thats what I like about the older sleds, you pop the hood and everything is right there, you did all this in just a few minutes. cant do that with the newer rigs. hope the owner gets better at not forgetting like who does that
These cylinders are Nikasil correct ? Also is it correct that SS model designated sleds ..ski-doo's...are sleeved cylinders ? Getting ready to tear down my 97 A. Cat EXT DLX , last ride no idiot light came on , buuuut when unloaded off the trailer cpl weeks later ...My coolant reservoir is empty & have 2 large gouge channels in the front heat exchanger . Not looking forward to the tear down & possible fix , luckily i have 2 more exchangers identical , BUUUT the labor to change will be no picnic if the engine is ok .
I’ve had several Liberty 600s. They have a good reliability reputation. 4200 miles for the era motor isn’t too much depending on the rider. Bad mistake. The Patriot rigs have an automatic shutdown
Never had a sled but if I got one I want one of these polaris. 00-02 red indy or the blue edge. 600-800 they seem like good sleds but what do I know? Any experience riding them?
Yeah a lot of guys do. If you have studs and carbides you can run it on the lake without snow without worrying about overheating. Some of the liquid cooled guys buy ice scratchers to kick up snow and that works too.
you must hate doing everything with one hand in your vids?lol.your a better man then me for doing it as it sucks a lot with 2 hands!!!either way enjoy your vids,but most enjoy your atv vids,but this time of the year,i will take what i can get from you!!!thanks,take care!!!
A few years back i bought a red 02 edge x 600 and when i went to look at it, the track was frozen to the ground. It ran well and i got a good deal so i said ill be back with a trailer later today to get it. The guy thought he was going to do me a favor by unfreezing the track before i got there. He let it idle for almost an hour and then got it freed up. He didnt know anything about sleds and i asked him how he got it unfroze after i loaded it up. He told me and i already bought it so i said well if she blows then i guess she blows lol...2000 miles later i sold it after pounding the crap out of it...still running great. I guess i got lucky 😂
It must've been decently cold out. The cold air coming in plays a small part in the cooling as well and the heat exchangers can cool it some without snow, especially if the wind is blowing. You got lucky though!

Never knew or been around sleds much. Thanks for the heads up if I get 1 sometime.
Absolutely!
Rebuilding a engine outside in the snow, with one hand, no gloves on, and while video taping.... Now that takes talent!
Good example of people who say new vehicles have "too many electronics". A simple temp sensor safety switch could have saved all that.
Yeah luckily the new sleds shut down before this can happen.
Wow. She got hot! Used engine is probably the best route to go.
oh well, what a shame. If I had it my way, this would warrant for a 800 swap.
Not a bad idea, some folks like the 600’s better though.
Split the difference, the 700 is better than both

Buy a used engine. Id bet it needs new crank bearings too. Used engine would be most cost effective or buying a crashed one with a good engine
That’s probably the way we’re going to go I’m guessing.
HOLY CRAP THAT GOT HOT LOOK AT THE HEAD😂😂😂 things supposed to be red. Mine never got discolored when it idled like i said...wow
Maybe it was longer than an hour of idling for this one then😅

Ohh man I literally just had to have this conversation with a customer when he brought it bk for overheating issue lol 😂
Keep us updated how thos turns out!
How long did he leave it Idling for 2 hours
Over an hour..
Might not be the way to go for this engine but, I've used muriatic acid to remove the aluminum transfer on nikisol cylinders with success in the past.

I’d get a 600 or 700. The 800 had more issues.
how do you forget about it running?lol!!!!!
It happens..
Anything can happen, but I don't think it's very common
Marijuana effects the memory.
Must of been having a few beers
Love wating you on tick tock didn’t know you had a UA-cam
Glad you found me over here!
as long as the nicacyl isn't damaged, some muratic acid will clean off the aluminum from the pistons
Yeah. He bought a Polaris.
A bit hot 🔥 cool vid looking forward to more content
Arkansas Wavin
Not worth fixing
Wrong there actually junk like that 800s the end of the cranks snap off
I run a fan cooled when ice fishing for this reason

It definitely adds some time using one hand.. atv’s will be coming soon as the weather is changing.
@@rockspowersports sounds good!!!
Boiled all the coolant out of her. Jugs look good. Unless the plating is gone down to aluminum just hone them.
Too far gone for honing.
Hi I’m on here too howdy duty have a good day
*The owner made a horrible mistake, he bought a polaris. There,i fixed your title.
That was toasty
Too bad nice machine
For sure! But it will be getting repaired one way or the other so at least she’ll be brought back to life.
Crank bearings rods are shot she toast

Sounds like you got pretty lucky though if it was idling that long.

@@GeorgeJefferson-h7w it was negative Temps so yes
