Sorry about posting the twice. 1st version had a copywrite issue with some background music. Let me know what you like / don't like about this video and how I can improve my content.
400 dollar sled? an aggressive ultra?? what??? heck of a find man. very familiar with that era and machines. wrench on my man. from one Vince to another 😂 happy holidays from Northwest Alaska. subbed!👊
It's very cool that you can fix all that stuff by yourself. I bought a 2000 Polaris Indy 500. It needed a lot of work. It's been in the shop twice to get repairs. And the last guy that worked on it, He knows his snowmobile's. He told me that I have the wrong skis on it. He said those are Yamaha skis. Are they interchangeable? Just curious it runs fine. The way they are, but I really would like original equipment on it.
Skis can be interchangale depending on the mounts. I would just run it as is and see who ti steers and feels. You could later look for used skis on facebook marketplace or get aftermaket C&A or Skydog skis
Ya, we did not know what we were getting into. The original weld, was very thin so I’m quite sure it will be fine. It’s doing fine a few winters later.
Primary is the small one attached to the motor. It would not release / come off the motor with a puller etc. so I cut it off and installed a better working used clutch.
Very well done! Another classic Polaris back on the snow. Great to see the kids involved in learning how to bring a machine back to life.
Thank-you!

Those water pumps take oil , don't you hear that winning noise kinda sounds like a turbo that's the water pump making that noise.

Thanks Vince! :)
Great work. If maintained it will run run as good for a long time. Awesome video. Thank you. Inspiring.
Thanks! It’s running great now and our kids love it.
Also if it has white smoke still it needs ahead gasket the coolant leaks into pistons and makes it burn coolant blue smoke means good oil 😢
It’s fine now. Just a lot of left over coolant in the exhaust.

Quite the video in the making (over a few years).
Yup, it took a lot longer than I imagined at the start.
You might want to do a coolant leak down test , that looks like you need head gaskets
Its running fine for the past year. Just alot of coolant in the pipe and crankcase.
Great deal😊
Now that it’s working well… :)
Who repaired your water pump if you don't mind me asking ?
I tried to find the person but it’s been three years. If I come across the info I will post it.
Putting that much heat on that clutch you probably melted the in sheath bushing, and probably the crank seal !
I would have never bought that nightmare that welded trailering arm will crack whenever you weld suspension parts they always break

Were are you located
Definitely burning coolant.
Yup, it had a lot in the crankcase and pipe so it took a bit to burn off.
U mean u cut the clutch off not the primary primary is the big one

cool video
Thanks!
Lol might need a head gasket or coolant burnt out
Looks like you moved from the country to a subdivision BOO LOL
