Living in the bush

     The most difficult part about living 'in the bush' is transportation.  The next three weeks is a fight between using a snowmobile or an ATV for travelling the roads.  Melting snow and exposed gravel is difficult for tracked machines.  But soft snow and hills, OMG hills, that's a killer.  How do you climb those ice walls with either a skidoo or Honda ATV.
     But, what about a machine that doesn't want to run.  For instance what if you have a skidoo that needs to be heated with propane in order to start, when it is cold.  It runs for a bit, sputters and dies.  But instantly starts up again, but only runs a few feet before stalling.  You 'ain't goin' anywhere.
    So, go to www.snowmobileforum.com and post a question.  What a great site.  Within a day several authorities are giving reasons.  Download an online manual and look for a solution.  Everything seems to focus on an ignition coil, difficult, or impossible to test, since many times it functions a low rpm, but fails at high rpm.  It's a guess.  But an expensive one.
    Okay, take it out of the machine.  Take it to a dealer and order another.  When it comes in, cross your fingers, since you have just paid $480 for a part that might not be the source of the problem.
    Well sometimes you have to get lucky.
