    Split rail ski's

    Anybody try them? i'm just curious. The design doesn't seem all that appealing, seems it would be sorta weak.

    Now what do I do?

    I'm replacing the motor mounts on my 99 XC 700 and well... I got problems! I have the motor lifted up about 4 inches sitting on a block of wood right now. I'm trying to get the front clutch side mount off. The 2 parts of the mount split in half and I don't have much rubber to grab onto with a...

    Is JD slow for anyone today?

    It was so slow at school, it wouldn't even load at all. Got home and it's super slow, takes about a minute to load every single thing i click. Anybody else experiencing this? Just curious. Is it possible you guys are doing something to the site?

    Polaris secondary disassembly

    I'm looking in my manual and none of the clutches look like this one with 3 screws on the helix (i took the 3 screws out already, they're hex screws). I took off the snap-ring and nothing is coming apart. Is this a sign it's bad? I plan on disassembling it to clean it, put a new spring in, and...

    What did Santa bring you?

I got a 26 gallon air compressor that came with an impact wrench and an air ratchet, now i got 2 impact wrenches! I got some cool tshirts, lots of...

    clunk clunk clunk when braking moderatly

    Does this mean a jackshaft bearing is going bad? It feels as if the clunk is coming from the clutch side? It still makes a minor click every once in a while when coming to a stop. Since the trails are junk and i ain't riding them no more, i'll probably take off both clutches, take apart, and...

    sled runs like garbage - intake backfire?

    Sled's a 99 Polaris XC 700. Sled takes off fine, no bogginess whatsoever. The minute i let off the throttle, it gargles and sounds like an intake backfire. I rode like it all day. Plugs look good. I even put in new plugs halfway thru the ride. Could it be the diaphragm in the fuel pump? Or...

    My plugs look lean

    It's a 99 XC 700. Stock jetting is 190 mag and 185 pto and i'm running 190 on both sides. They don't look super scary lean but a lot leaner then i'd like. When i let off the throttle, it kinda makes a puffing sound (almost like a super mini-backfire, this sound is really hard to explain). But...

    Antifreeze leakin out of the head

    I've pretty much established that the o-rings need to be replaced. My first question, is that since it was ran dry (i lost my coolant due to a stud) it sat for a little bit, could the o-ring have dry-rotted? Onto the next question(s)-i think i know everything i need to do, please correct me if...

    RC Mod Build

    Tore my RC snowmobile apart today, i bought the 96 cent paint from menards because i knew it dried quick. I had all these parts all over the kitchen table and we pushed the stuff into piles and made room to eat somehow. I had spaghetti by the way lol. I stripped the thing all the way down to the...

    Anybody ever put sea-foam into oil?

    It says on the bottle/can that you can do so, just wondering if its worth trying...

    Slight bog issue

    Figured i might as well just ask before the snow flies. I figure it just needs new fuel run thru it and possibly a new fuel filter... but... this is about my 99 poo xc 700. I start it up, idles fine and whatnot. I give it some gas, doesn't bog at all, but when i let up on the throttle, it bogs...

    Electrical wire running to the throttle assembly on a 91 phazer?

    Me and acatzl550 were working on a 91 phazer. We broke off this electrical wire that was connected to the throttle. We didn't possibly think it could've done anything, so we put it back together and started it up. It ran, but wouldn't idle at all. So, we sat and tried adjusting the throttle to...
