Polaris Sportsman 700 Overheating, Melted Waterpump Impeller

[@GunsNReloads]

Good job on the video! I just picked up one almost exactly like that a few weeks ago and haven't started on it yet. 2002 700 twin. It's in good cosmetic shape but needs a lot of work and I don't even know it it runs...but I only paid $400 :) Thanks for the videos!

You can do it! Thanks for watching!!!

Same thing happened to my 600, so picked up a aluminum impeller

[@montemania198210]

I usually upgrade them to aluminum however didn’t have one in stock and customer wanted quad back ASAP lol.

[@kawasakikfx700guy8]

@@montemania198210 ya I had to ordered on eBay, took about a month to come in, but don't want it to over heat on me again in the trails lol

[@vastianvergara5445]

Thanks for the help....a very well explained video

[@terris-qf7oi]

Question need help pls. Im consider buying a 04 700 sportsman from a guy he says every since they put a after market carb on it that the Exhaust gets glowing red hot and has even melted some of the plastic. Should i run now or be worth trying to fix. Anyway what do you think is the issue? Thxs

[@calvinabbott6920]

If you cannot get a low temp thermostat take it out and use a washer, by the time the thermostat opens it is already cooked and back pressure pushes water into oil.

Do u have a video of you taking transmission apart specially to fix reverse if so would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@patrickconway5542]

Question what side is the fill tube connecting to? The pump side or the return side of the head?

[@chimpes]

Thanks good video!

[@martybrown9356]

Loosened the impeller be for spinning it . Can tell when picture comes back the impeller in out further .

Damn , Good eye man. He pushed on hit and it did not turn. Cut camera and nut is backed off and it turns. He try the old rope ah dope on us , lol.

[@narajuna]

Your are lucky mine the pump is behind the crankcase, wonder if its also platic, she overheaded and worped my head :( Radiator sensor appears bad, but so fast to heat, and it overboiled into reservoir, I'm trying....

[@montemania198210]

All the waterpumps on Polaris are the same. All have cover which the impeller is behind.

[@narajuna]

@@montemania198210 No not same, seen few models, some are independant outside access, mine is way behind the pully, 2 covers to remove, and no thermostat insight.

[@benjaminthorbjrnsen6509]

Where do you buy parts for your 700?

[@montemania198210]

Partszilla or babbits

[@montemania198210]

Also power sports nation for used parts

[@joenelson2023]

I have a 03 700 got a hole in the radiator and changed it and now I’m getting coolant pushing out of the overflow I’ve burped it. I did notice a few drips off the water pump seal think that could be it?

[@mikehodge1634]

Hey I have a 2011 Polaris 700 two up I have a new radiator in it and the engine spitting and sputter and put a new stator in it new plugs empty the fuel out of the tank new fuel would this cause the thing to spit and sputter the fuel pump regulator not to fuel pump I meant the water pump thanks

[@montemania198210]

Water pump leaking won’t cause it to spit and sputter. I would strongly recommend doing a compression test. Let me know what your compression readings are. Make sure you hold throttle wide open when checking compression

[@jaywinters2483]

Bean counters at corporate Polaris made this impeller out of heat-sensitive plastic. I bet Honda & Yamaha didn't. (?). And the cover shouldn't be plastic either.

[@rickcoleman8903]

Replacing mine with metal.

[@montemania198210]

Excellent choice
