Remember that book info may be about a 4-stroke...........This trouble is on a 2-stroke.......

............maybe the head is warped did you check the comp. lately? Or are you just going by what someone told you?............Caper..........</end quote></div>



The top end was rebuilt by the shop I had it in. I did not have the eqipment to rebuild an engine, so I had the do it for me.....so the top end is or should be in near perfect shape.

Same happened to a friend. The antifreeze made it not run. It needed a new head gasket.

With no antifreeze it ran OK and idled fine. Put antifreeze in, and it would die and not start again. He put a new head gasket on and now it runs good. This was on a 2001 Xplorer 400.

 

Ok. I have tried the crankcase bolt drain and got nothing out the bottom. I proceeded to pull the side case off to check the waterpump seal! Well when I got in there I found more than I wanted. The inner and outer seal from the crank, chewed up! the bearing behind the rcoil plate fell apart, no oil in the counter balance area. I have ordered all new seals and bearings, so I will reply when I get this repaired to let you all know the prognosis.....Also for fun I bought a no-foul plug adapter and the bike would run with min. problems but just ALOT of smoke......will update when the parts get here...............another thing, water pump seal and bearing were rusted.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Thanks everyone

 

Still waiting on parts!!!!!!!! They want your money quick, But take there time shipping!

 

OK! I now have my Xplorer up and running!!!! YEAH! It was the water pump seals, the crankcase seals. I replaced dang near everything in the side case seal wise and it fixed the problem. No more smoke, and super quick revs. This is truly a great machine (when running right)! Thanks for all the input, and ideas from everyone. and if you have a problem on a 1996 polaris xplorer 400L 4x4, shoot me a message and I am pretty sure that I can help! I have been through mine inside and out! HAHAHAHA!

Thanks Again to ALL!
