06 Fusion 600 -explanation for blown engine...does this make sense?

A good way to check to see if your carb boots are leaking is to spray starting fluid around them with the sled running. If the idle increases you most likely have a leak.

my carb boots on my indy 500 have cracks all over them but not tears that leak any air. my old indy trail had the same miles and never had a crack on the carb boot. What exactly besides your guys' 06 poo problem would cause a carb boot to go bad? just because of how old it is?

lots of factors... on the ski doo 600's it was a weight issue with the carbs and airbox not supported real well. Also corrosion of the alum mount plate at the rubber boot joint on the 800's. The ethanol in the fuel is a killer on rubber too. Mostly heat and vibration though, and the thinner boots compared to the old days when they were 1/4" thick.

of course, lets make everything weaker eh!

I had the intake boot come apart on my 08 700 last year. Polaris basically put a new motor in my sled. One head was reused. The rest was new. All on Polaris's dime. Oh and I got the updated intake boots. Dont worry this happens to SKI-DOO's also.

So in other words polaris has not learned from there mistakes. Why offer an update if they still fall apart. I am confused.

A person should not have to check there carb boots every year for cracks,delaminating, or leakage. What ever happened to quality. for this really upsets me. Sorry

Welcome To Polaris

Go online, find a Polaris parts micro fiche like (Polarispartshouse.com), see how many items have a substitute part number, not just for your sled but all others, those are items that we as devoted Polaris (ginnea Pig) sled owners have to pay for when they break without recalls. I thought Computer software put out to public use before the bugs are worked out was called (Beta) I didn't realize it meant snowmobiles also.

not to get off subject but can this happen on Efi motors or does the computer adjust the fuel mix if there is an increas in air?
