Well I posted this sometime ago and had some great suggestions. Let me tell you my story...

Yes I have a old sled 1999 500 xc I have done all my own maintence on the sled and so it is has held up very well.

This past year I did replace the track and the 4 bearings ( replaced these every 5k )

Now when starting from a stop I can accelerate fine. Throw snow but when running 40-50mph 55k-6krpm if I want to peg the trottle I have no power. It will take it's time getting up near 7k rpm then it will rap like normal.

Our first thought has been to the clutching. 2ndary. I replaced the buttons and spring and cleaned it up good.

Same thing this past weeked. I have a comprestion checker that I will see if it and engine leak of sorts but was hoping for any our ideas?

I will be pulling the carbs to clean and inspect again ( done at the begining of the year ) I saw a thread from another sledder that some fuel line hoses were rotting out just so.

Hey Thanks in advance !

Check the primary, for sticking or worn weights. Also, make sure the outer sheave slides smooth and freely on the shaft.

Well I wanted to report back about my sled. I did a compression check of the sled.. 115/80

:(

Looks like I have finally wore the sled out at 15619 miles !!

Gonna open her up and fix but believe it's time to upgrade.

How is the new Po Rush suspension?

TX all

That's a bummer man, but if mine makes it that long, I have another 5k to go! Its been a good sled, and the Kids love riding it, friends as well, always a good backup sled!

Let us know how the rebuild goes if you do.
