I like these engine tear down/wrenching videos :)

I got a soft spot for these 2stroke sleds that are simple as these to work on 😁 I'm currently running a 92 Jag deluxe 440LT and it takes me home every time on my 150 mi logging trips! I love the old Polaris, SKI doo and now Cat 2stroke sleds! Great vid!

Louie just wanted to say you doing absolutely excellent job explaining and teaching while doing what you love! Having your own TV show is excellent and you're damn good at it LOL but if you ever want a change of pace I think you would make an excellent teacher at a trade school! Down here in the states it's pretty much learning as you go but I'm sure up in Canada there's a trade school and or small engine repair that you would be great at...keep the videos coming!

this is a great series been waiting a little bit

super helpful vid,,, ! im new to sledding and just bought a indy 440 super sport ,, 1million thanks

would be a good sled to do a 488 fanner swap, be superlight and have a few extra ponies on top of it

Love these maintenance videos

I like the kids jammies rags. Cool Louie.

Loving the videos !!

Like the video just got my first snowmobile so I have to replace the crank and I'll probably new other thing as well

The clutch parts are very important, the rollers and cam bolts need to be good. Red loctite on the nuts for the cam bolts, so that you can tighten it by hand, then take it 1/8 turn back out, and rely on the red loctite to keep the nut on, so the bolt can twist. The springs also weaken over time, so over time you either have to replace the springs or shave the weight on the cams. Shave the sides of the cams, so you don't change the angle on the cams. And to shave them you first need a gram weight (for food or whatever). Aaen's clutching book is a good read.

Good DIY video. Thanks for sharing.

Got a '99 Jag 440 fan from a young guy. Did pretty much the same as you. The kid never pulled the fan top sheet metal to check for Moose nests. (Always packed in around left jug) probably why compression left side a little low. It blew up on left later.

I was thiniking the same thing about how the shop does it with an impact. Also I always hand tighten cv axle nuts on my vechicles so that I don't hammer the bearings but I bet the shop puts the nut on with an impact and it runs just as long as the hand tightened.

Don't know where to post & ask but have you ever taken an air pump apart on a 99 ski doo G.T. 700 triple ?

you dont have a wrist pin draw Louie? your method works as well, but once i saw someone use a wrist pin draw tool, i had to have it. especially being you tear down so many motors. always love your vintage sled videos btw, old sleds never die, they just get re bought & rebuilt!

hey igot the same sled any sugestions on how many feet of pull cord to buy for it as i need to replace the cord it snapped

I have a 2000 Polaris 500 and it has spark in both cylinders and we cleaned the power valves but it keeps popping at idle but when you rev it goes away if any body knows what it could be reply

could you put them rmk running boards next to the indys? im thinking about getting a set for mine

I just got a 93 Polaris Indy 440 but we have no snow in Ontario as you know

Rebuilt crank from CV Tech in Quebec is probably $400-500, and 1 year warranty I believe.

It's a spirol ring. They are great.

I was wondering how many miles are on that engine ?

good advice

i had a noisy center crank bearing good thing i don't have much into my 92 indy 440 so i went on and replaced crank seals and all new gaskets still running currently 2nd season since.

I know how you feel Louis over in nb it the same right

Were gonna fix this bog.......just rebuild everything lol crank seals can be checked easy enough 🤣.nah just replace everything .

rubber motor mounts to help vibration lmao supposed to move a bit

Impact guns no worse than the stress the puller adds to the crank youll be just fine running the impact on the crank sometimes its less stress on the bolt as well

your screw driver hit me in the eye !

can you buy whole motors and just swap them out. good videos

wrist pin Keeper is called spiro loc

i got a 03 polaris xcsp 800 and it struggles at full throttle but has a sweet spot but it doesnt get into the rpms as it should. does this out of the hole too and goes slow and that sweet spot dissapears. any help??

I have a 97 xc 600 triple , It bogs out at 4500 with the air cleaner box and filter , if I take the new filter out of the air box it doesn’t bog but isn’t as snappy as no airbox altogether . If I take airbox completely off it runs mint and is very responsive. Any idea what could cause that ?

No snow left in Wisconsin :( we are getting some snow but there is no base left. So season is pretty much over!! Very short!

Called it!

Rookie question here: which end of the crank is referred to as the pto end? Is it the end that drives the clutch? I own a '94 Polaris xlt 600 witch apparently has a weak crank bearing at the pto end.... thank you

have you ever ridden in wawa Ontario

Will you finish this series or just do half of it like all the other series? #sorrynotsorry

Your kid was wondering where his favorite pajamas went. 16:12 using them as rags!

I had 500 liquid that had problems getting to 5k rpm... Secondary was assembled wrong... Works real food once I realized what was happening.

Deadpool meets snowmobile tech. Love it!

I have the same sled but dont now much about it im 14 and going to fix it up to drive it next winter, do you have to mix fuel or not?

FINALLY

If your looking for another abused sled soon.. Ill be selling my ZR440 2001 in spring lol!!! new rebuild , BUT Plan to blow her up pretty quick Would be a GREAT Body to drop a 800 in , Or just to chop up for parts lol! Sell her to you DIRT CHEAP when i am done with her lol I was thinking of installing a diesel into her.

Nice sleds

Hey do you have a video of you removing the carbs from the indy lite? thanks

I have a sled life me that!!! Mine is a 1995 340 lite duluxe but mine is green

Hey....The Skis changed from orange plastic to stock steels with ski skis! Sup with that!?

Nice

where do you find your parts for these im rebuilding a 95 xcr 600 and i cant find parts

Hope you just spent the $50.00 and got just PTO and Mag Side bearings Center ones almost never go lol! As long as the rod bearings where good and inside bearings are fine. , just change the out side ones , that normally all i do. crank just looked too good , in video to be talking about getting a replacement or sending her out for a rebuild. lol. ALSO After seeing that piston ring glowing red , dont think i would ever keep them single rings crap for backups lol!

YOU SHOULDN'T USE AN IMPACT ON THE CRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha jk, I've actually used an impact on a clutch puller on a real stuck clutch.

That was so funny

Was it the primary clutch ?

what dose "pto" stand for?

You look like Ted Danson!

go to Larry from McNish snowmobiles and he definetly has them he's a good friend up by bobcaygeon

Allo

Youuu dont need allll the motor mounts...

For 400 dollars you can buy another complete running sled. At least around here lol..

Just put a 488 fan in instead

12:05 12:05 12:05

Send it to Willy.

That was my buddies sled

1000 degree piston vs gas

put a 440 in it

8:20 8:20 8:20

I like your in shop repair videos ,I would rather watch those than the riding vids

Go look at my channel. That sled is in its own video

haha... YOU SHOULD'NT NOT HIT IT WITH THE THING!!!!!!!!!

13:45 OMG dont use heat on the piston😂

440 or 540

Heuuuu first

worn out leaky reeds can also cause the same issue.

It literally hurt to watch this video snowmobile bogs are snowmobile engine apart reassemble It was like troubleshooting was not a part of any part of this video

Taking apart an engine with perfect compression😂 why???

Why don't you put a 488 trail Indy motor in it.. Or buy a another sled.. That thing is a pile of shit and not worth sticking 400 bucks into that 340 IMO..
