- 2018 Polaris Switchback Pro-S 800
I made a post earlier this week about my 2018 Switchback Pro-S 800 overheating and not being able to cool down even when in the powder.
I decided to do a boil test on the thermostat and it was only opening halfway and then getting stuck, so i gutted the thermostat taking the plunger and the spring out leaving the casing and seal and put it back in, it started up no problem last night after gutting the thermostat but now this morning going back up to my shop and it wouldnt start. nothing, not even a sputter. this sled has never not started for me before, it always the 2nd turn of the key with the electric start or 2 pulls.
I changed the plugs, and it made no difference. my only thought was maybe it was too cold? but it was in the shop overnight and the garage is always around 50F
im confused and stuck inside, any help or knowledge would really be appreciated.
