Just picked up my 1997 xcr 600 last month and stored it in the back of my garage until winter, but i went to take a look at it today and noticed there was gas all over the floor even to the back of the sled. It wasn't leaking when i got it, as far as i know. Any ideas on how to fix it? ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles N4t3r http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51443-xcr-leaking-gas.html http://www.snowmobileforum.com/new-members-forum/51442-hello-ottawa-ontario.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:32:02 GMT Hey there, been out of the game for a few years, looking to get back into it, this seems like somewhere I can get some reading done !

My situation is as follows, i have no brand loyalty, looking to spend between 2k-3k CAD, (i'm in Ottawa, Ontario if it matters) I don't mind going into the US to get a sled. My riding would be mainly trail ( I like ditch banging too ! ) I don't really care about how fast it is on the lake, i'm more of a bomb through the tight trails kinda guy. I just want something strong, comfortable, stable and reliable. Would also like reverse/e-start but not a must. I have been looking mainly at 01-03 mxz's and have heard that the 600 and 700 are strong motors, but my friends keep saying stay away from the 800's ( they say the cranks/bearings fail alot /shrug) Is there any truth to this ? Any and all comments are welcome !

( Previous sleds were a 1989 MX470, 1995 XLT SKS and a 1997 SX600 but I have been out of the game for a few years and am looking to get back into it )
I would like to thank you in advance for any advice and hopefully I have given enough detail about my needs/wants !

Im new to the the world of sleds. Im 26 and this 1981 arctic cat el Tigre 6000 is my first sled. I picked it up for 300 bucks from some old guys shed. it didnt run when I brought it home but I cleaned the carbs and had to cut and splice the wiring harness but she fires right up now. All it needs to be snow ready is some new skis, a thumb throttle(got an old quad one on it to try it only gives a little over half throttle) and a windshield. I dont know much about sleds but someone told me this is a rare sled is this true? My local arctic cat dealer said its a 500cc liquid with 38mm carbs and a single pipe but mine has 530cc on the sides of the heads, dual 40mm mikkies, and twin pipes into a single muffler. All i know is it goes like stink on the grass in the back yard skis dont touch the ground till I let off!!(remember only getting a little over half throttle). From what ive been told the 500 530 and 580 all share the same crank just diff bores and porting and some years had factory twin pipes. Is there anyone out there who can tell me some of the year to year changes on the old 80s Tigres so i can find out what has been done to my sled? Sorry for the long post. Any info would be nice.

I washed down the belly pan to search for it, and it never showed back up, although the floor ended up covered in oil again. I finally saw oil dripping off the front of the track and have it traced back to the (what i believe to be) the low level oil sensor. It is towards the back of the snowmobile on the bottom side of the oil tank. My problem is....I cannot find this part on the parts manual....anyone know where to find it? It has 2 wires coming off of it if that helps. ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles mdbh86 http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51435-oil-sensor.html http://www.snowmobileforum.com/ebay-auction-links-section/51434-polaris-secondary-button-clutch-ebay.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:12:09 GMT STARTING PRICE IS CHEAP!!

I just need to know whether or not this is a decent sled. I've ridden an 05 600 Edge Touring and really liked it but Ive heard mixed opinions on the fan machines. It would be used primarily on trails at 7-8,000 feet elevation, but occasionally in deep snow as it is pretty hard to avoid powder out here. Also may see higher altitude at times. We won't be flogging this sled hard but may rarely run with some 700/800 RMKs. Any and all opinions and advice would be welcomed, thanks ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles rammie http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51432-2006-edge-touring-550-fan-yes.html http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/51431-polaris-fusion.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:50:49 GMT Ok. this may be a stupid question but, what Polaris model took place of the Fusion?
