I didn't do nutthin,you did all the work...

 

im going to make a bush guard to go on the front. Do I need to do anything as far as CDI's and stuff go as far as unplugging? I want to know before I screw it up royally. Thanks for any help

 

If you're worried about shorting anything out just disconnect the battery. Hook everything back up after you finish. Welding,etc normally wouldn't hurt anything,but best to be on the safe side. Same thing a lot of auto manuals say on certain projects or repairs,pull individual fuses or disconnect the battery. Had to replace the horn switch(clock spring I think they call it) on my sons' truck,battery was the first thing to be disconnected. Didn't want an air bag going off in my face.

 

Bad MF'n news boys.... Jan 30th, I was riding the Polaris. I was revving up pretty high, doing top speed, whatever that is. It started bucking slightly, so I gave it a little more gas to compensate like usual. I lowered the revs, and it lost power. It has a good many hours on it, so I immediately thought: "oh **** no don't die on me!!" It then acted like it slipped out of gear, and so I popped it into neutral. It ran, so I thought I may have burned the gear. I was still slightly revving so I could tell if it shut off, and then it just ******* DIED... I coasted to a stop, and smelled a very slight burning smell. The engine was not hot, and it had 2 stroke oil in it, along with coolant. I tried to pull start, and it pulled over twice and then it wouldn't let me pull it out hardly at all.... I think I have depression now...please help me!!!!! I can't lose this 4wheeler it is very special. It's also my only one. I can't afford another. Please help me!!!!!!!!! Is it seized or blown, both? I think I am losing my mind.

 

Doesn't sound good. Compression is the main thing to check before you do anything. If you can't pull the engine over then sounds like a seizure and time to tear the top end down and check things out.

 

It just crunk)? Ran about 5 secs and then cut off like you pulled the spark plug and then seized up again.

 

Don't crank it again. Just pull the top end and go from there on seeing what all's damaged.

 

Thank you! I need to disassemble gas tank and all? I'm getting the chance to buy (I think it is a '97 Yamaha grizzly 600 4x4. 2k with very very few hours (100 or so I believe) is this a good deal and should I work on this Polaris or scrap it and buy the grizzly?

 

Also, it won't move in gear. However, if I rock it back and fourth in gear, it Unseizes the pull start....

 

Could be a broken piston skirt locking it up. Don't try to rock in gear because if it is a broken skirt you could crack the engine case if the piston hits it. This is entirely up to you on another machine. May just be a piston and bore job needed or may need to rebuild the whole thing. Wouldn't second guess anything until it was torn down and inspected. As it sits now it's salvage parts for ebay.
