Good work man! Love seeing yhe kids getting involved. With how much you wouldve spent in bearings and welding and all that time on the rail would've been cheaper getting a good used skid, but each to their own. Regardless good work, good 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!👊
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.
@@larrywarner9314 yup. They make the noise when they are dying. The rebuilt one made that noise for a little while but then quieted down after a few hours of running.
@@VincesDIYsI have a Polaris Indy that won’t stay running I’m gonna be working. On it tomorrow morning and I also have a ski doo mxz 400 it won’t stay running
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
I have the indy 500 from 1991 (35 years Edition...but its only a 2 zylinder...i build it comletely NEW....its a great sled and also i have the indy widetrack lx😊
Cranks seal was fine. I ended up replacing the clutch as some of the ramps, rollers, et. were worn. Basically the clutch was neglected like the rest of the sled…
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!
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.

Thanks! If I add the hours and what the sled is worth, I probably paid myself $1 and hour 😁

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.

Definitely a great score 🎉
Yes indeed!

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.

Nice. The old sleds are definitely simpler to work on the the new ones.
Quite the video in the making (over a few years).
Yup, it took a lot longer than I imagined at the start.
Great deal😊
Now that it’s working well… :)
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.
Putting that much heat on that clutch you probably melted the in sheath bushing, and probably the crank seal !
Cranks seal was fine. I ended up replacing the clutch as some of the ramps, rollers, et. were worn. Basically the clutch was neglected like the rest of the sled…
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.
cool video
Thanks!
Definitely burning coolant.
Yup, it had a lot in the crankcase and pipe so it took a bit to burn off.
I would have never bought that nightmare that welded trailering arm will crack whenever you weld suspension parts they always break
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.
U mean u cut the clutch off not the primary primary is the big one
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.
Were are you located
Ontario
Lol might need a head gasket or coolant burnt out
It cleared up after a good run. Thankfully no gaskets needed.
Looks like you moved from the country to a subdivision BOO LOL
Haha, Working on moving back to the country.
