won’t allow it to kick in.
All motion of the tiller, up down, pitch is fine too.
It just won’t spin???
Doubt that any of this is related-
The Hydrostatic Temperature switch never shows anything when I flip it
The auto center box on the tiller it’s self was replaced by Prinoth this fall.
Also we need to replace the side lights bulbs on the cat, under the cab.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
