Seller Said This $500 Sled Wouldn't Run Right...I Fixed It In 10 Minutes

[@jetstreek17]

With all the Lemon's you have had to deal with over the years, you deserve an easy one. Thanks for bringing me along today, I enjoyed it.

[@charlescooke8776]

Thought same thing.

[@MrStroker408]

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.

That Polaris 600 triple is a beast! Somebody mentioned above that they would go fast in a straight line? 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. I miss those days when it wasnt a lazy mans sport! Great pickup, man!

[@POLARIS.INDY.ADDICT]

Hell yea man, love the ol polaris triples, my name says it all, i just picked one of these up actually, its no storm 800, but still a beast💯

[@stephenstevens6573]

@@POLARIS.INDY.ADDICT I had an Indy 500. I let a friend borrow it, and he wrecked it. Damn shame. It was one of the more reliable sleds I ever had. I've moved to Ohio since, so I don't ride anymore. Big difference between living in the lower peninsula of Michigan to Ohio. I miss it. Bad.

[@POLARIS.INDY.ADDICT]

@@stephenstevens6573 yea those little 500s are reliable as hell for sure, ive owned a few, my brother has one at the moment and it has under 2000 miles, great sleds to cruise the trail on, and not a pig on fuel either lol

[@ALMIGHTYGARAGE]

What part ohio you in ​@stephenstevens6573

[@CobaltOntarioadventures]

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

Hey Joe, if you plan on keeping this id highly suggest putting a temp gauge on it. Also let it warm up for a bit before taking of, that way, you dont cold seize it

[@danielbjorkstrand1474]

Great video as usual, and what an awesome deal! But cylinder 2 and 3 are still running way too lean. The clutch side plug looks about right, that's how all of them should look like, not the other way around. I bet you have an intake leak on 2 and 3.

[@fairbanksairriders]

Check the plugs again after riding it. It might not be fixed…

[@redhawkvalley]

I used to have this same sled. That old triple was fast in a straight line, for sure!

[@oldjarhead386]

BTW, when stuck don’t unhook the trailer unless you have to. Put the sled on the trailer as far forward as you can. That weight over the truck axle can be huge.

[@johnstempien468]

Clean sled! Looks like it was well taken care of. That was a very popular sled, they were everywhere back in the day. I don't care if it's old. This goes to show you that all it takes is to give your sled attention and it will last. My sleds are 22 & 25 yrs old and I still love them. With the price of the new ones as high as they are you're gonna see and are seeing people hang on to their old one's. Can't believe it.....just a bad spark plug!!!

[@staygold902]

Sold both my sleds a couple years ago. We never get any good amounts of snow anymore, here it is the end of January and basically none to speak of. Sucks though they are probably my favorite machine, a good sled is a rocket ship

I would always try replacing plugs before I deemed my project a no-fix. Can you imagine finding out that you gave a 600-dollar discount for a set of bad plugs?

[@just_in_time5518]

Bad day for that seller!

[@YouriCarma]

Yeah exactly. First thing I would do is new spark plugs and put a clean air filter in there. btw you can't always see if an air filter is clean from the outside. Seen filters looking perfect but full of fine dust.

​@@kevinalbers1084my cheap 2 stroke snowblower doesn't have an air filter either. Why is that ?

[@satansleftnut25]

$2500 discount.

[@stephenirwin2761]

Great luck on this buy and fixing it so fast! I think the plug was cracked and not firing. Normally 2 stroke sledders always carry a spare set of plugs in the toolkit when they ride. I also noticed you had no spare belt when you opened the shroud - that is another must have spare part. I think the previous owner was riding on the cheap and taking chances not carrying spares.

[@POLARIS.INDY.ADDICT]

Just picked up the same model of sled same year as well, things are wicked for a 600cc

[@bryankerr69]

That's good that it was an easy fix. Looks it still needs a little carb adjustment. That Bombardier is awesome. I would never get rid of that thing. It's your workhorse. Now you just need a good track loader. A poll building on the property would be a great addition too. Thanks for sharing.

[@oldjarhead386]

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.

[@Motoxr32]

Best comment. I hope he reads this. The guy said he cleaned the carbs. Wonder if he installed them in wrong order.

[@matsmannela9475]

Usually the middle cylinder. It gets hitter so it has a bit richer jetting

[@innocentcreations1996]

@2vintage exactly this!! And also try a new belt

[@oldjarhead386]

@@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.

The EFI’s 600 XCR’s had the issue as well……the third cylinder would grenade from heat.

Good job narrowing down troubleshooting good deal just for being a spark plug or two anyway the PTO main clutch usually the carbs are set for one size up on the main to keep it a little bit richer that goes with the XLT’s and your XCR I’ll notice when you take the carbs apart if you ever do it will be one main jet richer on the drive clutch just a word of advice as I owned many Polaris triples have fun and keep warm

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.

[@eagle777dh]

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.
