Hello! Snowmobile engine in an art car

Hello! I got an old junky gas powered golf cart, and Indy 500 EFI motor. Eventually, it will be an art car for Burning Man, but for mow I am completely out of my comfort zone. If anybody on this forum lives around Sacramento area, I would much appreciate a consult!

Parting '03 EDGE RMK 800

Hey all, I've got a sled that I bought for the skid, track, and other suspension components that I plan to sell the rest of. It's currently running and drivable. Major pieces up for sale include: engine (planning to sell as long block, but could do the whole thing), exhaust and other engine parts, clutches, body pieces, lights, instruments, etc. I'll post pictures and more details soon (will do a compression check and post results too). Sled has 4700 miles and unknown history. No papers, but I ran the VIN when I got it, and it's clean. Post or PM with any pieces you're interested in.

Short VIN issue

I'm looking for insurance on the Polaris 600 I just picked up. I sent the VIN from ownership to the broker. He said it was a short VIN. The number on the sled is even shorter. Does my 600 Polaris even have a 17 digit VIN?

Polaris 1990 Sprint won't spark.

I have a 1990 spint, electric start, and I can't get it to spark. I have replaced the CDI box, the alternator looks good, and the switches seem to be okay, checked those too. Any suggestions? It doesn't have the battery in it, if that even matters, I have just been pulling it. I got these free from a friend, and would really like to get them working. Also if I had to, is there a way that I could bypass the switches? I can't figure out why I am not getting a spark.

93 mx470 electrical issues

I just picked up a 93 mx470 with 583 motor. I am new to sleds and i am trying to fix this one up a bit. i cleaned the carbs gaped the plugs fixed the fuel lines and i can get it to start but it has a high idle - I believe this is just an idle screw adjustment issue. The bigger problem is that none of the electronics work, no gauges , no headlight nothing.... the sled came with no battery so i hooked up up to my quad battery but i cant get anything to turn on. My question is where do i start trouble shooting ? it looks like there is a single fuse holder off the + wire going from the battery to the ignition but there is no fuse in place. I temporarily installed an 18 gauge wire to bypass this block just for testing purposes because i didn't have any fuses on hand but i still cant get anything to turn on. All of the plugs look to be connected and i don't see any damage to the harness . I am very competent with wiring as i own a security/av company and i hook up complex electronics quite often , but i am new to sleds so i'm not sure exactly where to start
my trouble shooting. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Polaris 800 Intake & Oiling opinions needed

Im looking for a couple of opinions on the Intake and Oiling setup that is on an 800 Polaris engine. I really dont know much about it other than a friend bought this buggy that had the engine swap already started. The guy he got it from claims it is a brand new never been fired Polaris race sled engine with 160HP :dunno:. The guy spent piles and piles of money on NOS parts for this buggy, so i can believe that the engine is new.

First off, Does anybody recognize exactly what engine this is? I know its a polaris 800 haha. He had blocked off the oil injection because it will not fit in the frame with that pump hanging off of the end. I noticed that the bottom end had a couple of ports where it looks like oil was supplied directly to the crank bearings? If this thing is run on Pre-Mix is it going to live? Can i just cap those ports off and forget about it? This wouldnt have been my first choice.... but i am just taking over someones project.

Second, take a look at the intake setup that he has. There is about 8-12" of intake tract between the carburetors and the engine. In your opinion, will this work? I would think that it would have a hard time atomizing the fuel properly with that much intake length. This is the main thing i was hoping to get some input on. And hopefully with the picture you can get a sense of what i am talking about. The carbs couldnt be installed normally because the transmission is in the way.

Track repair

Just curious if anyone has been able to successfully repair torn or broken lugs on their track. I've tried YouTube, Google, Pinterest, etc. with no definite answer. I did see a video where a guy used loctite to do a repair, but it was basically just to show the strength of the product. I've got a couple lugs that I'm hoping to save and hopefully replace a couple others. Thanks in advance
