Tomas. Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I called the dealer for a drive belt for the Polaris and they want $225 for a belt. Is that the way to go or is there another option that is just as good? I have always bought OEM belt but they were always $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get a Carlisle XS local for $150 which isn't bad. According to MCB performance's website, Carlisle makes Arctic cat and Polaris's oem belts. So I will give that one a try.

I am not sure what types of mechanics told him that but I don't think I'd necessarily be revisiting them anymore. Unless things have drastically changed the last couple years, I believe all injector oils are also premix oils? It was actually a wrench who builds race sleds.

And what he mentioned was that poo injection oil dosnt mix well. That's all. Not saying he is right or wrong just what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is some truth to it but I'd need more than one persons opinion on it. Regardless, I use Shell, non syn, injection/premix in my 95 XLT, which I have also used in my old, now gone, Toro snowblower for years without issue.

Well after a rebuild for the first 2 tanks I just threw some husky oil in the tank. Why husky? If for no other reason it was easy to carry on a sled.

Tomas. Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well I changed out the filter. I put the tank side on first, let it fill the filter. Then attached the pump side so it is mostly filled. I will still be running a tank from premix. What ratio do you guys recommend? I also pulled the exhaust valves out today. Under the bellows was full of oil. Probably a side effect of the ripped intake boot. Bellows are in good shape. So just need a new set of gaskets and those will be good to go. I scotch Brited the clutch sheaves. Hopefully that will fix the stutter at slow speeds as there was a bit a belt material on the primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your shit is working properly you’ll be pig rich and smokin’ like a hell. I don’t think it mix a whole tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but the general is more fun. I will likely be buying a rzr or general to keep down here if we stay here for a while. The jeep trails are fun but they are slow going.

That's for sure, and while it might not be as aggressive as a RZR it does 70 mph easily and it does a really good job absorbing what's the trail is throwing at it. 15 hours ago, Ez ryder said: I was in a bobcat Sxs 4 seater today that a local dealer gave us to use for trail marking .

I agree completely. I checked out getting some shell snow Ultra synthetic oil 5l the other day and it used to be 38 bucks a jug now it's $62 a jug. That's outrageous.
