That looks like a lot more than not letting it warm up. A cold seize doesn't usually cover the whole port like that. It's more on the sides of the piston on either side of the wrist pin. I'm thinking this engine was starved for lube at some point. Possibly not bled proper on PDI and not running the additional break in oil in the first tank of fuel.
I hope for you it's going on warranty!
Yes cat care is taking care of it as far as I know.
So "Cat Care" which is Cornerstone Warranty has denied the claim. They say air box clamp was missing which caused the motor to fail.
An email to Arctic Cat has been made.
So got it running again. Took it back to the same feild and it was 11pm so it was very cold out there tonight and with no warm up I was over heating 6 mins of light ridding in 2 foot snow drifts. Then the machine doesnt run anymore.
Total kms since owning sled 2.5kms
Last owner sold it because of this same issue. Will not stay running
