Your Yamaha 440ss only runs with choke on?
Clean your carburetor's main circuit. Your carburetor contains two "circuits." One is the main circuit, and it puts gas into the engine with the "choke" off. The other is the enrichment circuit, which puts more gas into the engine because a cold engine needs a richer fuel/air mixture than a warm one. If your engine only runs with the choke on, that means no gas is coming in via the main circuit, which means it's clogged. Clean that out good and it should fix the problem.
Are there any laws against snowmobiling across water?
Bodies of water - frozen water - are used for snowmobiling all the time. Snowmobiling across water becomes a legal issue when the body of water is on private property. Entering private property without the owner's permission is "trespassing" and laws are in place that can make it a criminal or a civil offense. While there are some specific exceptions to the laws, if No Trespassing signs are posted around an area to wish to access, honor the sign's warning and do not enter the property. Most public bodies of water are there for public use. Unless a posting specifically prohibits the use of snowmobiles, you have free access.
