New to SnoWest - thanks in advance for any help. I was just given an 2005 RMK900 with the engine out and told it is no good. Same guy gave me a 2006 RMK900 motor that he said is good and he never got around to putting in. I have been looking around the forums and called a few shops and can't get the answers I need.
The 06 has 4 fuel injector ports, and the 05 has 2. I was told that I can plug the lower two and just use the uppers. I started on this project, but the fuel rail from the 05 is not anywhere close to fitting on the 06. I was thinking I could leave the 06 fuel rail and all 4 injectors in place, but only plug in the upper two injectors - since I only have 2 connectors on the 05 anyway. I figured this would be easier than plugging the holes in the engine and on the fuel rail, and if the injector wasn't hooked up, it would act as a plug. But - some of the forums are saying that the flow rate on the 06 injectors are half of the 05's, so I wouldn't have enough flow. Can I remove the 05 injectors and put them in the 06 rail?
Also, after a bit of review, I'm starting to think that the motor mounts are not going to line up, as well as a lot of other issues with wiring, cooling, etc.
This was just going to be a buddy sled to get friends into riding. I would say I have intermediate mechanical ability, but pulling and replacing a matching engine might be the limit of my skills. Is this a stupid idea for a 17 year old sled? I don't mind spending a little time on it, but would rather it not all be wasted by a failed project. That, or I can just part the thing out and keep my eye out for another? The rest of the sled looks to be in ok condition.
Thoughts and suggestions?
thanks,
Mike
