Project 900 Pro

[Mnt.Tamer]

2011 Polaris Pro and I'm installing a Arctic Cat 900 motor because Imy sick and tired of owning a polaris powered sled!! My pro has 2000 miles and and it's had 2 rebuilds. Polaris has the mato ( Polaris the way out ) The mato on this build is (Arctic Cat motor The way back home)

1ST thing is the weight difference in the motors. Both motors weighted with clutch, Y pipe and carbs/throttle bodys and the 900 Is 9.8 pounds heavier but with the oil delete on the 900 I saved 8lbs, and with the fuel pump and huge wiring harness for moved 3.5 and with the air box removed another 6 pounds . So total the 900 should be 7 pounds lighter.

I will try to post some pictures soon

sub'd. Just ordered a bulkhead off ebay.

My BD race sled lived with dumb amounts of boost my fuel mixing experiments + learning curve. Ran it 600 ish miles n/a after a rock fubar'd my chassis. Now she needs a rebuild. First pro engine lost a rod bearing and windowed the mag side of the case (tig welding project).

I have a 700 non ves liberty with twin slp pipes. Fresh rebuild. Thinking i might cobble a back up together. Interested to see how your build goes and good luck.

Thanks, 1/2 done on the exhaust. So she is coming together

Big bore

This should work good with a 975cc or 1010 or 1150 big bore

900 pro

Now its a true sled with a motor that will last and get me out of the mountains. Now it's what it should have been from the factory [ RELIABLE ]
But I don't think that word is in polaris vocabulary

I finally got to ride my buddies 975 cat pro hybrid.

I was impressed. There's a bit of tuning to do still, but it handed very well and pulled hard on top. Have some video, but don't know how good it is yet.

Sweet!! I just talked to Mike today about his sled.
I got the exhaust mocked up today and a push mount to hkeep the motor from twisting. Now I need a wire schematic for both the pro and the cat.

Here's the 900 engine wiring.

And the chassis:

I got more done this week, exhaust is all mocked up, modified the 900 SLP can. Electrical is 75% done. Should have it on the snow by the end of week.
He is a picture of the sled with my timbersled rear suspension and AXYS spindles installed.

How's the project coming? Post more pics when you can, please!

Project 900 Pro is done had it on the snow today and all I can say is WOW!
The only problem I have with it is because the 900 motor sat for 2 years the carburetors are loading up, Evan when it's just sitting not running it starts to smell like gas. I took the carbs a part and they look like new inside. I don't know if the float needle in the carb is bad or the float it's self. Any thoughts?

Looks good!


Sounds like it could be needle/seat or float related but considering you bred the 900 into Pro chassis, figuring it out should be a walk in the park.

Check your choke plungers too. Those can cause that. If it's filling the crankcase with gas when not running, can be a broken diaphragm in the fuel pump.

Its more than likely the orings that sit inside on the needle/seat assembly. Take off the two screws that hold in the plastic float assembly and put in new orings.

Thanks for the help. After changing the needle o rings the sled ran awesome. Road it last Saturday in the mountains for 6 hours and it ran great. I need a steeper helix but other than that I am impressed.
