Polaris Indy trail 488 - Will it RUN?

[@hobokid907]

How can you sit in that shop and just inhale that shit😂 you’re a fuckin champ

[@AlOdd123]

Well I’d say the new heater is kickin ass Shorts and t shirt! Nice! Nothing like working in comfort.

[@abelm4865]

Those snowmachines are gold, and they do run foreverrrrrrrrrrr... the engine still was running flawlessly and just the chassis was giving out

[@antebellummusic7076]

We had about 3ft of snow last winter and got snowed in for 4 days. We didn't have anything that could get through it, and the 4wd tractors were a mile away. I hated being stuck in the house, so I waited until summer and bought a snowmobile for $200. This exact model. Perfect condition, the feeder tube in the gas tank fell off so it wouldn't run. The suspension is ceased, but that can be fixed with a little PB blaster. It runs okay now, but I just got back from being pulled home cause I ran out of gas. Mine's pull start though. I didn't even know they came with electric start. Lucky so have that, too, cause being stuck in 2 degree weather is not fun.

Just hot boxing in 2 stroke smoke. Love it

[@alaskarailroad3996]

Nice derek. I real liked these old 488 fanners. There like a chevy 350, or a L.S. there super reliable.

[@AKproXR]

Who’s Derek? Lol

[@backburner2128]

First real sled I ever rode right there! When I was five years old in the late eighties I used to pull all the other kids in the tow behind sleigh with it. GOOD OL TIMES!

[@ColinFisher]

I just got my 95 Trail Indy Deluxe 488 running after the thing had sat dry for three years. Mine wouldn’t go at first either, but I found similar problems. After I took the fuel pump apart and changed some dried out fuel line she fired right up. My battery was frozen and dead so I couldn’t crank on it like you did. It would have been helpful to see your video first. Good work! 👍

[@drshazam8722]

I just pulled the carbs off my 94 trail deluxe and was having the same issues you did. Probably should pull the tank and get the varnish out

[@jameslaurinitis7580]

The early Indy fan!! Brings back some great memories! The 90 Indy 500 sp...forgettaboutit!! My first serious sled. Decker twin pipes...wish I held on to it. The freakin stories lol!! Awesome my Bro...totally love the vids! You and Todd Cline keepn it alive!!

[@rickythomas8598]

Love the vids man, really helps me when I have to work on my pro x 700, keep it up

[@tritonboi8131]

Crazy timing, I have a 88 Indy In the back shed that’s been sitting for years after the CDI went bad I believe. Made plans to pull it out and into the garage to work on it tomorrow and saw this. Hope I can get it going again.

[@ripsaw5003]

I got my child hood sled back.. 1980 polaris gemini.. fucking love that sled

[@AKproXR]

Siiick. Mine was is a mid 70’s colt 340 SS. Can’t remember what year it was exactly. Been on the hunt for one

[@ripsaw5003]

@@AKproXR yea .. .. they are usually black white and red.. I had one that was blue and yellow. Colts are very reliable sleds.

[@jameslaurinitis7580]

Oh yeah almost forgot to mention...7 litre Evacuator fluid recovery tool manual hand pump or air compressor powered tool are on Ebay pretty reasonable. They work great for sucking out gas tanks and coolant systems. Just finished pulling and installing the motor on my 04 Pro X 800. Maybe lost a half cup of coolant in the bulk head. It works that good! My fuel tank had a broken cap also. Was able to suck out ALL the contaminated fuel. Just passing this along to help out anyone.

[@thatmodshop7160]

@AKproXR Keep it up man!! Look forward to new years

[@ChickenParm152]

hey man i think the starter motor works

[@TickenLifters]

Love these i got one about 2 hours ago motor locked solid after soaking it with wd40 and beating the primary with a bord and hammer un siezed it and eventually got it going within a hour after sitting 3 years

[@jeffnicks2128]

had one of those back in the 80s we rode 2 up on it that thing had some pull! you laid off for the winter? have a good one

[@AKproXR]

Was laid off last spring thanks to COVID. Should be headed back to oilfield in a month or two, at least that’s the rumor.

[@gala83filmstaylorg7]

How did the ride go?

[@AKproXR]

It didn’t. After getting it running, I found the steering is COMPLETELY locked up at the lower post mount. I’m pretty much over it.

[@monkeydoctorofthelostworld7468]

I can't believe you cranked on that starter that long, I'm surprised it didn't roast it.

[@hugoholmberg6126]

I have an 488 mountain mod with slp pipes but it runs bad, it’s like it bogs when you go top speed, what do you think is the problem? (I atlest think that it has to heavy weights in the primary clutch)

[@MrDbeau716]

Today I found a 1990 sks 650 for $500 not running but has spark and compression. Condition not great but then I found a 91 650 wedge which is in excellent shape just no paperwork and the guy is asking $750. Looks bone stock with no pipes. Had a deposit on a 98 xcr 600 but am now considering the 91 650 for $750. The xcr i got for only $850. Has a rough cowl but runs great! Decisions Decisions.

[@doshman7]

Number 1 baby lets go

[@seancarroll6493]

Was so glad to see you uploaded again haha

[@gavinneubauer5536]

To go off my tangent earlier keep the 500 because more power and more reliable idk your call not mine bit if they both run ooofff that will be a tough call...

[@emfelling8384]

cant beat the old indy trails!

[@IcamanSogge]

Nice now u just need an exhaust fan go for a ride.

[@davidbevins8796]

It'd probably run a lot better if you'd put the airbox back on!

Has to be one of the worst examples of mechanics. Not even checking the fuel lines after you knew there was water in the tank? Cranking for ever? Working in a small garage full of junk and exhaust?
