My sled is making a buzz sound when idling, coming from above my right foot, where the cooling fan is. Not sure if anyone else has run into this before.. I hand washed the sled one night, and let it to drip dry outside, -2'c night, sat outside for maybe 15 minute, and the next time i fired the sled up, i got this sound..


Makes me belive something went in the cooling fan, and the motor is trying to work?? but cant spin?


You can faintly hear it in the video.

Can't hear jack snit over exhaust. Can you spin the blade by hand?
 
if you listen carefully, you can hear the noise.. Its a repetitious noise, can hear it right away, and goes in 1 second intervals.

and yes, i can still spin the blades by hand.
 
not the reverse buzzer, already disconnected it, didnt make a difference.
 
So when the sled reaches the hi-temp it makes this noize ? or upon start-up?

Kinda sounds like someone is drummin after the sound?
 
The sound starts when i start the sled up.. Although, last night, i was out working on it, and plugged the fan, clean the connections, and when i fired the sled up, and tore accross my lake, the fan came on, and the noise stopped.. Im going to assume that was my issue.
