So, went for a ride today and all was good up until my sled overheated. saw the light, shut it off for a good 10 minutes then made sure to ride in the powder to keep it cooled down, was tearin up the hill 5 minutes later and randomly died like the teather was yanked off, started back up fine. 20 minutes later, sled felt like the belt was going, it seemed like it lacked power and was kina doggin, shut it off to check the belt and seemed ok, little worn. started 'er up moved about 20 feet and a farely loud metel-to-metal noise make me freak, dad was sitting 30 feet away and turned when he heard it, started dogging and bogging down and slowly idleing lower and lower and when i gave it gas it just bogged and slowly died.
tried to re-start it and it wouldnt. over the next 30 minutes we, checked the teather, fuel and spark. put new plugs in and tried to start it, nothing. pulled the new plugs and you couldnt smell any fuel. there was spark although my dad seems to think it may have weak spark, did a little pre-mix of fuel and oil into a gatorade cup and pored some into the cylinders to see if it would fire and absolutely nothing happened, didnt even sound like it wanted to. primed it a couple times and tried to start once then nothing. pulled the plugs several times and tried adding more gas but nothing happed.
towed it about 10 minutes and tried re-starting it, after about 10-15 pulls it started, sounded a bit off tune and sounded like the engine was making a loud nocking sound (MAG side). blipped the throttle a bit and sled wanted to go so i rode it 50ft and the noise went away and sounded like it was fine. stayed running for a good 20 minutes but when i hit the throttle it hesitates and sometimes seems normal. could still tell something wasnt right, right before it died i got it up to about 7000 rpms on the trail for a brief second and sounded normal, then suddenly wasnt responding and slowly started dying, almost like it was out of fuel, so i shut it off before it killed itself. towed it back to the truck and tried re-starting it 30 mins after it died and it didnt sound like it was even trying.
So, now that im done with this huge post, ive come down to this... pretty much nothing actually. didnt want to start even when we poard fuel into the cylinders, seems like it will restart when its cold, sometimes... makes a weird, farely loud metal nocking noise, then seems to go away after i start riding. started noticably acting up after i was tearin around the pow a bit at WOT, and stopped to see why it was lacking a bit of power.
Anyone have any idea what this could be? Fried rings? Bearing goin out? I really have no idea, gonna pull the head tomorrow and look inside. just seems weird that it shuts off but fires back up after a wait, but sounds strange and power dosnt seem to be there... Thanks guys, im stumped...
