Fuel delivery problem? Have you changed out the tank sock?

That would've been the first year of the Proride chassis

Yeah it should, mine was taken out by a piece of plastic the size of a pinhead that stuck the float. Plus none of the original seals were ethanol compliant back then, so guaranteed the float orings are shot. A utility sleds much better for what you are using it for, most of those have a...

I'm honestly surprised they are that close. You have the old Fuji 488 in your sled vs the XC has the Polaris built small block twin. These were the transition years to Polaris built engines

So here's where the problem starts, they don't list a kit for your specific sled. What they list is in the link below. Other problem is some of those original parts were custom for Polaris and are not available anymore, this usually pertains to needles. Since you only use this for ice fishing...

I know why he did what he did, Polaris only sells the float as an assembly for $129 each. If you don't know where to source the parts, it gets expensive fast. Parts Unlimited sells a whole rebuild kit for those carbs with all the gaskets & orings, Dennis Kirk has them usually in stock. I don't...

Yeah thats the closest you are going to get without getting a degree wheel on the crank and some dial indicators to find the true TDC of each piston, tools I highly doubt you have. I can't take credit for the dowel tip, I had seen that one years ago when I had a problem similar to what you are...

One other possibility is the chokes are hung up or not adjusted right but that shouldn't dump a ton of fuel in, usually just makes it too rich to fire the plugs.

Yeah, not a good sign he didn't understand why it was flooding. That is almost 90% going to be a float issue not stopping the flow from the tank. The only other possibility is the fuel pump has a bad diaphragm and its coming in thru the impulse line off that. Pull that line off and see if the...

Haven't seen anything newer than 17 so far.

Yeah thats not good, if its flooding that bad, its definitely the o rings. You can potentially knock the crank out of phase if you hydrolocked it. Hope you shut the gas off so it stops bleeding more in. Dont try pulling it over again until you pull the drains. There are 2 drain plugs under the y...

Go get some orings and start there. Arctic Cat sells them separately from the float so thats the best way to get them, they used the same style Mikuni carb. The closest I could find is 2001 but should get you close, but if you go create an account on Polaris website and enter your VIN in "my...

Polaris still sells all the seals separately, unfortunately thats probably the only way to get them as I didn't see a kit anywhere either.

The service manual doesn't give any information on those coolers other than to give the same diagram you posted, but looks like the 9 rivets is it.

Yes, stay under 3000 rpm and it should be ok. One of my buddies did this accidentally on a Sportsman quad and it smoked the regulator, not sure what it would do to a sled.

That manual you downloaded should walk you right thru it, with all the torque specs and the gap settings for the pickups too. Look back in the engine section. You might be able to get that one repaired, worth reaching out to RMstator on your side of the border and see what they say I would also...

Sounds like somethings overheating and quitting. Thats why it takes a while to do it. First thing I would do is change all the relays in the sled to the Panasonic ones from DigiKey. Search the older threads on here that talk about that, factory ones were chinese crap. Its possible the load shed...

Looks like you circled the problem in the first picture, that hose off the brake caliper to the coolers is likely shot. All those hoses on that sled are 20+years old now and are looking dry and aged in those pictures. Also don't use newer coolant in that sled, the seals in the older sleds can't...

100 is right about where the stat opens on the newer sleds so the first part sounds good. The second part has way too many variables to it, is the snow loose? totally packed like a rock? How much snow is getting into the tunnel? Dipping into snow definitely helps, but they always take a while...

That left plug looks awfully clean for a sled still in break in mode.
