    Base gasket help

    These things are really @#$&@(*@(*(# me off. They seem like they're superglued on, i spent 4 hours and got the base gaskets off both bottoms of the cylinders, and the pto side of the case. I am using this thing with a razor blade on the end but it's shaped like a putty knife and the razor blade...

    Polaris head disassembly

    Been messing around with the darn thing for awhile. Seems it won't want to split apart so I can replace the water jacket seal. I don't need to take off the temp sensor do I? any other tricks/tips? It's been inside for awhile now so it's not cold.

    Needle Bearing Help

    Rebuilding a buddy's 01 DOO MXZ 700. Stupid cageless needle bearing is confusing, just wondering if there's any downside to getting a caged needle bearing? Skylar mentioned he tried to and couldn't get it to fit once. I found the specs for the needle bearing for it and it says its a 20x25x23 and...

    What boots and socks do you wear?

    I do not know if the boots or socks are my problem. I wear carhartt wool/synthetic socks with rocky ice fishing boots and my feet get horribly wet. They don't sweat a whole lot, but I just don't get why they get so wet. Just curious how many of you have true snowmobiling boots or have ice...

    Snowmobile Hall of Fame in St. Germain

    Can you access it by trail? It says their off-season hours are 10-5 on thurs-fri and 10-3 on sat. does that mean they're open more often in the winter or not? And does it cost anything to get in? Thanks. I'm real close to there and thought it'd be cool to check it out.

    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...

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...
