Clean away! Use whatever you want to get that shit off. Carb/brake cleaner is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The best cleaner I have ever used for removing belt dust or exhaust stains is this. Seems crazy but it works better than anything else I have tried or that has been recommended by anyone. I actually discovered it by accident when I was in the garage and I needed some detergent to clean something and I didnt have any. All I had was a small bottle of this shit. Been using it ever since.

Ever try this? Dollar store. Works better than anything I've ever tried and it's cheap. A lot of guys say Magic Eraser, but it's harsh in shiny plastic finish.

Probably not but I have tried a dozen different detergents and what not and I have access to distributors that sell all kinds of cleaners so I have had samples of just about everything. One time I had this salesman come to my house (he was selling door to door) with this best and greatest cleaner and I told him, "Tell you what, if this stuff will clean the exhaust stain off of my snowmobile I will buy it!" He said ok. So I took him in the garage and he was scrubbing his ass off. Then I said watch this. Put some hand cleaner on and cleaned it right up. He was defeated. I told him he should sell this shit. True story 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I called a local shop. They said for an epi rebuild kit $300. Polaris wants $430. Then they told me that CV tech sells power block clutches for around $350-450. And that is a complete primary clutch bolt on, ready to go. How can it makes sense to rebuild this clutch for $350 (with spider socket) when I can buy an entire new clutch for pretty much the same price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping not to spend anywhere near $400 lmao. The sled has around 4000 miles and I am not sure if the clutch was ever serviced. There is a little play with the movable sheave and the spider/shaft. I am not sure if that is worn buttons or the bushing in the shaft or a bit of both. So I was thinking replace all the wear items and not worry. I had no idea that a few small bushings were going to cost so much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
