*What do you like the LEAST about your 850 PRO RMK snowmobile?
The multiple problems i have had, the engine has flooded 3 times now and FLOODED BAD, The first time was at the 6 hour mark in break in mode, there was no procedures at the time because i was one of the first ones to experience this probleme (mid novembre) , took me 3 hours to figure it out pulling the engine over many many times, drying and changing the spark plugs over and over again, looked into it a few days later and there were other reports of 850 engines not starting, and certain procecure came out later in decembre to go around this problem (not fix it), the 2 other times i had this flooding issue is on cold weather mournings -15°C or less the engine will turn over attempt to start or even start for a short period of tme (45 sec) stall and not want to start again, both times flooded bad, one of those times i couldnt get it started again untill the next day, both times i was well over the break in period. My pull cord broke yesterday 1/02/2019 in the mountains do to the premature ware of accesively pulling the engine over because of the multiple flooding isues. I also have fouled many spark plugs (10) all on the PTO side and all after the 20 houre of engine operation, witch coincides with a low end bog that i experience in low rpm or lower speeds in technicle terain and on long decents in the mountains, i also have noticed and my riding parterns have mentioned that there is black smoke cumming out of the exhaust when i give it short bursts of throttle wich leaves a black streak on the snow. I seem to beleive that these problems are all related (flooding, bogging, plug foulling) to a possible fuel deliverry isue. I bought this snowmobile brand new to have peace of mind but i'm having multiple issues, and have less confidence and many concerns of reliability in regards of this machine in the terain that we operate in. I must say that i am a little pissed but mostly disapointed with this situation. Hopefully Polaris will have a solution for these problems.
