A couple of tips from an old sledder. Instead of killing your back trying to drag a sled off of a trailer simply tie a rope to the back bumper and to the nearest solid object (tree etc). Then SLOWLY pull forward with your truck and the sled will roll right off. I also don't like checking for spark with the plug right over top of the open spark plug hole. If it's flooded fuel comes out and plug can ignite the mixture causing a fireball outside of the engine which can go bad in a hurry. With a painted cylinder head you can still find a decent ground on the cylinder head bolts to check for spark. Love the channel. As some extra content you could show us what you do with all of this stuff after you fix it. I assume you flip them to buy more.

Well, yeah, but if you learned to ride in the old days, where you learned to ride with your whole body, instead of just the the handlebars, they would go fast no matter where you rode them.

The aggressive chassis doesn't go in the deep snow, period lol idc how you ride it, or which model it is.. and these 600s are fast, but blow up. They are a mash-up of other engine parts straight out of the factory lol and the 600lb chassis doesn't help with either of those. I also have this exact sled, a couple 650s.. (have had other Polaris triples in the past, as well as a SPX Ultra - same sled as this XCR with the 680 instead of the 600) and as fast as the 600 is, they aren't great sleds, none of them are.. Which is why everyone says they go fast in a straight line. (They can also rail trails though, but that's about it) I am putting a piped 650 into an Edge chassis over a stock 600 so it can be reliable at around the same power lol Aggressive chassis just isn't great at much. The Wedge chassis is way better all around, same with a Gen 2, evolved, and Edge is as good as a trailing arm sled can get. Aggressive is def the last choice Polaris chassis

Those sleds use staggered carb jetting to compensate for uneven cooling. I don’t recall exactly which end was hotter. But it’s in the manual. When people take the carbs apart to clean them they don’t realize this and mix things up. You could end up with a hot cylinder (lean) and one cold (rich). So it’s best to verify used sleds. Also those 600 triples can feel a touch slow or weak just after the clutch engages. They really benefit from aftermarket clutching. But just as important is carb sync. It can be roughly done with a few old school tricks. But best done with proper syncing equipment but it’s more difficult using 4 stroke manometers on a 2 stroke. But for $500 it’s a good score. You could triple that money by parting it out with the engine running and good compression.

@oldjarhead386 10 ай бұрын
@@matsmannela9475 Actually I think it has more to do with the direction of coolant flow. It enters one end after being cooled from the heat exchanger, picks up heat and moves on to the next cylinder with coolant that is already warmer so it has less capacity to cool. By the time this happens to the third cylinder it needs to be compensated for. Some two cylinder sleds have this staggering issue also but normally they are air-cooled. But same theory.

Those aggressive chassis polaris sleds are becoming one of the hardest to find and they one made them for 3 years and plus the rarity of the hoods, extremely hard to find in good shape especially the white hood aggressive chassis. primary clutch should engage around 4700 rpm with a stock almond/white spring and it should have a 1066 polaris drive belt. they're some rippers sleds, just had mine doing 105 2 weekends ago.

You need to start using a digital temp gun and check exhaust pipe temps to find the weak cylinders. Look at that same cylinder with the broken plug the exhaust pipe looks different than the other two. Yeah before I did spark or compression test I would swap out the broken plug and try running it again. Keep running the motor. There could be unburnt fuel in the lower crankcase in that cylinder from the fouled bad plug. If you don't sell this you should put the motor in the Raider or that Orange Trike. Nobody wants these old Polaris 3 cylinder sleds. Or make it an ice lake runner.

Keep up the good work fella, I'm learning loads watching your videos, it's like having a personal mechanics school at home. 👍 Ps here in the UK, KZbinrs like yourself have started to raffle off the bikes after finishing them. You could be missing out on more revenew from your work/videos. Your followers would gain by winning a bike quad or vehicle for very little money. 🇬🇧👍🔧 🛠 🔧

i bought a 2000 or 2001 Arctic Cat ZR 440 sno-pro (we call the sled type for Cross-Skoter in Sweden, its a word copy from "DirtBike" in combo with Snowmobile ) With a engine swap to a Arctic Cat 600cc EFI. Seller said first it did not run anymore, and the last time it did run he was experience throttle being stuck wide open. that was a easy fix, i started with cleaning all the CDI box pins for the electric cables. and after that i replaced the really short thorttle wire. that was why it was stuck wide open then he did right side turns. after that it worked pretty good. i did fix bad things on it. replaced skiees from original to boondock skii´s. and other small changes and i made my own version of a "Cross-over" snowmobile it ws pretty nice off-trail. still a very short track. but it was agile AF. no reverse ger bit short and light so i could lift and spin it. track was changed for a used track but with much bitter kam´s for better off-trail snow grip. still not like the boondok sleed but still much more than orginal. the only part i did not fix properly was the frankenstein airbox.. it worked good for 3 winters. cuz we usually dont get this much powder snow as we got this winter. this was a relly nice start on my Swedish winter. usually we get snow and enought snow to ride properly in the woods and trail´s and on frozen lakes. but not "Canadian deep". any how i managed to suck in powder snow to the airbox and I cracked the top cover on the engine, from the spark plug hole all the way out to the edge, visible from the outside, didn't even have to unscrew it for them to crack. so sometimes "dead" snowmobiles are not dead at all. mine i bought for about 600$ USD and did put in another 300-350$ to fixx it. i did ride that sled properly for 3 years :D now tho i have a Lynx Xterrain from 2020 that i replaced my Frankenstein Cat with.

I owned a 96 XCR 600 triple for 20 plus years, Id check to see if the carbs are sync'd that sled should go much faster when you punch that throttle mine would top out at 108 mph.. Clean sled for the price..

God bless the people that just give up on things as soon as it’s not perfect anymore 🤣 I’ve bought so many old wheelers over the years for a few hundred dollars cause they didn’t run and 9 times out of ten it’s something cheap and simple like a carb kit or new plugs or a squirrel nest in the air box and people just don’t know or don’t wanna deal with it. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a machine that ran 🤣

I guess that snow-ski thing certainly deserves it go-faster stripes, good find and fix Bud! 👍🏻 BTW here's an old tip when you're stuck, if you don't have a limited slip diff on your bakkie, put the handbrake on a little - it will stop either of the wheels from spinning and divert torque to both.

Just my opinion but 4 low is more of a hindrance than help in snow it just spins the wheels easier . if you are spinning in 4 high you gain nothing going to 4 low. 4 low is for when power to the wheels is needed like towing heavy loww up a hill. You would have had a better chance putting your truck into second gear in 4 high and gently giving just enough gas to move, as soon as the wheel break loose and spin you are losing traction stop back up and try again. Good to see you got lucky on this one. Fresh plugs and gas is the best way to start with on an unknown machine for me.
