proper center to center clutch adjustment?

just wondering what the proper way is to adjust clutch center to center on my indy 400. the online manual doesn't say. mine is under. so unloosen the motor and try and move if there is adjustment or shim under the motor mount plate to tilt. not sure why the info isn't in the manual. ps my 5/8 offset is good

Well it is hot here in southern Ontario, and had to tinker with the sleds, so might as well go for a lil rip up and down the lawn just to get that "itch" out of my system, the polaris 600 Edges are a wee bit faster then my 335 elan summer sled, although, that cannot be hurt by lack of lubrication/snow

indy rear suspension spring chart ?

just another silly question but is there a spring chart somewhere for my 87 Indy 400 rear suspension springs. not the front one per say but the back ones. mine seem stiff as hell and does not move when i sit on it. its set to the lowest on the plastic adjusters and the whole suspension has been gone thru and freshly lubed shafts so its not a binding issue. it will move if i stand on the rear bumper but that doesn't seem right. the springs are purple in color all the others i've seen were black. maybe these are extra heavy duty springs? takes alot to take them loose too. my Yamaha exciters were not near as hard to take tension off

87 indy 400 secondary question

so i finally got the frozen helix off my secondary today. needless to say it was very grimy. not a clue as to what the spring color was so i found a brand new Polaris red for $15 shipped and ordered new ramp buttons. factory spec calls for the helix to be in hole #2 . thats factory but noticed the holes are not numbered. there is only one hole for the opposite end so which way are they numbered when the ramps are starring towards your face? will i be happy in hole #2 for a stock studded sled?

Not sure what the spring is actually called, but it wraps around twice at the lowest point of the V on the gas tank.

New to me Arctic Cat 500ZL

Hello everyone. I'm working on getting this snowmobile running. It has been sitting outside for the last 9 months and inside 9 months before that. So it had gas that was at least 1 1/2 years old. I forgot how bad stale gas can smell! I removed all the old gas. I've been told that now is the time to clean the carbs. So I will be taking them off. Also I will be checking the compression, another thing I was told to check.
Is there anything else that I should do before I try and start it. I did try it, it is injecting oil and it was trying to start, but I think I flooded it.
I'm an auto tech so working on engines is not a problem. Just need to readjust my thinking here with a 2 stroke!
Once it's running then I can go over the rest of it.

Please let me know what or if there is something I'm missing here!

WTB: 90 Indy 400 seat

Mine is shot, as there's a huge crack at the butt and the fabric ends are all brittle and torn/cracked. The plywood board is also frail. If anyone has a black w/ red stripes seat for a 90 Indy 400, or has anything comparable that I could vinyl dye, I'd be a happy camper.

Also, as I already have a 93 Indy Trail Deluxe 2-up, does anyone know what other snowmobile seats like the 2-up would fit that 90 400? The tank cover is really nice, but if you have another seat config, could you also let me know if there's also a gas tank cover to go with it? Thanks, Eric in Slinger WI.

93 Polaris Indy TD spark plug cap

When I pulled one of my spark plug caps off before tearing the motor down, I realized I had lost the metal clip inside the spark plug cap that was inside the cap. It was stuck on the spark plug end.

Yesterday I realized I had a replacement cap inside the tool kit. I pulled the old cap out of the wire end, and realized one maybe two parts that fell out. One was a little spring like you'd find in a pen. The other was what appeared to be like a small fuse. I'm not sure the spring actually fell out. I just saw it when I picked up the other part that fall out.

Do I insert that fuse-type piece (<1") into the new cap end where the original wire connected to the old cap, then insert the spring, and finally the wire? How do I know it's fully in place?

On the belly, inside the belly, on both sides of the tunnel. Even on the motor. This causes a problem because I can't order a top end kit with out knowing the year lol.

Need help installing oil injection cable on Srv

Hello from the new guy.

Hello everyone, Just joined the forum because I just acquired a 2000 Arctic Cat 500 from my neighbor given to my son and I. He said it ran good last year,but was having carb issues. Rough running and occasional stalling. Otherwise it was a good sled. I just pressure washed it tonight. It cleaned up pretty good. Tried starting it, but it acts flooded possibly the coils got wet! The one main thing I'm seeing is there is oil leaking out of the exhaust at the cylinder head. Im assuming it's pumping in oil when trying to start it? It wanted to fire a few times but that was it. I'm going g to let it sit and dry out till the weekend, then we'll mess with it some more. Should be a good project for us. It may not end up being a trail sled of its not reliable, but should be fun for around the house!
Is there anything I need to know about before I start tackling anything? I don't have a problem with doing the work, I'm an auto tech so mechanical knowledge is very good!

Summer time swap

Well here it is truth be told. Everybody knows somebody with a what looks like a pile of crap. Well I know myself and have 3! I bought a "parts sled" for 250 bucks. 97 700 rmk. The kinda thing you have to have plyers to hold the choke cables... The damn beast runs over 100 mph. Little did I know till I gave it to my buddy. So I have a 99 700 rmk a little bit pretty (er). This last fall I picked up an 03 600 rmk for 200 bucks with a blown motor. I have all the pieces and parts. Including the piece of piston stuck to the crank. But it looks a lot nicer than my 700 and it's a 144. So the kicker- has anybody put one of these 700s into the newer body style if so what can I expect? BC Dan already told me I would loose the PERC but thats not a bit deal... It will cut some weight. And reverse doesn't help when you're stuck anyhow. I know the cooling system is going to be different. But from there where do I start? Problems I might run into. Thanks all!

John Deere

Hello friends,

I have recently purchased a '76-'77 John Deere Kec 340/23LC Liquid Cooled sled.
The previous owner said it ran when he parked it about 6-8 years ago.
I have replaced all broken or chaffed wires, and all fuel lines.
I have gone through the carbs, cleaning all ports and jets and in checking the floats were still good.
New spark plugs as well.
All put back together besides the fuel tank, I have a direct line to the carbs from an elevated tank to be sure fuel gets to carbs.

Trying to start the engine, I have spark from the spark plugs, and fuel to the carbs, but no fire.

Any thoughts or solutions? Thank you!

Interested to know what you are up to this offseason. What are you doing to get you through to the next snowmobiling season? Activities, rebuilding projects, upgrades, whatever.

This year I traded in my sportsbike for a dual purpose bike. Its been helpful in getting me through the offseason. Been enjoying it a lot more that sportbiking. Still can't wait for this winter though.

90 Indy 400 block won't come off crankcase

I tapped moderately on all sides of the 90 Indy 400 block with my rubber mallet, plus I tried my pry bar and big screw driver for leverage between the crankcase and the block. It didn't budge at all. I sprayed penelube on all the crank-to-block bolts, as they looked to have extra loctite applied. What else can I try? I don't want to put any cracks into her.

F7 EFI Fuel Pressure Reg. Modification

Thinking about doing the fuel pressure mod this year to improve performance in my 2005 F7 EFI. I understand 41 PSI is optimal pressure under load. I have seen a mod where someone teed in a fuel pressure gauge and installed like a 330 mikuni jet in the line to restrict the fuel flow. Would I be better off just getting a fuel pressure regulator and any suggestions as to a good brand to get? Thanks in advance like always for your input.

90 Indy 400 speedo cable

I searched a number of threads, but couldn't find the next steps to figure out why the speedometer isn't working. I uncoupled both ends, and the keys looked fined and it turned no problem one end to the other.

When I re-coupled the crankcase end to the three-bolt unit and turned the belt (which turned the track), no turn happened on the speedometer key. Do I need to remove the three bolts from that crankcase unit? I don't know what's back there and might fall out. Just want some reassurances I won't have any mishaps with parts flying out after I remove those three bolts.

I can get to the bolts without removing anything else, as everything is off the block.

Thanks, Eric.

Hi guys, my 2000 AC pantera 580 seems to have a problem. Upon initial start up, the sled warms up normally but then once warm it does not idle down like it use to. It seems to idle at 2000 rpms.

Puma Skid Mounting

Last week, I was working on the Puma and took a look at the skid mounting. On the Jag, the previous owner had changed the skid mounting; the rear is mounted to the drop bracket; the front to a lower hole in the tunnel. Well, after looking at the tunnel on the Puma, it appears I could do the same. There's a mounting hole in the same spot on the drop bracket and an existing hole in the tunnel to adjust the front of the skid.

I have to imagine they did this to allow for installing a track with a taller lug?

Seat Covers

Each sled needs a new seat cover. The one on the Jag is pretty worn out; split stitches and rips on the side cover. Now, I have an entire pan/tank foam and cover....but it's for a 97+ Jag. Not sure if that cover will fit. I'm not optomitistic. I'll probably sell that setup.

The seat on the Puma is starting to crack to the sides and one of the stitches has separated. It's getting to the point that Gorilla Tape just won't help the situation.

Where's a good place to get seat covers? I've seen a few on E-Bay, but that's it. Any other places to look?

I'm also thinking of bringing this to a semi local upholstery shop to have them fit the covers. Maybe worth the extra few bucks to have it done right.

93 Polaris Indy Trail Deluxe 488 recondition

I tore down the top end tonight on the 488. The carbs looked overall nice, with not much gumming and no noticeable clogs. I carb cleaned 'em nice and clean now.

I attached a few pics for feedback. It was blowing way too much smoke on startup. It'd fill up the 3 1/2 car garage in about a minute. I only had time to run it a few times in the back yard this March before the season ended. Could it be the rings or the jet settings off?

One of the pics shows the rings with the gaps together to show how much gap there still is. I pushed the opposite ends of the rings all the way into the grooves. Best I could figure the gaps were both at 11/32". What is a tolerable gap, before needing new rings? Will new rings give me any exhaust relief? Is it more likely the carbs weren't properly jetted/clogged?

The pistons look to be original, and just with carb cleaner and a rag I was able to take off all the carbon built up on top of the piston and the head. For the 9K miles it looked really clean to me before cleaning. I also felt the piston skirt and the cylinder wall and felt no grooves of any kind. Any telltale trouble spots I should check, like too much play with the piston and its pin?

I did notice that the ring gaps were very close to each other, towards the intake side, when I would have thought they should be 90 degrees left and right of the intake.

The lower cover pic shows left exhaust side oil. I pulled off the spark plug wires from the plugs and oddly/sadly the left spark plug tip had part of the wire end on it. I'll need to buy a new set. Stuff keeps adding up, although doing all the work myself should be some consolation.

While I have the heads off, should I throw any bottom end crank oil in there?

As for jetting, the idle jets s/b turned in all the way gently, then let out three full turns? Acceleration jet or whatever it's called s/b opened 3/4 turn? Idle on startup s/b around 1,500?

Any gasket brands to consider (or don't touch)? Same for piston rings?

Burnt grounds on 94 RXL

I recently picked up a 94 RXL 650 EFI.

I knew there was going to be a bit of work going into this project. As I was pulling the engine for some R n R, I noticed at the rectifier/regulator, the ground wires insulation was burnt in spots and totally melted off in others.

I traced the grounds back to the main plug for the stator and out to the CDI box. At first I thought a mouse decided to eat my wires, I looked closer seen dark thick pieces of insulation just hanging and no wire. I think the Stator is junk, wires completely burnt off all the way back to the coils

What would cause this? Plus I have a naked ground that was in the main loom that goes nowhere.

I'll post more pics of the connectors and stator shortly.

14 Yamaha Viper or 15 Switchback 800?

Puma exhaust rubbing

With the hood off the Puma today, I took a close look at the exhaust. I noticed the expansion chamber was rubbing on the throttle side of the front of the bulkhead/crossmember and a small notch has been worn in the exhaust.

Is this normal? It looks like there's a small rubber bumper the exhaust rests on. I was thinking of maybe using something to shim it for extra clearance.

New nose for the Puma

The nose piece on the puma had seen better days. The hood would wobble when opened and a number of screws were missing between the hood and he nose piece.

I found a good used one on E-Bay for just a tick over $50 delivered. I'd been looking for some time; they don't seem to come up too often.

I need a few more self tapping screws and new pins before installing. But I should be able to get those items at the hardware store.

I took a pic of the old and new one. I'd say about 1/4 of the other one was just missing!

Looking to buy new sled

Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy a new sled, i'm 14, 5'10, 130 pounds.
I have been riding dirt bikes, quads, seadoos, and snowmobiles since i was 3.

right now I have a 2002 mxz 500, but for the type of riding I do witch is deep snow/powder and a bit of trails it just isn't enough.

I was looking at 03\04 rev's but I was wondering if there is anything better for around the same price.

Budget: 3000$ ish

thanks for replying :)
