Hello all! First off I wanted to say that I just joined this forum and am looking forward to reading through the wealth of information here. I hope this is an appropriate place to post about an issue I am having with my 2000 Polaris indy classic (500cc, LC Twin).
I recently went to move this snowmobile onto a trailer that I just acquired. It started up on the first pull and was idling beautifully! Well, long story short, I let it idle for 10-15 minutes while I was messing around with the trailer, and when I walked back to it the light was on for high engine temp. I shut the snowmobile off, and let it cool down (It did seem hot...but not excessively so), and then could not get it started again...
I tried new plugs, checked the spark (it was fine), added more gas to tank (just in case), checked all the fluids/coolant (they were fine), tried spraying some Starter Fluid into the plug holes prior to pulling it over, etc. It doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere from the engine itself. It still sounds the same as it always does, and it turns over normally. It just will not start. The last thing I did was check compression... My compression tester read 90PSI on each cylinder. Not sure if that is accurate or if my tester is not reading correctly since both sides were identical. The only other thing that I noticed was that the spark plugs seemed to stay pretty dry despite my numerous attempts to pull start it.
Any ideas on what may have happened and/or what I can try to get this issue resolved? I'm hoping that I didn't inadvertently fry something... but I am pretty worried that I might have. :dunno:
