Old Sled Rebuild-Part 1: 1997 Polaris XLT 600 Triple Engine Removal

[@spencermcshane4040]

Thanks for this series of videos. I got a triple 600 xlt for free and I’m trying to rebuild it

[@TufRiverboards]

Woah now.. did you edited out removing the 4th bolt on the recoil housing? I have a bolt coming through with a nut on it. My bottom right bolt changed to a 10mm also..

I'm curious about what cylinder compression was before you tore this whole thing apart .... side note: ... if I don't have the other two plugs in and torqued to 18 to 22 ft lb. My compression tester will read roughly 20 ft. lb. lower than what that cylinder's actually making .... cuz if you suspect a broken ring ... you should maybe do a compression test each cylinder ....

If memory serves me, it was around 50 psi on the PTO cylinder and 120 on the others. This engine originally blew 2 seasons ago due to a carb boot leak and we did a top end rebuild. On our second ride last season the crank seized on the newly rebuilt motor which led to this series. We didn't check the compression due to the fact that the engine was locked. Hope this helps you.

Why not unbolt the pull start instead of cutting

[@dennisdoesitall]

Thank you for your comment. The recoil rope passes through a fitting on the frame of the sled and the handle is outside frame. To remove the recoil completely from the machine the rope needs to be cut otherwise it would hang on the sled from the handle when the engine is removed.

@@dennisdoesitall and ur point lol I always put it on the sled seat saves the knot and cutting bs side of things might be something ur over thinking ur pretty smart but maybe to smart lol

[@dennisdoesitall]

@@davidfirth9342 I never have been accused of being too smart lol but point taken. Your way would certainly work and removes the risk of loosing hold of the rope and unwinding the recoil...been there and done that!
