Starter pull rope sticking

mercredi 31 janvier 2018

Hey all I recently picked up a 2005 Polaris 800 xc sp for tearing up around the property with the kids. Starts and runs great but the pull rope is super hard and sticks. Needs to be strung out and then yanked in spurts to get it extended. It still starts the machine but I’m worried it will just get worse. So how can I fix this? Do you think it sounds like a reel or spiral issue or sticking in the shaft? Thanks in advance.

Which sled is best?

Hi I know this topic probably comes up pretty often here but I have a few questions. Right now I’m torn between 2 different sleds. One is a 2015 Switchback Assault 800. It’s nicely dressed up with a jerry can, tunnel and handlebar bags, exhaust can, riser etc. This sled only has 100 km (practically brand new) The second sled I’m looking at is at a dealership and it’s a 2016 Switchback Assault 600 with no miles. They have old stock and they’re blowing them out. This one also has electric start. The 2016 at the dealership is also $2000 more (plus all the accessories) than the 2015 private deal.

My first question is how reliable the 2015 Polaris 800 is. I know Polaris hasn’t had a good reputation with the 800s but I’m wondering if it’s been cleared up by 2015 or not. This is probably the thing I’m most concerned with. I don’t want to spend more time in the shop than in the snow.

My second question is if the chassis or handling has changed much between the 2015 and the 2016. Both have Walker Evans shocks but the salesman at the dealership told me that the 2016 is more “flickable” and handles better overall. Not sure how much of that is true because I couldn’t find much online to back it up. To me they look like the same chassis.

I just want your overall opinions on which one would be the better buy. Thanks

Snowmobile movie?!

Hello!

When i was about 7 my uncle gave me a ripped cd with a snowmobile movie! I remeber watching that movie every single day almost, untill the cd had to many scratches.

And now that im 16 i want to see it again!

But the problem is that i dont know the name of the movie.
They were boondocking with snowmobiles from 2000 to 2004, that would be my best guess!

So thats why im asking for help!

I remember in the begining there was a "redneck" hauling a yamaha et340 or a ex440 (dont remeber), and he was hauling it on a trailer and a wheel fell off the trailer. So he ditches the trailer at the side of the road and lifts up the snowmobile on the trucks bed. It was a blue truck btw. And then he finds a place to drive and then do sick drops with that snowmobile!

Later on there was the introduction to the film with all the sponsors! I remeber there was a panoramic shot over the mountains and then the logo "ogio" was sprayed on with a special effect.
Thats all i remeber from the begining

At the end there was a hillclimb with old snowmobiles (were talking like 2002 rmk and edge x)
Could it be any Thunderstruck film or Sledneck?

Hopefully someone can understand my terrible english and how i described the movie!

Best regards// William

The picture is not from the movie i think.

Which Track?

I'm currently looking at replacing the stock track on my wifes sled. Its a 2001 ski-doo mxzx 600. We only ride trails and usually only put on about 500 miles in a year. I'm looking at the kimpex shotgun X or the composit Talon 32. I do have a budget so this is why I'm looking at these. I've read some pretty good stuff on both. I like the Shotgun because it has pre-mold holes for studs in the future if i go that route.
Who has run either? I'm looking for feedback on which to go with.


Which Track?

Turned off Choke and now it wont start

My 97 500 ZL has been running fine all season until the other day when I went to start it. Turned on full choke and gave it a yank and it fired right on up as usual. As I let it sit and warm up, I went to turn it to half choke where I accidentally turned the choke off completely, and it just slowly shut off the machine. Went to fire it up again with every combination of choke and it wouldn't start at all.


I'm still learning my way around an engine so you'll have to talk to me like i'm five.


Turned off Choke and now it wont start

Someone should have warned me!

mardi 30 janvier 2018

I've looked at all the warning stickers on the sled, and spent several hours one this site. No where does anyone say anything about catching a disease from riding sleds. Not one word! It's shameful, downright shameful. There I was, happy to have another variant of this disease related to tractors and motorbikes. Not one single person warned me that I could catch ANOTHER strain! Now I find myself searching for the next project sled, in addition to the next project tractor, atv, dirt bike etc. I think I may have ingested some 2 stroke oil or something! I've got maybe 25 miles total on the old sled and it seems my case may be terminal!
So now I'm going to start a few new support groups. I'll call the one for snowmobiles "sledaholics anonymous" or something. We meet as often as possible, in the shop. Bring beer if you can. And the worst part is, I'm pretty sure son caught it too...

2004 pro x2 title

I know this is a long shot, but worth a try. I bought this sled from a guy who bought it from a guy who never transferred the title. He told me all I had to do was call the state and they'd contact the last person who titled it and they could release the title. Kind of a pain but hey, it was cheap. I called the state and they said no way, I'd have to find the guy on my own which isn't possible. Is there anybody out there with a wrecked or blown up one I could buy for cheap so I'd have a title? Kind of a bummer not being able to ride any state land on it, confined to fields only

HELP :O 98 Powder Special bogging out and I cant figure out why!

I have a 98 Powder Special 600 EFI

Snowmobile is completely stock.

And here is the problem:

In a previous season, I lightly rolled it on hard snow; nothing was damaged EXCEPT a hard chunk of snow did manage to bust the handle bar kill switch. SO it has been unplugged and the sled ran fine for 2 seasons after that. (ive mentioned this to explain that i dont believe the problem below is a TSS problem)


This season however, I fired up the sled and headed off down a trail... it ran great like it always has, plenty of power, no monkeying in the RPMs or anything..... until about a 30minutes later while casually crossing a field, the throttle started cutting out like the sled was running out of fuel. BUT it wouldnt completely cut out. While cruising the sled would suddenly bog right down to practically an idle then all the sudden the sled had normal power again. Travel another 200m, then it would repeat, but sometimes during the process it would back fire.

So i managed to get her home, but the occurrence of this bogging kept increasing more and more to the point when I got her home, the sled would be lucky to travel 15 feet.

SO here are the symptoms:

-As far as I can tell, the sled is firing on 2 cylinders, even during the bogging.
-The sled almost always fires up within 2 pulls and idles normally
-The sled only bogs when enough throttle is applied to engage the belt and start moving the sled forward.
-While bogging, if the throttle is still applied, the sled will bog to the point of dying; and possibly backfire during the process..... BUT while bogging, If the throttle is released, the sled will return to a normal idle most of the time.
-During the rare circumstance that the throttle is applied and the sled moves forward without bogging, during this moment the sled will have 100% power potential, itl go as if normal, but usually only for about 75m before bogging again.

Heres wat ive looked into:

-It has fresh spark plugs, there usually dirty due to the bogging, but they still spark i believe
-The kill switch which i believe is part of the throttle safety circuit is un plugged
-The 2 intake disks in the gas tank dont appear to be plugged, but have been temporarily removed regardless encase their the problem
-I tested the fuel pump, and it appears to produce and excess of 60psi under 12v power
-The gas regulator has been removed, and blown out, after blowing it out, it appears to function at around 40psi, but it does look very old, and it may be sticking after being left alone for a while so idk.

What would u guys recommend ? the problems been a real head scratcher for me.

Any incite and solutions will be greatly appreciated :)

2010 IQ 800 Runs rough at low RPM

I have a 2010 IQ 800 with issues at low RPM. Sled starts and idles fine but lurches and runs rough up to about 25MPH. Runs fine at speeds above that.

I cleaned the exhaust valves, changed plugs and ran 2 different fuel system cleaners through it with no luck.

Took it to a Polaris dealer and they subbed in a new throttle position sensor with no luck. They've ordered a new kill switch to try that.

Any ideas? I was wondering if re-mapping might help? Or maybe replacing the throttle cable itself? If the kill switch doesn't do it I might just pick it up and ride it as-is the rest of the season and try again in the spring.

oil issues

I have a 1997 700sx and just put on 207 miles and used 7qts of oil. Boggy between 30-60mph. Would it be smart to just replace oil pump? My sled only has 1150 miles on it.

2002 Mountain Cat 600 EFI runs rich / boggy /no idle

Hi guys, looking for some help to try and get to the root cause of this ... sled starts after a few pulls when cold, sounds lethargic at idle, dies after a while. Runs boggy at all rpms, does not rev over 7000 rpm. Somestimes bogs down and dies altogether, esp if given more than v slight increase in throttle. Problem gets worse as it warms up. V hard to start when warm. Last time couldn't start it from warm, changed plugs though they weren't wet, but that helped as it started up on first pull. Always need slight throttle when starting from warm. Plugs black, tops of pistons looks black too when looking thru holes after pulling plugs. ECU showing 6 blinks which I believe is APV servo motor? Manual only lists ECU codes up to 5 blinks. Occasionally some backfiring when trying to start sled, esp from cold.
Have pulled and cleaned APVs, one was pretty hard to get out so thought might have been sticking, both v dirty with carbon and oil. Do not use any special kind of APV oil, just regular sled oil. Some screws were missing (again) from covers and on the one that was stuck, all the screws holding the valve unit in place had come undone ... also the one that was stuck, the wire had come unhooked from the servo motor!! Which may be why it was stuck, it was not in use ....
After all that, restarted sled, sounded initially better but same symptoms when warm after riding and ECU still showing 6 blinks on startup. We had tested sled with track raised up to make sure servo was working and could see it moving when got up to around 7000 - 8000 rpm. As said, cannot get over 7000 rpm when on trail. Also checked that cable lengths were the same and within spec. Was hard to get accurate measurement there though, does it matter if one cable is v slightly longer than the other? The amount of slack was supposed to bbe 34mm I think it was and one was 34 and the other was 33.6 after adjustment, had been 31.5.
Have been reading many threads here and elsewhere and it seems like there are so many things this could depend on, such as faulty APV servo motor (though we can see it is moving, could it be out of alignment? - We hooked the cables up in the same place and without rotating the motor, after APV cleaning), volt regulator, faulty temp sensor, faulty coolant sensor, stator, the ECU itself, TPS, TSS, smart valves, sled in "limp mode" for some reason .....
We checked the volt / ohm reading for the temp and coolant sensors but values were way off those listed in the manual? Volts were OK but ohms were a fraction of what they should be. Stator seemed OK. BTW lights shine v dimly when sled at idle, brighten up when rpms raised. Brake light does not work, though neither filament in the bulb is broken ... (rear light OK). So maybe volt regulator on the way out? But would that also cause rest of symptoms? Or do lights just shine dimly because of low idle?
Sorry for v long post, any ideas appreciated!

Idling Problem on a 95 Polaris classic 500

I recently bought a 95 Indy classic 500 and I cleaned the carbs out and when going to adjust the idle screws I turn them and the sled will idle down for a few secs and then go right back up to 3000 rpm and I can't get it to idle below that. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or ideas. This is a learning process for me so I could be missing a simple step. Thanks in advance!

Electrical Short Blowing CDI

I have read about people having electrical short issues that tend to blow a CDI. I worry about that with my sled. I have had two CDI's go out on me during a ride. Where would I look? I have just recently replaced the Stator thinking that this would most likely be the root of the problem. Are there other places that I should look before putting another CDI in this machine? Thoughts on how to narrow that down?

Also, is there anywhere to go to get a CDI rebuilt?

Please help with basic throttle thumb fatigue

vendredi 26 janvier 2018

I'm finally going to go ride a snowmobile in February :-) It will be a 2006 ski doo renegade 600sdi. Something I learned about earlier this evening that could be a significant consideration is throttle thumb fatigue. Using some sort of spring hand grip exercise device regularly for a month or more in advance would probably have been the best approach, but it's too late for that at this point. There are a number of things that look like they might be able to help though, like: Snobunje Throttle Flare, Thumbuddy Throttle Extender, MadDog GearATV Thumb Assist Control, Throttle Gizmo, CruiseMate, and probably others. It will be the sled a friend is letting me ride so there can be no drilling holes or any of that, but he said other people who ride very rarely have that same problem when they ride for an extended period of time. Can anyone suggest which if any of the above mentioned, or something not mentioned, could help me with this ride and be something I could leave with him to help other people in the future?

Thank you for any help with this!
David

1971 Arctic Cat Lynx Salsbury Clutch not engaging. Also, Fuel delivery Options.

mercredi 24 janvier 2018

Hey All. I have been working with my Grandpa on restoring his 71' Lynx. We just got the motor running. Unfortunately, It appears that no matter the RPMS the clutch will not close in on the belt. Do you guys have any recommendations? It was stored outside for years. I am going to try spraying it with penetrating oil and smacking it with a rubber mallet. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

Additionally. Do you guys know if you need a fuel filter(s) in the line from the carb to the gas tank? We have a screen and then a paper filter. I believe this may be disrupting the flow of gas.

Thank you so much!

New Member from Lake Superior

Hi everyone! We have great snow this year in northern Wisconsin and I can't keep my 1993 550 EFI Arctic Cat Pantera running. I've used it for several years ice fishing and trail grooming and always ran well. This year, it started up fine and ran for about 10 minutes before bogging down and quickly dying. Once it cools down a bit, it starts and runs for a few seconds before dying. It won't start at all if the engine is still hot. The battery tests OK and it is pumping fuel to the rail. I suspect some sort of electrical problem but don't know how to trouble shoot it other than checking the fuse link. Any suggestions?

1999 yahmaha venture

Alright. I’ll try and explain this best I can.


So, when I get to my sled everyday, the pullcord is hard to pull. Takes 10-12 pulls before i can pull it with ease and so it will come all the way out.

Yesterday I was driving my sled down the trail, and the sled bogged down and died on me.

I got it going again, with 3 pulls. (Usually takes half of one after its running)

So I go down the trail and it does the same thing.

I check the plugs, oil, everything is doing what it should.

I ride for the next 15 minutes good. It can go max speed, good rpm, sounds perfect.

I get it on the lake, and I go full throttle. But then the sled just Boggs down and dies.

Now the pull cord is harder to pull, won’t go all the way out.

The primary clutch spins freely still. A little tougher to turn. But it still spins freely.

I’m thinking the recoil let go?

I have electric start, but the battery is pouched. Going to put 12 volts on my sled tonight to see if that gets it going.

Anyone have any advice on what it could be? Thanks!!!

74 Elan Throttle Cable

Hey everyone, been a long time since I was on here but am currently stuck and hope you can help. I've got a 1974 Elan 294 ss with the single cylinder 250 engine in it, the throttle cable is completely shot and as you may know parts are unobtanium for these at least at a decent price. I can still get throttle cables cheap for the 1980-91 years with basically the same engine and body, cable looks identical in the pictures but does anyone know if these will fit the older years? Even if its close Ill make it work, I tried a spare cable I had for my 250 citation but while the sheath is a close length and the ends are the same the cable inside is too short. Thanks in advance!!

Polaris 800 engine swap

Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and the textbook example of joining a forum with a sled problem, but in my defence I am brand new to sledding all together.

I bought a 2010 dragon 800 just recently for $2200 which seemed fairly decent to me considering it has a fully rebuilt engine less than 600 miles ago, and had all the receipts since new. When it was rebuilt the fix kit was installed as well. We have been getting unbelievable snow on Vancouver Island, so you can imagine how excited I was to get out and go for a rip. Completely drained the oil and gas tanks and refilled with new just to be sure, followed proper warm up procedure, got about 6 miles from my truck and the engine seized solid. brought it home, ripped head and jug off, and sure enough the piston on the clutch side's skirt completely failed, shrapnel all in bottom end etc. The other piston was like brand new. Curious what could have caused this??
-As far as warranty on the rebuilt engine, the shop that did the work changed ownership and is no longer a polaris dealer.


Next, I'm thinking about options.

There is a used 2015 800 engine from a Pro RMK terrain dominator for sale for $2500 with only 350 miles, and from what I have heard the newer motors are considerably more reliable than the 2010 liberty 800. What can I expect to do in the way of modifications to install the 2015 motor? is it worth it?

Should I just part the sled out and buy something newer?

What years of motors are essentially plug and play in a 2010? (if any at all)

So far my experience with sledding has been about 10 minutes of riding and about 1 hour of being towed
Im open to any options or recommendations, and thank you for your time.

1999 Classic Touring 500 Bogs at WOT

Hi all! I'm hoping you guys can help me in Wisconsin. I have a 1999 Classic Touring 500 F/C and just wondering why it seems like it's starving for fuel on the high end? I back off the throttle and she becomes responsive. I did replace the fuel filter. Did a quick inspections of the carbs. ie removed float bowl and make sure wasn't gummed up around the inlet jet, but didn't remove any jets though. Also split apart the fuel pump and cleaned it. looked cleaned. Still didn't matter. All gas lines look OK. I even changed to a brand new belt and plugs. What gives?? As a last resort I drained all the gas. I plan on really cleaning up the carbs and getting into them more thorough and getting a pump rebuild kit and putting new gas in. OR.. am I wasting my time as its a bigger, underlying issue that I'm not aware of. Thanks to any and all that chime in on this thread!!:dunno:

Help with clutch

Hi all!
We finally got some snow out west, so had a great weekend working the bugs out of my 550. Did a total rebuild at the end of last year. It is running great, but it seems as if the clutching is not right. It engages at about 5000, fairly smooth. It feels as if the motor is winding out, rpms are high and there is not much top end. At 5000, the sled is running at about 20 mph.
Any ideas on where I should start? Could it be that i didn't get the motor aligned with the clutches? When i installed the motor, i wasn't sure where the shims went!

Thanks!

94 EXT 580 [mod]

hey, so Im currently running an old phazer II in a vmax 540 chassis, and now this phazer engine is annoying the hell out of me, it lost spark and won't come back.

Now, I am debating putting a 94 ext 580 engine into it instead of the old phazer. #powerincrease
and the only thing this engine needs is a flywheel.
I have been searching the web, and only find EXT580 EFI flywheels off ebay.
now, i'm not good with EFI machines, and Wan't to know if the flywheel of a ext 580 EFI would be the same for NON-EFI.

plan on calling the dealers today and figuring out if no one here answers, but thought i'd post. because you never know x[)


i have a running EXT EFI, and that thing chews, so could just imagine this engine, in a light weight chassis.

1995 600 XLT runs well for a few minutes then bogs out

dimanche 21 janvier 2018

So last spring I bought my kids a cheap 600 XLT Special for us to run around our property. I got it pretty cheap because he had pulled the recoil out of it mid-winter and just moved on to a different sled. He told me that it was running fine when he yanked the recoil out of it.

I got the recoil fixed and the plastic rope guides replaced with aluminum and got it fired up on the trailer last spring before putting it away. This fall when I got it out I filled it with fresh gas. It took about 9 gallons. A few weeks ago I pulled it out and got it fired up. It smoked quite a bit on that first start up but nothing terrible. We took it around the house a couple times and it started to bog out. It would idle fine but if I gave it throttle it would die out around 3000 rpm or so. A couple days after that, I fired it up again and found that it would run ok with the choke on. I took a couple laps around the house and then parked it until I could clean up the carbs.

I pulled the carbs last night and put them in my ultrasonic cleaners for the day. They looked fine inside when I pulled them apart but I kept going anyway. I got everything back together tonight and got the sled fired up. Unfortunately it is still behaving the same. It went a couple laps around the house and started to bog. I flipped the choke on and it immediately recovered. After 50 feet or so I flipped the choke off as it was starting to bog again. It ran fine for another half lap around the house and then did the same thing.

This is my first foray into snowmobiles. I'm usually a 4 stroke atv and mower guy. I do know how to clean a carb though (and they were pretty clean looking as is) so I'm thinking those are likely fine. I'm thinking I have a fuel delivery issue somewhere but I'm not all that confident in that diagnosis.

At this point my next plans are:
  • loosen the fuel cap in case the tank isn't venting
  • replace the fuel filter
  • verify fuel flow by pulling the sled over with the #1 cylinder gas line off to see if I have good flow

Any input, relevant experiences with a similar sled or wild ass guesses are appreciated.

94 Polaris Indy Classic 500 Issues

Hey everybody... Just bought a 94 Polaris Indy Classic 500 with 4000 miles and a lot has been replaced on it (fuel pump, plugs, wires, filters, lines, gas, oil, bearings, clutch, coolant, belt, cables) and I am still having the same problem. It starts right up and will run great for about 20 min. then just die, let it sit and it will restart within minutes but will only run for a couple minutes and repeat. I think it is overheating and having the same problem the other guys are mentioning but have no clue how to let air out, flush system or replace thermostat and don't want to keep spending money and time on it and not solving the problem.

Everything has been maintained and updated or replaced recently, but it sat for awhile before I got it. How do you know if it is the head gasket, instead of something simple like a clogged system or stuck thermostat? It has over 120 compression. This is my first sled and it's awesome otherwise and I really want to get it going properly and won't ride it anymore until I do and would greatly appreciate any help at all!

2015 Indy 600 SP overheat

I bought this sled new a few years ago. Had it studded at the dealer and he also installed tunnel protectors. This machine has run hot ever since I have owned it. Removed the protectors in an attempt to cure the overheat problem. That did help some what. Yesterday while riding it, in good snow (a bit warm 35 degrees) and running and moderate speeds (25-50 mph) engine temp was fine 127-135 F. Got on a bumpy trail (slower speeds) with minimal snow cover and temp climbed to 194F and the warning light came on. My wife actually rides this sled and my 2017 Pro S runs at a consistent 124F but did climb to 136F on the same trail. The Indy has had this problem since new and I also had a 2014 that did the same thing.
Questions:
What thermostat is stock on these?
Would a lower temp thermostat help this?
What can be done to fix this?
Thanks to all in advance.

Polaris Storm 800 oil line question

samedi 20 janvier 2018

I have a storm 800 I have been putting together the last few week. while running the oil lines tonight I noticed that I am unable to blow through the fittings on the intake for the oil lines, I took them off and the banjo bolts are clear, the fitting itself seems to have a check ball of somesort in it, I cannot see how oil will make it into the intake if I cannot blow through the fitting. They are at the end of the lines in this listing

I have a 950 PSI engine,based on zr700 cases. Does anybody know the procedure to eliminate oil injection pump. I'm not sure how shafts get lubed, I know there is a gear on crank,gear on cross shaft that runs water pump,and I think to another gear on oil pump side,then a stub shaft with another gear,to oil pump,how does all this get lubed. Thanks

Short Track Recommendation - Phazer?

Hello all, first time poster.

I'm 21, 240 lbs and currently ride a 07 Phazer FX. I really like the narrow seat, and the way the 4 stroke sips fuel even when you beat on it. The sled has dual carbide skis that increase the steering effort which I don't mind. I have the suspension pretty tight. with the weight transfer spring on hard

I almost exclusively ride trails, usually pretty tight ones. I snowmobile in the Okemo area in VT.
My dad has a 2014 Rush R, which is great to ride, but is a little scary because the track has no bite when you brake. Not entirely sure why, its near the same weight and the same track length. Not sure if thats something wrong with the sled or if thats normal. I just like a little more safety net than that sled has.

Rode a switchback today, it was real fast, but no fun if you weren't hauling on it.

I ride pretty aggressively and I tend to beat on sleds pretty hard, I've tipped my Phazer over a couple times, so something robust is good.

What sleds would you recommend? Short track, and narrow seat are really the key features. How are the new Phazers compared to the old ones? What about a 15-16 with some upgrades?

'93 Polaris 500 EFI

Troubleshooting '93 Polaris 500 EFI. It has sat for two yrs, it ran great on it's last ride. It has fresh gas, new plugs(w/good spark) and a new battery. I have cleaned all the connections to the ACS and ground. Fuel system starts and runs for 5 seconds as it should. I have bench cleaned the injectors and there is pressure in the fuel rail. It does run when I put a bit of fuel in each cylinder, but only that fuel then dies. I have read the manual, and it says the ACS unit is good if the system pressures-up. Any suggestion would be well appreciated in case I'm missing something obvious! I have read many threads on the EFI but with no luck on fixing my issue. E-Roc

'93 650 RXL fires, runs strong then won't start?!?!?

Baffled ;/

New plugs and thought the new battery fixed problem, however when sled is cold sled fires right up on second short pull, then runs great but after I shut it down, it will not start again. It is as if a choke is stuck, but it EFI - -thoughts?? new battery, new charge, new plugs, new fuel filter

Thanks for any suggestions

Polaris indy rmk 700 98, wont stop using key or switch.

My polaris rmk 98 wont stop when I push stop button or turn the key of, have followed the cables from ignition switch, one goes to ground and the other black ends up into cdi/coil. when this happens and the engine wont stop, I tried knocking on this ducati 4060181-1 and then engine stops. I have checked the cable connections in the plug nothing wrong there, so from what I can find out the problem is inside the box. Can I open the box somehow or do I need new one, or anyone have a suggestion what else that might be the problem?

90s Phazer [SPARK ISSUE]

So, i've got this 90s phazer, that was running fine, brought it in to try and hook up the light, then I had lost spark. Changed stator plate, Coil, CDI... still no spark.

By using a Test light, with the ground wire from stator to cdi hooked up, and test light into the Orange from cdi wire connector the RED light flashes, but then once the ground is Unhooked the RED & GREEN light flash.

And Barey anything with ground hooked up.

Put test light into The bottom end of COIL plugin and Nothing. So there is resistance somewhere between that one plugin, but it doesn't make sense, because should you not still have power on the bottom of coil even if its shot. Until the unit itself.

HAVE power from stator, to CDI, through CDI to end of plugins, then @Coil plugin, it's gone.



First stator 13.5ohms
Second stator 15.0ohms

In the pictures provided is where spark is lost.

Polaris XLT waterpump waste gate?

i have a tripple piped polaris xlt, psi pipes, clutched, geared, etc. when the sled is reving at about 8500-9400 rpm coolant starts coming out of the coolant cap. i have replaced the coolant cap with a 15 lb cap and a new head gasket ever since i put the pipes on it started to do it. i suspect it is the water pump pushing the coolant to hard and it is overcoming the cap. has anyone ever had this issue? I am thinking of making a waste gate just like a turbo but i would put in inline with the coolant lines. then have something that opens at about 12 lbs and dumps the coolant back into the coolant tank. i also put in a nose cone radiator if anyone thinks that it makes a difference. any input would be great

92 ext 550 main jet?

vendredi 19 janvier 2018

Ok. So I think I found the issue with my sons sled. I think the fuel filter is/was plugged. I pulled the fuel pump, cleaned it and put a new kit in it. Replaced the impulse line (was OK). And new filter. Now I’m checking out the carbs. Trying to determine main jet size. How do I know the size of the main jets I have in the carb? The chart on the sled shows I should have 330-340. I can’t tell what I have in the carb! I have the jet out but there are no numbers on it. The numbers I can find on the carb are 38E 232.

As a reminder this sled was hard to start hot/cold! It needed to be choked to start it hot!

Please let me know what I’m missing!
Thanks

secondary clutch slipping in reverse

So a friend of mine who doesn't know much about snowmobiles bought a 2007? (I think) 900 RMK in not running condition. After it sat a few years in his driveway he decided to get it going. That's where I got in involved. I have a 97 skandic 500 fan, a 2004 skandic 550 fan and a 2003 yamaha rx-1 mountain. I have decent wrenching experience and extensive riding experience.

To start with the machine was not running and I offered to clean the carbs. On looking at it I realized it was fuel injected so I skipped that.
I noticed that the belt tool and a hardware bolt were installed in the secondary clutch opening it about half way. The belt itself was in good condition but the clutches were smeared with black burnt rubber. I started there because that is like trying to let a clutch out in 4th gear. After the clutch sheaves were cleaned (120 grit and acetone) and the secondary was allowed to close the belt rode up to the top and is sitting about 1/16 proud of the top of the secondary. I have learned that there should be a deflection adjustment screw and jam nut in the secondary. I assume somebody lost it and replaced it with the bolt but I still don't understand why anyone would ride it with the clutch tool in?

There entire engine bay was soaked in oil including unburned oil in the leaky exhaust. We installed the exhaust correctly with some extra springs I had in my junk spring bin. The fuel tank smelled ok so we put off a flush and drain. Compression was 120 and 90 but my gauge reads low. (for example my skandic which is a strong runner shows 70/70). I considered that the imbalance might be a problem but it could also be oil build up in one cyl. as well.

We pulled the rope and it fired but ran poorly. The oil and temp warning lights flickered on the dash (melted harness in three places and corroded butt connectors. As soon as any throttle was applied it stalled out and back fired loudly.

Spark testing revealed a dead spark plug. These were replaced and gapped to spec. Compression now reading 90 and 90 (I assume excess oil was burned out.) As short test ride showed the clutches were working in forward with no burning rubber or slipping apparent. I don't know the machine but it felt sluggish to me. I was able to get up to maybe 70 km/hr in the small orchard across the street. My rx1 would have hit 90-100 km across the same orchard.

Next we removed the tank and drained the fuel. All of the hose inside the tank was rotten so we replaced that and re-installed. l also took the wiring looms apart and cut out and replaced all of the melted wires and Butt Connectors. I soldered and used quality heat shrink. Now all the warning lights are out and the machine is running smoothly but the reverse only goes a few feet before it slips and does not work.

The engine slows stops and runs backwards as expected but as soon as the machine starts to back up the secondary opens prematurely and the belt slides down inside the the secondary. If I engage forward the engine slows stops and goes forward and the belt climbs back up and the machine runs normally.

The secondary clutch is factory painted red and is a Team Secondary. I have never taken one apart but I have done the seocndary on both my skandics including the 550 which has RER. I am thinking maybe somebody put a secondary without PERC on this machine. Can anyone who is smart with Team clutches advise??

We are hoping to go for a proper shake down ride this weekend. I don't think we will damage anything if we don't use reverse.

Thank You.

2015 M8000 Secondary Clutch won't open!

So I blew a belt the other day... Was just turning onto a straight away and gave it the gas and the belt blew as I reached about 40MPH. Everything seemed to work correctly before that. Realized as I was changing the belt that the bolt to open the secondary was too short, even without washers... just would not catch a thread. Apparently there's a washer some tool kits have for exactly this issue; but I didn't have it. So I had to force the belt on over the secondary and pull the sled backwards a few times until it was finally seated. Drove back home and took it easy to break in the belt.

Now I'm noticing that when I give it some throttle, my secondary will not open. At all. So I get about 30MPH at 6000RPMS. If that. I don't really want to take it the dealership if I don't have to, but I'm beyond ideas of what could be wrong. Does it lock closed in reverse, and my pulling backwards trying to work the belt on locked it up? Or is something inside it screwed which led to the belt blowing to start with? Or is it likely when the belt blew the secondary slammed shut and wrecked itself inside?

Wish the damn thing would just open up and work normally! Any ideas anyone?

question on 98 v-max 600 triple

jeudi 18 janvier 2018

Hello gentlemen, i've had the sled for a couple years now. 1st time greasing it because i had a tune up when i got it and had a new track put on it last year. So both times i had them grease it up. Jack shaft bearing has no zerk behind the clutch. Neither does the speedo bearing no zerk or hole for a grease needle. Should I or Can I pull the rubber seal off the jack shaft bearing and grease it that way?

Polaris 800 engine question

Hello, I will very soon be in the market for a new sled, and I have had great luck with the Polaris units in the past. I have had a couple of people make a comment that Polaris has had a lot of problems, serious engine issues, with the newer 800 with the lightweight crank. It seems to get rave reviews on reviews I see on the TV. How does a person find out the truth about the 800, and would I get better life out of the 600?

Brakes stuck?

Hello, did a little test run on my 87 Phazer and realized the brakes are basically non functioning. I can barely even squeeze the lever. Wondering if there is anything I can do? I feel like when I pull on the lever a little I can see the cable wiggle where it’s attached to the brake but it’s very hard to squeeze even the smallest bit and again doesn’t illicit any braking so I’m looking for advice on what to try to do to free it up or if necessary replace.

Setting Belt Deflection On Pre-96(ish)Yamahas

mercredi 17 janvier 2018

This is done via the secondary clutch. This procedure will apply to Phazer, Srv, SS440, Enticers, and just about the rest. Any Yamaha sled with the helix on the backside of the clutch.

There are special tools for this, but most can be done with an extra set of hands. I prefer tools as the helix is spring loaded. Proceed at your own risk. In addition to hands or compression tools, you will need a quality set of snap ring pliers.

Lay the clutch face down(the side where the bolt would go). Note which hole the spring tab is in or mark it for future reference. With some big hands and arms, push the helix down and remove the snap ring. Account for the washer under the clip. With any luck the helix wont be stuck to the splined shaft.

Once you have the clip removed, slowly release downward pressure and let the helix raise up of the shaft. It will rotate a bit as it comes up and almost off. At this point, the other end of the spring's tab will still be in the movable sheave(hopefully), mark or note its location for future reference.

Once the helix is off, the moveable sheave should slide off the shaft. If your lucky, the shim washers are still between the sheaves, if not, you will need 2 of oem Yam part # 90201-345G2-00. Take the sheave you just removed and slide it back on the shaft. Now, take your belt and drape it over the clutch just like it would ride if on the sled. If the belt is too high, add a shim, too low, take a shim out. Once your happy with the dry fit, your ready for the dubious task of re-assembly. Prior to putting things back together, you should inspect the plastic bushings along with the sheave bushing for damage or wear. Now, what to do with those potential left over washer(s) if they arent used. I safely store them under the c-clip.

Re-set your spring tab in its original hole on the moveable sheave, line up the helix on the splines with the other end of the spring's tab in the helix original hole, and slide it down the splines slightly. Now, rotate the movable sheave about 1/3 turn counter clockwise and then compress the spring via the helix and reinstall the washer and clip, making sure the helix clears the buttons. If all went well, your good to go. Not enough twist, your sled will overshift, too much and it will overrev.

There are several options for tuning your secondary. You have choices of A,B, and C, along with 1,2,3 and 4 between the helix and the sheave. Each letter/number combo represents a different clocking angle and is spring specific. Different colored spring allow different angles.

Hopes this helps. Tools are better than hands, and you will know if you messed up, been there, done that. Just practice a few times and it will become easier.

2011 800 Pro R Rush Electrical Problem

Any insight appreciated. I've got two electrical problems and don't know if they're related or not. I've connected the typical RCA 2 wire helmet jack to my battery. When I plug my helmet to it, it will light up for a minute or less and go out. I can use the same wire and helmet on other sleds and they work fine. The second problem is that I can't get any power from my 12v factory installed outlet. I just replaced with a new one thinking it was bad. Did not help. Could there be any relation here? Any thoughts on the problem? Could I have a bad ground? Does the 12v outlet have a fuse I'm missing? I don't see one and was told it doesn't have one. Any thoughts are appreciated.

95 XCR 600, rebuild, replace engine, or cut my losses?

So i bought this sled this fall, the guy said it ran great last winter, just clean the carbs and you're good to go. Can't beat it for $300 right? Wrong. Had to completely replace the fuel system, there wasn't even a pickup tube in the gas tank. The choke was missing all the littke doo-dads on the end of the cables, and it had no spark. Replaced the stator and CDI box, cleaned the carbs up and started it up, and the engine has a clunk in the bottom end. My question is do I spend $170 on a used crank, 270 on a rebuilt crank, or $380 on a used engine? If i rebuild i will do the top end as well and drill out the pto side oil port. I just can't decide which route to go. The top end kit with pistons, rings, and wrist pins is only $115, and i can have the cylinders replated for $100 if need be. Also for about $100 i can get all the bearings to rebuild my crank but I've never done that before, how hard is it? Thanks for any help you might be able to give

No Spark When Throttle Depressed

Hi guys,

I have a 1988 Arctic Cat El Tigre that has no spark when I depress the throttle any amount. I believe this is the tss but I looked on the internet and the only videos showing how to bypass it are for sleds newer than '91.

Is my problem the tss and if so, how do you bypass it on a 1988 Arctic Cat?

Sorry guys, I'm really bad with wiring so I can't figure it out.

Need air temp sensor - 1993 Wildcat 700 EFI

mardi 16 janvier 2018

As stated, I need an air temp sensor for my sled. The air temp sensor wire was broken off and I had soldered it back on several times. The sensor came off and disappeared so I have nothing at all to work with now. The original part number is 3004-018.

There are none available locally where I am (central Alberta) and none used either. I could order one from the states on ebay, but after shipping and dollar conversion it just is too expensive.

I was thinking of making a new one using a Thermistor, but I can only do that if someone has the original AC service manual, with the Air Temp sensor Ohm chart. Thermistors are available for less than five bucks each, so if I had those specs it would be easy to make one.

Any leads are appreciated.

Does anybody know if this is true, phazer 2 vs phazer plug placement difference

Here is a link to a photo explaining what confuses me.

http://ift.tt/2r9t137

I've been told that the phazer 2 carbs need to have the plugs in the left hole and the center hole, and the sticky on this forum as well as the plethora of information provided from yamadad says the same thing.

However, after searching the internet as well as this forum, I see a guy has made this here diagram and explains that they are not the same. Is there any truth to this? I am still fighting a bog on my phazer, have been since last year, it opens up after about 5 seconds of bog from the start, then it runs wide open. I have no idea what the issue is. I've put my plugs where yamadad suggested, but am now tempted to try otherwise, if there is any truth to what this diagram shows.

Here is a thread where the guy posted this photo, he's been on other forums and posted the same thing.
http://ift.tt/2rajAAx

It is also worth mentioning that, one year ago, when i opened up my carbs I only found one plug. I was then advised from members here to make sure I had 2 plugs and that mine must have been lost. this is a mid 90's phazer 2. I guess my major issue is that I'm just trying to determine which is the correct installation due to seeing multiple things here. I finally put the 2 plugs in as instructed, but have still had this bog. If we can clear this up it might help people for the future as well since these pesky plugs tend to make a difference as to how a machine runs.

Gas tank had a think layer of old gas/varnish in it. I removed it and cleaned it with a can of Carb cleaner for 3 days, I dumped nails, bolts etc and shook it around daily. The old internal gas line was gone. I installed the a new gas line and filter in the tank.

I also installed new gas lines from the tank to the fuel pump and from pump to carbs. added another filter and shut off valve between tank and pump.

I checked the impulse line and it was in good shape.

I had both carbs cleaned at the local snowmobile shop.

It starts and idles just great. Going around the yard it runs great to about 30 mph. If I give it 3/4 to full throttle the rpms drop and if I keep holding it the sled will almost die.

The only thing I haven't replaced or cleaned in the whole fuel system is the pump. Do you think that the pump needs to be cleaned or replaced? Or do you think the carbs are still an issue?

I had a buddy come over and check the compression. One cylinder was 120 the other 125, so that checked out.

Thanks for any help!

Went for a ride tonight and after about 15 minutes sled started cutting out at low speeds and got worse the longer I rode. I would stop and let sled cool down for 15 to 20 mins sled would run fine until it warm up again. fluids are all good I changed plugs but it still is acting up, any ideas?

VES gold

Hello!

I run my 2002 rmk 800 with ves gold oil, but that stuff is realy expensive for a 15 y/o

So i was wondering if i can run a cheaper fully syntetic oil instead or a cheap 2-stroke oil?
Or will i see majore damage then?

Hard starting sled advice????

Howdy,


So, here's the situation and I could use some advice.

I have 2000 800RMK that I put a new motor into last season. Put 300 miles on it, all went well.
Put all the sleds into "summer storage" in June, by running the carbs out, turned off fuel, drained the tank, and put bit of oil into cylinders and bounce sheets everywhere. Then, in November, when I thought we would get snow ( wishful thinking....) I refilled the tank with ethanol free fuel, pulled the motor with the rope for about 40 times, put in new plugs, and it started on the second pull. Let it run for a few, and turned it off.

So then waited for snow, which is a bummer, since it didn't happen. Last weekend we went up to the mountains for a ride on the minimal snow we have. All of the other sleds started, but the 800 did not want to start. So, we rode the other sleds.

When I got home, I checked for spark, which it had, good compression, and pulled the plugs and pulled the rope with the throttle open, saw a bit of fuel/oil out the spark plug holes. Put the plugs in, pulled about 15 times and nothing. So, pulled the plugs, using a oven baster, i put a little fuel in each cylinder, and it started right up on the first pull. Let it run for a few minutes. Turned it off, then waited a hour later, and it started right up. Tried again the next day, and it started right up.

So, my question is why? The only thing I can think is that the fuel pump did not fill the bowls on the carbs after the initial start up for the winter, and it took the motor running to get enough vacuum to get the fuel going through the carbs..... Just a thought but would love others input.

Also, I understand that putting gas into the cylinders is not a good thing without oil, but the oil pump seems to be working when i pull the rope.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.......

Track won’t turn

dimanche 14 janvier 2018

Okay so I have a 2009 Yamaha nytro xtx and I bought it this year. The guy before me dropped a new viper motor in it with 200 miles on it. So I was out ridding on the river yesterday and my temperature light came on so I stopped the sled to let it cool down and when I went to start it up again I noticed it wouldn’t move it just rev’d up. It would just rev in reverse too. So I took the side panel off and saw the secondary clutch was spiing but the primary wouldn’t move, the primary jolted as if it wanted to move but it wouldn’t. The track jolted as well like it wanted to move but it wouldn’t as well. So I’m not sure what to do I dragged it back to the house with the wheeler but I want to know if there is anything I can check before I take it in thanks.

I have 2 stroke phazers parts(including aftermarket pipes and flatslide carb set ups), 98 and up srx parts, 97 600 twin parts, redhead 6 and 700 parts, a few 570 exciter goodies, aftermarket clutch goodies, and alot more.

Bleeding oil pump

I have a 99 xc700 and i had to rebuild my recoil doing so i removed the oil pump but only disconnected one oil line. Reassembled everything never seen any air in the lines but did open the bleeder on first start up also put premix in first tank. My question is did i "properly" bleed the system? Only rode the sled a few hours maybe putting 20 miles on. Im just being paranoid and want to make sure it will be fine. Any help or tips would be appreciated

School me on upgrading

I have a couple Skidoo Formula 500s, late 90s. They have SC10. That much I know.

I was looking at a 2004 MXZ 800. It's got the fancy front end, fancy seat but the rear suspension looks like the same SC10 as in my Formula ?

I want to upgrade, but preferably something that has more suspension travel than mine does that will be more comfortable on crappy trails that are not groomed.

Also, I have a clamshell trailer and I don't want to go much longer than my formula 500.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking at 2004-2006 models. Not sure if this is an 'upgrade'. Also, I hear 800s overheat and have electrical problems. True ?

Chain case removal 600 vmax

Hi! New to the forum here!
I'm in the middle of removing my chaincase from my 1997 600 Vmax DX with reverse. I've almost got it off but ran into a problem with the lower shaft that moves the track, I can't get the chaincase to slide over the teeth that are on the shaft, I don't see any C clips or anything to remove the teeth from the shaft and can't find any other way to be able to slide the chaincase off!
Any type of help or direction would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to get back out on the trails!
Thanks ahead of time!

2004 Ski-Doo Legend tail light not working

Fired sled up right out of storage to find the brake and tail lights were not working. Mice apparently chewed up some wires located under the plastic "skirt" under the handle bars. Fixed what I could and got the brake light working but not the running tail light. There are three wires routed under the tank and seat to the light. Up under the handle bars there are two wires that have a plug but there is no place I can see to plug them in. Assuming this is the problem. Any suggestions beyond taking it to the dealer?

replacing MXZ 600 1999 piston sleeves

CYLINDER TYPES
CI - Original barrel has a cast-in iron liner in the cylinder; liner must be bored out completely (do not try to push out the cast-in liner)
RS - Original barrel has a replacement sleeve; heat cylinder to remove old sleeve; re-heat cylinder to install new sleeve
AC - Original cylinder bore is alloy chrome-plated, Nikasil® or electro-fused; cylinder must be bored to accept new sleeve
How do I know what type I have ? This was the cheaper way to go if I can press them out .I did not see any markings to indicate the type. I called the dealer and they said it cant be done but on line there is 3 company's that make them. Any help is great help thanks.

What sled to buy for next winter

sled blew up this winter and i am not interested in rebuilding it, the ole girl has 16000 miles on it its a 98 mxz 500 shes fully clapped out. among my freinds i am not known to be slow so no fanners or particularly slow sleds. I ride probably 30% off trail and 70% on trail.
heres some of my ideas, all sleds from mid 2000s to 90s, i like them old chassis (rev is the exception).
-600 sdi mxz
-670 mxz
-XC/RMK 600,700, 800

Oiler Bypass?

So I bought a 1988 Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000 for $150. It needed its carbs cleaned and a new CDI to get it running.

The previous owner had bypassed the oiler because it had stopped working. My question is, what fuel ratio should I run the sled on since the oiler doesn't work?

I was thinking 40:1 but I don't want to damage the sled, so if anyone thinks otherwise, please let me know.

Polaris 500 xc clutch bog

mardi 9 janvier 2018

I own a 1999 Polaris XC 500. All last year and the beginning of this riding season it has ran and drove perfect. After a 94 mile ride it died on me on my way home. Luckily after it randomly died I got it going and went home. The next day I went to ride it and it would idle perfect. But as soon as I gave it throttle it would bog out and had no power at all. I have cleaned my carbs, changed my primary spring, and put new plugs in. I have even put a clutch off a 2000 polaris Xc 700 and it still isn't driving right. Could my problem be that I need to rebuild my primary and secondary? It idles fine so I don't think its and engine problem. Let me know what you think!

crank bearing lubrication

Hi , I have a 1996 Storm 800. I took the crankcase apart , cleaned it and am about to put it all back together but I noticed some snowmobiles require the pto bearing to be packed with grease. The shop manual I have did not mention anything about greasing any of the bearings . Should I just reassemble it as is or put a little grease on the pto bearing? Also, it does say to grease the oil pump drive gear, labyrinth seal area and the end seals,any brand of grease better than others for this ?

2009 Skidoo 550 fan mxz trouble.

lundi 8 janvier 2018

I have a 09 550 mxz fan cooled with electric start. As I’m driving the machine the engine stops running. I turn the key off and back on again and the engine immediately restarts. It may move 5 feet or five miles before it does it again. It may do it once or four or five times in a short period of time. If it does do it more than 3 times in a short span I will sometimes get a backfire when it restarts. I have new plugs fresh gas. I have been told it may be the cdi but it’s a non returnable part that’s not really cheap so I rather not roll the dice on it unless there is some way I can check it. Is this a common issue with this particular machine? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My son picked up a 1992 Arctic Cat Wildcat 700. The thing bogs down when you romp on the gas. I think I have the carb adjusted lean enough now to make it run. Looking forward to testing out. While adjusting the carbs, I noticed a wire attached to each carb that is not connected to anything. Have no clue what it is for. We don't have any diagram to reference either. Would love some help.

01 500 xc sp won't go over 6500 rpm

dimanche 7 janvier 2018

Hi and help please. My polaris is super clean, low miles. Ran fine all winter. Got it out last night to test new riding gear. Had a misfire. Seemingly random. Far between misfires. Not at idle but any other rpm.

Anyway today I cleaned the carbs, they were beatiful though. Put in new plugs (also looked good). And cleaned power valves. Those were kinda dirty.

Now it won't get over 6500 rpm or so. It'll run 7 grand without a load when I jack up the track. Thinking it's not a coincidence and I must've screwed up.

Checked and rechecked my work, power valves, seem right. They move easy. All wires hooked back up. Tried old plugs, no change. Did break a nipple for the carb air vent hose going into the airbox, now it's vented just under hood. But no change.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated

New to sledding

I am looking at buying a 2000 Polaris Indy 600 with 7500km for $1600. Can I get some advice for looking at buying this sled. I have only driven a sled 5 or 6 times so I'm not very experienced.


New to sledding

What can this sled do?

I have very little (at most) experience and knowledge about snowmobiling. I have a 1997 Polaris XLT 600 which I bought very used. I have only used it for pulling a kid around the yard.

I am considering branching out to a Ski Doo GTX 380F 2-up. Is that an engine (380 ccm) a sled capable of carrying a 200# driver and pulling a 120# person behind it on a plastic sled? It seems like a 380 ccm engine may be pretty weak. I don't recall ever seeing anything for sale under 400ccm.

Thanks for you opinions.

cool in fan runs continuously

2013 1200 gt four stroke. The fan runs all the time time, even when the engine is not running. I unplugged it, and it obviously stopped. Hours later, I plugged it back in, and the fan started to run, but very slowly. I started the engine, to warm it up. I plugged the fan in. It ran slowly for a few moments, then full speed... even whit engine off.

Cooling... sorry. Not Cool in

Heated Shield Q?

Have been looking at new modular helmets. Been a bit of an adventure. I’ve never used a heated shield before, but I know if I get a helmet with one it is cheaper than buying a shield later. Ordered and FXR fuel modular. Sent it back because it was a flemsey piece of junk and the breath guard defeated any purpose of a modular. Went to the CKX Tranz 1.5 to find out it was a complete fog fest and a sweat box due to poor vent design. Now I’m looking at the Bell Revolver Evo.

So here are my questions:

1) can you use a heated shield without wiring it just like a standard dual lens? I’m not sure I’ll have the time to get it wired this season.

2) my sled is a 2013 Renegade Etec 600. Can I use the kit that comes with the electric shield and hook it to the battery, or do I need to buy the harness kit that Ski doo offers?

1995 polaris indy crankshaft issue?

I recently purchased a motor off of it hate to say it ebay for my indy and I switched over all the other stuff off my engine that sucked a lung. After starting it up the clutch side cylinder is backfiring I have switched coils carbs adjusted everything I can and it still does it. If I unhook the plug it goes away with just a dead cylinder. What's the chance that the timing is off a bit or the crank is off? I ran a compression test and have 125 125 and 120. It sounds like it's coming from bottom of the engine more so than exhaust.

800 ho reed problem

samedi 6 janvier 2018

Does anyone know if cat did somthing to fix the reed problem after 2011. Why are 10 and 11 cats so hard on reeds? I’ve got a 10 Cfr and an 11 m8 and both will eat a set of reeds(always the lower petals) in 1000 to 1500 miles. I’ve googled the topic and can only find one thread we’re a newer style cat had this issue when there’s tons of threads on the 10’s and 11’s. As far as I know the engine and reeds are exactly the same right to 2017 so are guys just not talking about it? I just finished pulling the reeds on my m8 as preventative maintenance and sure enough one side is chipped almost enough to make it run like crap.

lil puzzled... got my 87 formula mx out last month, went through the carbs, lubed, slides fresh fuel and oil lines, ran like new. parked over Christmas weekend went to move it and fired right up but idled REAL low and no power after clutch engagement. pulled the carbs figured something got in them, put em back on same deal. get on the throttle and it'll rev on a stand, idles low, but soon as you put a load on it on the ground it falls on its face. i'm thinking fuel pump? one plug is oily wet carboned up, the other looks lean as hell and white ashy

should i run our 1996 summit with mixed gas

Just bought a nice little Summit which is running really well. So a couple of questions, how much oil should it be using? And should we run it on mixed gas just to be safe.

97 vmax700sx no spark

I traded my first sled which was an Indy 440 for this. It has no spark so I’ve been trying to get it running, I tested the coils and the checked out, can’t test the cdi so I tested the stator this morning (in -3 weather) and I got these readings: white green wire to white red wire was about 170, brown to black/red was 380, and brown red to black was 0. Do I need a new stator? Or should I get a cdi

2001 mxz help

Got a 01 mxz can't get to run unless choked or stay on gas. Goes to idle down and quits. Cleaned carbs, filter in tank, new boots. Question is it a fuel regulator or air leak, to me it seems fuel issue. Any suggestions would help.

Arctic cat M800 Proclimb stops, please help!

Hey !
i have a 2012 M800 proclimb chassie arctic cat, and im having some problems with it.

First day of the season it fired right up, and i had it on idle for a couple of minutes and drove about 4 minutes and it stopped. no chance at starting. waited for a tow and tried start it again, and it fired right up after about 10 mins.
was stuck at cabin for the weeekend so i got to test it out, and it seems like it always stops after a given time / heat. it can idle for about 15 minutes, and will just turn off. or i can idle for 5 minutes and drive for a couple of minutes and it dies. its dies in a way where it sound like the fuel pump stops.

Now i have tried wiring away the tether, key , TSS and killswitch :crying: still no luck. i checked the spark plugs, looks okey. Also pulled the fuel pump out of the tank and all the valves where open...

My only guess now is the stator.... any one with some experience on this field? i suspect there has been drawn to much power out of the 12 volt outlet. a buddy tested some new led light which drew 85watt in the outlet this summer, might this have burned the stator which only happens when it reaches a certain temperature?

Other tips than the stator or ways to test stator would be great!

Thanks in advance...

Last Chance for 1992 Skidoo Safari 377 with No Spark

We have been working on this machine for weeks now and still have inter-mitten spark. We have changed the CDI box, Pick-up Coil, unplugged the ignition and tether switches but still haven't found the issue.

This is a Last Chance question for this machine, then it will be scrapped before it causes my boyfriend and I to loose our minds. This is my brother's machine and he only uses it for ice fishing. The body is in great shape but is no good if it isn't running.....

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
