sounds to me like a fouled plug...cause you let it idle too long before you took off

@reed1014 The video is called Blown Engine because I blew up the engine. As you can see from my other videos I'm on a different sled now.

[Rucky150]

It was warmed up, it always was warmed up. It was running lean because of a fuck up with the Vari-flow we had recently put on. It had nothing to do with me not warming it up this ride, or any ride before.

Well it looks like you were abusing it more than having fun with it. Not an insult, more of a statement, I play with my 07 Phazer the same but I jump it. It looked like you just started it and started giving her, and you killed the engine before it was even lower than I would say 4000RPM. ......

@snowcross231 This is not abusing a sled... It had been running for a long period of time. This comment proves to me your knowledge of sleds is lacking quite a bit.

[snowcross231]

@Rucky150 PS; It is a smart thing to do, to wait until the sled is at idle before you shut it off. If that's what you thought proved I didn't know very much.

[Rucky150]

@snowcross231 I don't see where I shut it off at all in the video there chief.

What do you think you're talking about calling polaris a piece of shit. They are the best snowmobiles, four wheelers, and UTV's out there!

oooh that sucks that sled was beast!

[skiDOOman484]

Thats what "game over" sounds like

[polarismanski]

same thing happend to me shatterd piston skirt exaust side

@snowcross231 the thing is... with the newer sleds unless your doing a 120 its going to over heat and blow up anyways... thats why i like the old sleds.. (pre 1970) granted you aint making no land speed records at top speeds of under 40 mph... but it will last longer be a better ride.. where as doing warp factor 9 all you see is a big blur.... i have a 61 skidoo...... i see no point in going 100 on it... i just sit back and enjoy the scenery.. my point is... slow down and enjoy the ride...

obiviously it was running great right before liek always abviously it was not a fouled plug. and like they always say they run the best right before they burn down.

awesome video.

[TheHonda300ryder]

if he fowled a spark plug the engine would still run on one cylinder. and a sparkplug will not roul from idling to long

[mitchrollo]

all the older polaris sleds (97-04) excluding the 800's were awesome. i know a guy that bought a pro rmk and busted a fuckin crank after 10 miles of ridin... HMMM now I know soemone that bought a 2011 M8 Sno pro and has not had to replace on thing on it..and theres about 1200 miles on it...... Not saying polaris is a shitty sled just saying not as good as a cat, u cant beat cat.

[56snowmobiler1]

[circa2football]
