Hey everyone, new to these forums and also sleds. I just picked up a sled to play around with knowing it needs a little here and there but overall starts right up. What I know is it's a 2001 that was a 500 originally and now has an 800 in it. I'm curious to know exactly what the sled is for looking up parts for the track, chassis, etc. Also, maybe any ideas what the motor came out of as I do know it needs a new seal for one of the power valves (forgive me I don't know what Polaris calls them, I come from a world of Seadoo jetskis where we call them RAVE valves)
Next question is the air box was a hack job, they cut the whole front out, clamped two funnels cut in half to the carbs, and stuffed the box full of foam. Was an 800 ever available in this chassis that would allow me to find the correct airbox to bolt up? The previous owner says that the carbs were the same on the 500 and that the fitment issues came from the carb boots having the incorrect angle since they weren't meant for an 800. I find it hard to believe a motor that's 300cc larger would share the same carbs as it's smaller counterpart but like I said, I'm the new one here. Any truth to this?
Any help is appreciated!
Here's a couple pictures:
