Hi guys, dad has a 94 400L that I have been working on. I pulled the cylinder and the piston skirt broke off and busted both cases. I have figured I could do the work but it will cost him more money in parts than he cares to spend on it. He never has liked the 2 stroke engine (not good at all for farm work) and has contemplated getting rid of it. I mentioned he might be able to swap in a 4 stroke engine such as the one from the 500 Scrambler but I didn't know for sure.

What I'm asking is that if I can pull the engine and swap it out for a 4 stroke if I can find one reasonably priced? I'm guessing here but upon a glance, the frame appears to be very similar to that of the Scrambler's of the mid 90's isn't it. Isn't the drivetrain pretty much the same on the Polaris models. I don't know as this is the only one that I've had any extensive experience with.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer to me.

 

you might also want to look at getting a 425L engine that was around in the '94 area that is if it would fit.....

 

Looks like it could be time to part the old 400L ott and buy another quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

The frames are the same with different mounting points for the engine.It can be done with not a whole lot of fabrication.Almost will bolt in.

 

an engine switch wouldn't be very hard
