I finally got to ride my sled for about 600 yards uphill(about full throttle) and boy was it a blast. But not thinking right I killed the engine once I got to flat ground let it sit for about 20 min, while I went and had a talk with my grandma.
It would not start again even spraying a little bit of gas into the carbs, so I was forced to walk back home grab the quad and lock the ski's with rope and tow it back down to the shop. This was fun as well :)
I went up a few days later to try my luck with starting and it was a no go. So it got me thinking that once the engine gets hot it looses all compression, I have tested compression when cold and it is near the low end of the spectrum. Or maybe that hard run destroyed them once and for all.
The guy that I received(free)the sled from, said the same thing it will run good and strong for about 10-15min then die and not start again.
Unless someone has any other ideas I'm open to suggestions...
This is just an update to my previous posts, finally got about 4 inches of snow to test.
To all who are new my sled is a 1983 Polaris Indy Trail 440.

I think my cylinders are worn out.
