If you are still riding, the snow is most likely hard packed which makes your sled heat up fast. The few people I know that still ride, have a dual ice scratcher set up to make the sled stay cool in those conditions. Even if you are not riding, it is a good idea to spend about $100 on a pair of ice scratchers. They are easy to install and will keep your sled cool. Your sled should run at about 118 to about 140 degrees. When the sled heats up to about 160 degrees, you need to stop the sled and throw snow on the back to make sure you don't blow the engine. You will only need these down when you are trail riding or most the time during spring.
If you are serious about spring riding and ride till even early may, you will need to have dual ice scratchers to keep the sled cool enough. You will have to mod your sled enough to put the second scratcher on. You also can buy scratchers that can go in reverse and not breaking which is nice.
