Polaris 2006 fusion 700 - Intermittent starting
I think on a worn startermotor.
To be sure, give a little knock on the startermotor end when it won't start. If then it's good starter, then its the startermotor.
If still not good, replace your battery.
I have a 2001 polaris RMK 700. It seems to use a
Certainly the carbs should be treated as a pair and so when one is suspected both should be checked. The cylinders will be unable to perform equally unless both carbs are tuned equally and synchronised at idle and at various throttle openings.
As part of the checking process it is important to ensure both cylinders are capable of performing equally. A compression test has limited use and a cylinder efficiency test is better. Injecting compressed air into the cylinder would prove the effectiveness of the valve seats and piston rings. A small amount of leakage of the inlet valve seat would make little difference to a compression test but it would make a great deal of difference to the way the cylinder performs.
Another important check is the valve clearances and also the ignition timing if it is adjustable. Some engines with twin ignition systems need to have the timing set for each cylinder.
The sled will not come out of reverse
As far as I know, sleds have two directions.
Forward and reverse.
To make it go in the opposite direction, push it in that direction, or turn it completely around.
God bless your efforts.
02skidoo700mxz.No ride in 2yrs. ride 15min, felt drag, brake lever solid as rock, rotor glowin orange. in 10min lever floppy to handle (no pressure). in 30min check lever, now back normal. explain??
taking that this a motor cycle then you have suffered what is known as" brake fade"
to understand the term it works like this
for brakes to work, kinetic energy ( spinning brake rotor) is converted to heat energy by the friction caused by applying the brake
this loss of kinetic energy is the braking action or the bike slowing down
normally there is enough heat transference to the passing wind but if the heat generated exceeds the heat transfer then the brakes and rotor will not absorb any more heat generated by the friction and so the brake stops working
(like oil on the pads or linings)
what cause it to happen--
there is clearance between the disc rotor and the brake pads but if the brakes are applied then the brake fluid is pushed out against the pistons and applies pressure to the rotor ( braking action)
when the brake is released the fluid is returned to the reservoir and there is no problem
BUT
if that fluid is not allowed to return fully, the brakes remain on( your brake drag) and the heat generated besides going to the air , also heats and expands the brake fluid
with nowhere to expand to , the brake is applied by the expanding fluid
AS all brake fluids are hydroscopic( absorb moisture from the atmosphere) the water in the brake fluid boils off and you loose any pressure because the system is now full of air and air compresses
when the brakes cool down the brake action comes back as the air has bled back to the reservoir
The fix is to replace the master cylinder and the brake fluid and to ensure that the calliper slides freely on the mounting rods so that it self centres over the rotor
what you have experienced is very common on heavy trucks on long down grades where the brakes over heat and fade resulting in control of the truck
