Steering problem

polaris_indy22 — Fri, 24 May 2013 03:50:49 GMT

Ok so tonight I was finishing up my carb cleaning. I got the air box back on(pain in the ass) and I went to test me turning to make sure there was no right wires or cable. When I turned the bars to the right I noticed a catch in the steering. Upon further investigation I found this.

Those two parts rub and have been for some time because the head of the built is worn. So at some time the ski hit something.

What do you guys think would be my best bet for fixing this problem?

I was thinking of heating up the piece that the tie rode and the top of the spindle are connected by

Patrickvw — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:36:18 GMT

Hi. I have a 95 580 and I have a chance to get another one but with a 500 motor in it that has blown pistons. I have extra 580 cylinders. Does anyone know if the 580 cylinders fit into the 500 block to make the motor a 580. Thanks

Hand grip replacement?

Martie — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:30:27 GMT

Hey, I am about to replace the cracked throttle housing on my 2004 summit 800 but I am unsure of the best way to put the new grip on once it's ready. Someone said to plug it in and heat it up first. Makes sense to me but is that the best way?

What kind of trailer do I need?! Help

Sledwarrior — Sun, 19 May 2013 23:03:13 GMT

Hi guys,
Haven't been on here in a while, but I am moving to Peoria IL and going to get snowmobiles. I have 2 dirt bikes, and work on many peoples lawnmowers/small engines so that's what I will be using the trailer for and of course the snowmobiles. What size trailers do you use I am wanting a open air trailer with slide out ramps or the ramp that folds down. I think I would need to be at least 6 ft wide by 10 ft long to fit snowmobiles on it? Would this work for 2 snowmobiles? Do you have any pictures on what you guys use or info. Yes I will install a salt shield so that won't be a problem.
Thanks
Jake

Enticer 300 spark issue

sachmo101 — Sun, 19 May 2013 00:43:47 GMT

I've got an Enticer 300 twin that is going onto a go kart. I brought it home and fired it up with good spark. A week later i go to start it and now i have no spark. ive checked the coil that goes to the plugs by hooking it up to my el tigre and got spark from it. I then figured it must be one of the two internal ignition coils. I hooked up my multimeter and got 3 volts out of the really small one and on the larer one the voltage jumped up to 30+ before the multimeter displayed overload. Do these voltages seem in spec? if so the problem must be in the cdi box correct?

question on extending a 2010 turbo dragon

pigsticker — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:05:50 GMT

I have a 2010 750cc turbo dragon IQ that i'm thinking about ordering an extension kit for. Currently it is a 121" but i'd like to take it to a 144" with 1.352" lug. The kit comes with the track, rail extensions and tunnel extension. Hyfax is extra but reasonable. Anyway, any recommendations on this procedure? Any other parts I may need?

What about clutching or gearing? Any combinations I should look at? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Questions about switching an Assault from a 1.352" to a 2" track

pigsticker — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:01:36 GMT

I have a 2013 Assault 800 SWB in a 144" track. It came with a 1.352" cobra lug and I am considering moving up to camoplasts challenger 2" track. I use this sled for the mountains so that is my reason for going to the 2".

Anyway, is there anything else that needs to be done or changed besides the track to get this machine to run properly. A friend of mine though that maybe the gears in the chain case need to be adjusted and different clutch weights used to get proper RPMs.

Anybody ever done this exact thing or have some advice?

Formula 500 Summerizing

rudeboy612 — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:50:26 GMT

I'm new to the forum and am just starting to get into snowmobiling after moving back to the northeast after college. I just picked up a 97 Formula 500 and had a few questions about summer storage. Any good pointers for storing the sled/engine over the summer? Do I summarize it like I winterize my outboard? Any pointers would be appreciated, especially if you have the same sled or a similiar one. I really don't know where to start and I'm very eager to learn. Please help a new sledder out and much appreciated!

Looking for 144"x15"x2" track in very good shape

pigsticker — Tue, 14 May 2013 06:14:04 GMT

Does anybody have a 144"x15"x2" 2.52 pitch take off track that they are willing to part with? My sled is a '13 but looking for a decent price on a good-very good condition track. Don't want to spend the big bucks on a new one since i'm not sure how much it will improve my sled. If you have one and want to sell it please contact me.
