I have a ZX Skidoo with a 830, I've been running this motor for 2 years, and it has worked great! First ride this year, it had seized, when I was putting up the trail, about a mile from the truck, I got it fired up, and it run ruff, so I turned the sled around and started heading back to the truck, made it 50 feet, and run fine??? So I sayed screw it and headed back up the hill, and the sled has not missed a beat! I have had some great rides this year, in some very deeeep snow, I would say 6 rides. The only mod I did this year was add 1 extra 5 in flowright for my air intake.
Yesterday I was riding up at Whistler, and it happend again, under different sercomstances.
I was climbing a hill, and blew a belt. Put a new belt on, the belt was a little moist, but not bad, It was not a new belt. I should have went back down, and warmed the belt up. But I turned around and took another shot at the hill, and my sled must have been over reving, and just died. So got the sled turned around, and coasted down the hill. I waited a few minutes, and the sled fired first pull, a little rough. But I proceded to ride the sled slow, for like 50 feet, and it was fine.
So I decided to ride it to see if everything was ok, and was good. Rode about 20 minutes, and again it happend. Same scenario. Played around, and it seems fine, it sounds fine, it idels fine, no loss of power. Finished the day, made it back to the truck.
It baffles me.
Would a sled run fine if it had seized?
Is the top end toast? Ive never seized a motor befor.
I recalled my EGT on my Digitron, and said 1250.
Thanks
