I need a back brake caliper for this machine. Its a later 86 so it has brake pads and only one hand brake for all brakes both front and rear. This rear caliper has been discontinued by polaris.

this thing sat for 3 and half years. i got it running like a champ but ran it tonight and i cant get it to rev up. it idles fine but no power. i cleaned the carb several times and still no better. could it be as simple as a fouled plug? the only other thing i want to do is test the compression. do you know what range it should be.

I dont know if it will fit or not.If I get a chance I will take a pic of it.Drop me your email in a pm
The plug is a good place to start.The comp should be over 100psi.
