Default Something weird happened plowing with my Arctic Cat

I have a huge driveway, over 500 yards long, plus a big parking lot. So, today was plowing up a storm, thinking how great my Heat Demon hand warmers were working and what a great job the 72" wide Cycle Country plow was doing. Almost finished, I noticed my wideband AEM was reading high A/F ratio and it was starting to sputter, I put the manual choke on, and it got better, at least I made it to the house. Was expecting something odd like carb icing up, or something complicated. Checked the K&N filter and carb, looked fine, then, it dawned on me, it was low on gas, What a moron! Arctic Cats have a large reserve, 2.5 gallons filled it to the brim.

That's called a "senior moment". I didn't think that happened to you younger folks.

I opened this thread thinking I was about to learn how you overhauled your CVT.

No wonder you forgot things because it was too fun to plow!

I'll be 66 in Feb and I worked around all kinds of nasty chemicals most of my life. Senior moment ? Is he Mexican? I might have 2 surviving brain cells left.

In my area we call them "brain farts" and they can happen at any age!
