I have 2 - 2004 XL 700 and just fried a piston in one . I have not owned these skis long and the previous owner told me that he had just rebuilt the carbs on them . When I removed the head the piston has almost melted but I see no signs of overheating . I have looked at my manual to check the low...

runs great up to 40 mph then it won't go any faster surges from 5000 to 6000 rpm's. It is fuel injected. Replaced stator and fly wheel. compression good, fuel pressure good tps checks ok. Plug wires and coil pack resistance good no exsaust leaks. Impeller clearance good. Fuel filter good, cleaned...

I just got this Ski last week. I had it out yesterday and acording to the MFD it was only reving to about 4600 rpm. It didnt seem like it had the power it should. The other problem I had is that it was either getting to much fuel or not enough, cause you would be going a long fine, and then...

I bought a 2003 Polaris Virage i it obviously had not been winterized as it runs great except for the water spraying out of the side through a crack. That being said.... I tore it down and the cyl is cracked on the inside also. Where can I find A NEW or Used Cylinder to use? Does...

I have a 2001 Polaris Virage TX 1200, rebuilt the carbs and ski runs well at idle and on the top end above 3800 rpm at between 1600 and 3800 RPM the engine bogs while increasing the throttle, seems to be missing fuel or air not sure, any ideas are welcome

We have a 1995 Polaris 750sl, was told to add the accessory fuel pump or add a high volume one. Ordered the Mikuni High-Volume Fuel Pump, but it has 2 ports out??? How can I get this to work? Or is it just completely wrong??? Thanks!!! Think this is right... A TEE in between the 1&2 and 2&3...

I just purchased a cylinder exchange kit for my slx780. our the cylinders ready to bolt on or do I need to hone them? Do I need to check the ring gap? When I install the rings how do I know where the gaps end up on the pistons. The ring gaps on the pistons are staggered correct? It calls out...

Its been awhile since I've been on here so please dont hold that against me:) I recently purchased a 1999 Genesis Carbed model. It has a SBT engine in it that was installed in 2008. The ski has been sitting and only has 11 total hours on it. The guy I bought it from had just cleaned the carbs and...

How do you index the crankshaft,my clymers book says nothing about it. Thanks

My ski is getting water in the rear cylinder. which is getting into the crankcase and blowing out of the pulse fitting that powers the fuel pump. Any suggestions for repair???

I bought a clymers shop manual from ya'll (yes i'm southern) and the fuel pump diagram says or shows nothing about oil being behind the diaphram.Should this oil be there and if so,what kind is it,or if not where did it come from and could this have been my lack of power issue? Thanks for all...

Still having trouble with power issue,noticed alot of oil passing thru exhaust into jet pump ara while hooked to water hose. Where is this coming from & why?

I have a 1996 polaris sl700, and the ski will not get up to full power. When you have it at full throttle it barely goes. It seems like its stuck in limp mode. This all started when i rode for about a half hour, stopped to take a break, shut the fuel off, then got ready to leave again is when this...

Replacing motor,what componets do you suggest replacing also.Will carbs need to be adjusted as well?

After takeoff SLT 780 bogs. Light on console flashes even when full of fuel. We also just rebuilt carbs,is this an adjustment problem or does ski go into limp mode when light flashes?

i'm wondering if the cable broke on pump did it stop pumping oil? or did it go into full oil? if unit was run this way do i need to do anything to the pum after i repair th cable cable

where in the fuel system is the fuel pressure regulator located and what is the nominal specs for pressure at idle and at WOT,thanks todd.

I need help with a 1994 polaris 750 that has no spark on all 3 cylinder. I have checked battery voltage cranking, and it is 11.8 volts. I omhed the kill switch ,and it checked out good, but no sparks on all three cylinders. I have checked the fuse in the electrical box, and changed .25 fuse to be...
