78 LF operating temp
I had my 78 CC 340 LF out today for the first real test and was wondering if anyone has ever had a LF run slightly on the warm side in powdery snow? I have a aftermarket temp guage and it was reading upto about 160-170 maybe 180. I cked it with a laser temp gun and its correct. It was a workout for the 340 as 45mph was all it could muster in the 12" powder. it was running good otherwise, on hard pack it will do 60mph plus.

Re: 78 LF operating temp
Dustin, when in deep snow, the temp will be up higher than normal since you are working it hard. I was out today in 6 to 8 inches of groomed powder with normal temp of around 140.

Re: 78 LF operating temp
Thats what I figured, just never have seen the temp climb like that, don't have powder like this much. The 340 has more power than I thought it would
