Hello All,
Purchased a new to me RMK 700 over the summer. Been going over it getting it ready for winter had to purchase a new primary clutch as the sheave was cracked. Went with a POWERBLOC 80 clutch. Put a new spring in the driven clutch. I have jetted the machine to the specs in the polaris service manual ( 40 pilots , 185 mains , needle clip 3rd position). KEIHIN PWK carbs are clean as a whistle. Running around 2000' elevation.
When I set my throttle gap per service manual , the slides will not fully open at full throttle. I believe the throttle cables are stretched beyond the point of being able to adjust the slack out of them. When I set the throttle slides so I have full throttle , the idle RPM is pretty well at point of engagement and the machine runs awesome. When I set throttle gap per manual and throttle slides don't open fully I get a really low end bog and then the machine wakes up around the 5500-6000 rpm mark.
I sprayed carb cleaner around the crank seals and base gaskets and no increase in RPM suggesting seal/gasket failure. I keep reading about boost bottles and SLP powerpacks I would like to try this out but canot find any for sale. I was wondering if anyone on the forums would have some available?
Thanks
