1999 grand touring drive pulley compatibility

I have a 1999 grand touring 500cc engine, and unfortunate the drive pulley is cracked right in half.
I pressed the shaft portion off of the rest of the crankshaft, and noticed it was attached using a morse taper.

Are all other drive pulley/clutches attached via a taper? If so I have an old Polaris 340 that I can pop the pulley and clutch off of. Don't really want to spend the absurd amount of money that that one piece seems to cost.

Want snowmobile that carries a lot of weight

I have never bought a snowmobile and thought it would be helpful if people who know what they are talking about could lead me in the right direction. That's why I am here.

I am looking for a snowmobile that has a high towing capacity. I am looking for something that carries as much weight as possible but I am not sure what to look for. When snowmobile shopping what should I look for to know how much weight it can carry? Thanks.

97 SkiDoo question.

OK. So now that I got my 98 Arctic Cat up and running I`m kind of looking for a second sled. I came across a 97 SkiDoo Formula Plus for $400. the owner says it runs but could use spark plugs. Comes with an extra hood, windshield, new skis and belt. the seat looks taped up. sounds like a good deal. Is there anything to lookout for? Like Arctic Cats with bad drive shaft bearings, is there any SkiDoo known problems?

boosted sled engine build

i have full access to a machine shop to do this so i dont need people replying its to much work or you need this or that to do it i have everything to build it. motor will be designed on cad software first ok i came up with an idea to build a boosted sled engine so im thinking of starting off with the 800 liberty and using some of the guts from it top end rods efi system ect, crank and crankcase will be completely redesigned as for the theory of how this is going to work. so 2 stroke engine works it draws air in through the crank case (not a piston port motor cant boost these with out addition of power valves) well what if i put 2 compressor wheels on the crank one for each piston the crank case would have a compressor wheel casing molded into it. obviously this isnt going to be like a turbo more like a procharger since its spinning at the same speed as the crank. but the compressing of the air is going to create heat so cooling to the crank case area is going to have to be improved also will act as inter cooler as it would be liqiud cooled also there would have to be a better flowing exhuast valve for scavangeing i was thinking of using a petal valve design that was timed with the crank so it would seal the exhaust port off on intake stroke the reason i want to do this is because well itd be twin compressed and no one would be able to tell so it would be a total sleeper motor let me now your guys's thoughts on this thanks!

Rxl throttle position sensor

OK, I've gotten to the point where its ready to be run...but my ecu is flashing 1 long 1 short...11, I think so it comes back TPS.

Is there an issue with the tps? Does or can the ECU store codes? If so, how to delete?

I'll probably need either that select monitor or the computer version. Neither of which I have...

I guess I'm stuck in the water till I can get either.

Weber mpe750 engine upgrades

I am new here and don't own a sled. But I do own several Polaris MSX jet skis that have the same power plant the fst does. In the ski world the weber is frowned on as a misfit and a problem. I know better.

Since there is little to no support other than Randy at weberpower I have been upgrading my weber mpe750 based solely on his and my own experience with engines. So far I have punched it out and sleeved it to 850cc, upgraded the valve springs and retainers to the Ti ones. Upgraded to CP pistons and rods, installed larger head studs, 6mm larger 38mm k03 turbo......


I am currently attempting to port the head but need some guidance. I don't want to hit a water jacket and these heads are thinly casted in places. Does anyone have some pictures or a cross section of this head?

Any advice would be great. Also if you know someone with extensive weber experience point me there way please. Not Mark Queen, he does not have time to help the little people :)

Thanks.

87 indy 400 with xc-100 suspension questions

so i been doing a ton of work on this 87 indy 400. been all thru the skid . turns out this appears to be a xc-100 skid and they were used only a year or two. it was mounted in the stock location. it fits but it makes the track tight with the rear idlers all the way forward. not only that the end of the rails at the back are very very close to the track. it doesn't hit but its oh so close. i know there is no way that is correct. with no tension on the track there is not even any sag. im really thinking i need to move the skid forward 1 inch or so. where would i find the correct dimensions. not sure what it came out of.

97 Polaris Storm running on 2 cylinders

I have been out of snowmobiling for about 15 years now, and purchased this sled as a fixer upper. The center cylinder is not firing, but the kicker of it is, sometimes it fires up and runs backwards, when it does this it runs on all 3 cylinders!!!

I have done a compression check it has 125 psi across the board
I have cleaned the tank and carbs, the cylinder is getting fuel
I have checked the pulse lines and the Fuel pumps, they are both good
I have checked the ignition timing, its right on the factory lines
Ignition system is all good, firing all 3 plugs, I also swapped coils on the cylinders to check for a dead coil.

I pulled the center cylinder apart to check for base gasket leaks, and all is good. Carb flanges are good, as well as the reed valves...

I'm at a complete loss now, I have tried everything I can think of, I hope someone here can shed some light on this for me.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Just bought my first sled - 97 RMK

At $500 I figured what the heck. Started first pull, powder skis and a custom bore kit (although I have no clue what that means)

Guy recommend cleaning the carbs and replacing the seat. So can anyone point me in the right direction on the seat first.

Should I replace it all together with something lighter (there is some foam missing)? Or do I just put a seat cover over it?

Melted coolant lines/Running too hot?

When going thru my 2002 Skidoo MXZ 700 Olympic Edition sled for upcoming season I had a whole melted into the back side of the coolant reservoir on the side closest to the motor. I also noticed slightly melted rib plastic cover for coolant lines, should I be concerned. Was told that it could have been heat exposure for a long period of time. What would cause this?

Chain case oil question!!!!

>:DOK.
I've read all the threads on chain case lube, so I'm sure I'm opening a can (chain case) of worms here! My local guy who has been in business for years said to use straight 30 weight non-detergent motor oil. Seems everyone has their opinion on this. It sounds like it's only going to take 8oz.? Does that sound right? It doesn't look like much came out.

Ski suspension springs too stiff 1990 Indy 500

I totally restored a 1990 Polaris Indy 500 four years ago, put Kimpex oil shocks front and rear. Was not impressed by the ride quality. I replaced all the shocks last winter with Kimpex high performance Nitro gas shocks. I fixed the rear with the new shocks, however the front is still very stiff and bouncy. The springs have absolutely no give to them. I can't find anywhere that I can lighten the springs. Has anyone had this issue, and if so what did you do? The back end floats now like it should, but the front end sucks.

2000 Polaris 700XC Deluxe electric adjustable shock

Noticed when cleaning up sled for upcoming riding season, the wires going to the electric adjustable shock have been pulled out from where they enter the chassis. Most likely by ice and snow build-up. They are cut off clean about 10" long. does anyone know where they go. Opened the wire bundle in the area near where the 2 wires come through the tunnel, cannot find the connection. Looks like I will need to trace the wires all the way from the rocker switch on the handle bars? Any Ideas? I do not have the wiring schematic. Thank You!

90 Indy 400 rebuilt, now no start

I took the head off, cleaned that and the carbs, replaced gaskets although didn't look like anything was amiss. I have the intake air filter plastic unit off right now. I pulled 4-5 times before she wanted to start, then when she did she shortly thereafter revved up, the track shot the dolly out and landed on the floor, then it konked out.

I tried multiple times after that with different settings on the choke to no effect. Didn't want to spray starter fluid in there until I heard from the forum experts.

Can I check anything else before spraying starter fluid into the carb intake sides? Take the hoses off and see if pulling the crank cord pushes gas out?

Indy 400 wiseco warm up

I was going to do some grass drags and was wondering how I should warm up the engine, because I don't have the luxury to take it easy for a few miles in the summer, to prevent a cold sieze because they are forged pistons.

Inop speedo

Now that the sled is running I figured it was time to figure out why the speedo isn't working. I did some internet research and talked to the local sled repair guy (Scholls 4seasons Motorsports, Bartlett IL). All said to check the speedo drive gear. So tonite I did that, found the bearing seized up and the little drive cable snapped. So now to replace those. Cable and speedo themselves are good. After that then I can work on the neglected maintanance. Then it's on to cosmetics. I'll post those questions in the body/cosmetics section.

Future of snow riding

So this was another question that came up on another site. What would you like to see in future machines? Even dream a little outside of the normal.

There is a guy that took a Skidoo rev and narrowed the machine up. I believe he is even going to a single ski. He is predicting that snowmachines will get narrower and more bike like. I don't see that really becoming as popular as current sleds unless some power plant is found that gets ridiculous fuel economy and has the power of at least the current 600's. Mostly because it is very difficult to put a 10 gallon tank on a bike.

What I do think is going to happen is we'll see a return of the SxS snowmachine. Skidoo made the Elite in the past. Last one built was in 2006. They were ahead of their time and expensive. But with the surge in SxS sales in the ATV market, I think they will make a come back on snow. The one key is the price. They won't be able to charge $30k for them. $10k-20k should do alright as SxS ATVs are in that price range.

Future of snow riding

Model year 2016

A similar thread was started on a Skidoo specific site, but I thought I'd ask here where other makers get equal representation...

So what are some of the highlights of the model year 2016 for each of the makers.

1. Skidoo

2. Arctic Cat

3. Polaris

4. Yamaha


Of note about acquisitions, Polaris bought Timbersleds, makers of a bike-style sled. I also learned they have been heavily invested in Klim gear too. That might be old news, I just didn't know.

But onto sleds. I think they all revamped their lineup in some way or another.

Skidoo really didn't do a whole lot to theirs. RAS2 was the biggest news, which added a little more stability through the bumps and a little more suspension travel (.75"). They dropped the GSX line up and made some changed to the Renegades to fill in that class, but they really are not the same. People that looked at the GSX models are probably moving to the MXZs now.

XLT update

Last summer I rebuilt a 94 XLT SKS 600. Took it out for its first run and it ran great for about 100 ft and then fell flat. At first I thought one of the slides stuck open causing issues, but checking that it was fine.

Frustrated, I limped it back to the house and parked it. Didn't even bother looking at it. (have 6 other machines to ride).

This summer I took the pipe and silencer off to discover the silencer was broken and the pipe was pushed up against the baffle inside, probably cutting off flow. Purchased a replacement pipe and put it on this evening. Fired up and it ran fine for about 15 minutes. Of course, no snow yet, so I really can't test it.

What I would like to know is, why can't I get it to run. It idles for a second and dies then it takes more pulls to fart again and nothing.
I put twelve volts to the pump and i can hear it working, and at the same time pressed the bleed valve and gas comes out.
I have been pulling on this thing all day and nothing.....

120" sled on an 8ft trailer

So, now that we got our sled up and running we are looking for a trailer. I came across an 8X8 tilt bed for $200! the guy says its in good shape and that the decking needs a coat of paint. I take that to mean it needs new decking! :rolleyes:

My question is, is anyone using an 8ft long trailer for a 10ft long sled. I will check and see what the GVWR is to see if it will handle the weight of 2 full size sleds. (looking at another sled if everyone likes going out!). if the weight is there I may consider adding a foot to each end of the trailer to make it longer then add new decking.

Otherwise the skis will hang over a foot and the track will just hang over by maybe 6 inches. I really don`t want to spend much at this point. this will just get us started and I can upgrade later when we decide this is for everyone.

After gas like replacements, gas line problems

For my '93 Deluxe, I came to the sad reality that I must have connected the gas lines incorrectly. I put it all together a week ago, and just now tried cranking it over. It did start for few secs, but took a long time to do so, and I was very puzzled when I saw gas coming out of what must have been an unidentified hole in my exhaust pipe - right at the bottom of the first curve.

I removed the exhaust pipe, and as I proceeded to pull the cord, I saw gas coming out of the exhaust manifold - every time, even after I had switched the gas on/off valve to off. Could someone please post a diagram with the three hoses coming out of the proportioning valve, or whatever it's called that's bolted to the bottom side of the tunnel?

My hunch is that as I was pulling the cord, I was throwing gas not into one of the carbs, but into the bottom side of the crankcase. I'm going to pull the hoses off the carbs to start with, and if one is dry, then the hoses are certainly not correct.

100 compression with new gaskets only - how long still okay

For the Polaris snowmobiles I picked up this spring, I checked them after doing top end checks/gasket replacements. I know, should have done the compression checks first. All four cylinders read 100. I took both plugs out of each motor, then with the compression tester pulled the cord 5 or 6 times. Is there a more accurate reading possible, like if I start the motor with the non-test plug still in place to allow it to run, albeit half-powered?

I've read they should be at or above 120, but is it really that serious to let them run at that compression a few more years? The rings, piston tops and walls, and the cylinder walls all looked fine - on the '93 Deluxe with 7,700 miles. Can't say the same for my '90 Indy as the head unit wouldn't budge. The guy's son said he put over 100 miles on it the weekend I picked it up after his trip. The piston tops looked fine, and so did the exhausts.

As I plan to keep these plenty more years, I'll budget next year for the .010 boring, new pistons with pins/rings, and gasket kits.

1977 ski doo olimpique track drive sprocket replacement

I recently purchased a sled from a local guy. Sled wasn't running. Long story short I have it running like a top. I took it out for a trial run to be shure it's ready for snow and shelled out the track drive sprockets. The previous owner said he installed a different track and I didn't think much of it. The "correct fit" for this year of sled is http://ift.tt/1T23PgE that link the one I tore out of my sled is in the attached picture. I'm positive my flanges will not bolt up to the "correct" sprocket. I'm wondering if anyone knows what sled this drive shaft/sprockets came out of in case the previous owner swapped it out.

polaris xlt, rxl handlebar risers

Greetings,

I'm sure this topic has been covered in some detail.

As we all know , the old wedge chassis sat low in the front and when a talk guy like me stands up...we're all hunched over and that tires out the back and you have to sit.

I'm concidering risers for both my 95 xlt and 94 RXL. I know if I go taller than 2 in I'll have to find cables and hoses....anyone make stuff for these sleds anymore? Or am I stuck with a 2 in riser?

2 in is much better than the stock position as it is...

Hoping for so.e insight here.

Thanks.

2008 Polaris switchback 600 dragon

I have found a deal on kijiji for a 2008 Polaris switchback dragon 600 with only 600 miles is this a good sled? Is it reliable? Or I might be buying a 2006 Polaris switchback 600 with 6700 km is it a good sled? Is it reliable?

polaris carb update

finished rebuild on carbs and fuel pump, started and seems to run good,idle is at 1500, but every now and then will fluctuate between 1400-1600, my question is should the idle be rock steady or is this normal for a 2-stroke,thanks again, and also now will restart with 1-pull after waiting all different time periods, but i think the cold winter weather should have a effect on the restarting, so will still have to be proven

may as well rebuild the indy 400!

well been doing lots of work on the indy 400. i knew the compression was down but was just gonna run it for the season then came across another issue. seems i have a little coolant getting into the oil somehow. im guessing slight head gasket or base gasket leak? both cylinders had 100 psi and thats no good.sled has 5000 miles on it and i.ve got alot of time in fixing and replacing all the worn out stuff. rather then screw around i've decided to rebuild now. motor is all out and disassembled. pistons looked decent with next to no wear but the cylinders have a little wear. i can just ever so slight feel at the top of the cylinder the wear. probably could have just honed and stuck a new set of rings but decided to go way over board! i found 2 new spi pistons and rings with wrist-pin .010 over for 39.00 shipped and a full spi gasket set for $32 shipped. just need to order wrist pin bearing and sealer for the cases. once i get the pistons i can take the cylinder down for a bore. i see others have used permatex motoseal to reseal the cases and i think i will too. its made and advertised just for this and is gas resistant. hopefully everything will come together without a hitch. its been along time since i've had anything bored so im not sure what thats gonna cost.

may as well rebuild the indy 400!

Change out pivot arms and bushings

Any tricks on getting seized bolts out. I am replacing my front pivot arm on my Srv . The bolts are stuck in the bushings. Drilled holes in each arm and sprayed deruster oil. Then tryed heating them up and pounding them out but no luck. Hate to cut the bolts. Any info would be nice.

Male snap and rivet on '90 Indy 400

I am totally happy with how my $50 seat/tank&cover/storage rack restoration has turned out. I used acetone on the vinyl, and it cleaned up so well that I only needed one vinyl dye spray session to make it look like new. I did have a rip at the butt seam that I couldn't do anything underside with, so I used the redi-grip stuff for dunking wrenches into, and that turned out awesome as well. Not like new, but doubt I'll have any more rips there.

On to the subject... the gas tank cover for the Touring that's going on my sons' 90 Indy 400 has only three snaps per side, whereas the 93 Polaris Touring tank cover has four. The front three seem to match perfectly tunnel-to-new cover, but I need male snaps and rivets attached to the tunnel for the fourth female snaps on the cover.

Anyone here done something like this? I'm all ears. I saw male snaps (7080227) on eBay for a few bucks, but I've not dealt with rivet installations before (7621222). I think I have a rivet tool in my garage that I've never used.

Can these male snaps and rivets be bought at Ace or Menards? I'll head over there later today if I don't have any feedback before. Thanks, Eric.
