I think I'm gonna puke...

[tekim]

From good to bad, to not as bad as I thought, to extremely worse than what I thought. I think the pics say enough.

tekim:Ccry:

 

[dooryder]

HOLY...thats ruff....what happened?

 

[Rucky]

KABOOOM ! ! ! hopefully tekim didn't have any trips planned anytime soon...happy rebuilding! good luck.

 

[dooryder]

i think its time for u to buy a polaris

 

[Hillclimber]

ouch sorry to hear man hope you have a back up sled

 

[maxwell]

thats such a mess i cant even decypher what happened?!?!?!?!?!

 

[BIGFOOT]

What a Mess !!!! Is correct .... Now we need to know the rest of the story ! Sorry for your luck 'Tekim'. Looks like Kat litter now. Got a new drop in ?

 

[tmix]

i felt the same way last Jan when my motor blew up in milage, hope you can get her fixed soon...let ur snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tekim]

The mag side crank seal went, causing the cylinder to run lean and eventually blow up. Noticed this at the cabin at Allan Creek. The ride back down to the truck on the remaining cylinder caused the first one to become obliterated as you can see. Looking at it now, I don't know if I blew the second cylinder, or if the connecting rod got jammed up, preventing the crank from turning anymore. Either way, its not good. Have to beg to the wife to see if she will let me fix it. God, I loved that sled...

If you were with some others, you should have/could have towed it out? would've been a loot healthier for the motor. Now the rebuild is more $$$

 

[fnDan]

that looks exactly like my brothers 700 summit last year. He should have stopped riding and towed out too.

 

[2003Summit]

That must have made a bit of noise running like that?

That's going to be at least $3500 if you do everthing yourself. Not that you wanted a price quote. If it makes you feel any better, I spent over $1200 fixing my hood last year - and it's just a hood. Snowmobilies are not an investment, they are like expensive lift passes. Give up all hope of saving your money, then there will be less pain.

Better to fix it now, than at the end of the season though. Or you will be even a sadder sledder.

I asked my wife if I could fix my hood when I rolled. She new I would be even sadder than that banana if I coudn't.

 

[catmando]

I could always sell you mine,sorry to hear about your bad luck.
catmando!

 

[Summitric]

Ouch.... Hey Mikey.... I See You Got The Jugs Off, And It Is A Mess.... So The Seal Did Pop, Eh? I Really Feel For You. You Might Be Lookin' For A New Motor. Suspect The Crank Will Be Damaged Too, Know The Connecting Rod Is That Badly Damaged/bent/broken..... Wow. I'm Speechless, And Don't Even Know Where To Begin. Guess Its Time To Doo That Big 1010 Cutler, Or Sumthin' Like That, Eh?? Keep Us Informed. You Might Go To That Kat Website Or Snowwest And See If Theres Any Good 900's Out There, Maybe Even Already Built(1010) Motors Out There. Omg, Thats Gotta Hurt. Later! -ric

 

[teeroy]

I think you can buff that out....

































sorry about your luck, looks terminal.

Not that i'm an expert, but just for future ref and to spread the word a bit to try to help the next guy, and I know it's probably not a good time to say this now with a death in the family and all and I woudn't fault you for not knowing this:

Anyway, if you think a seal popped, check the plugs often. If you see bits of metal on the plug, stop and tow. Another hint a seal popped is the sled seams to run better than ever (new power), or idles high. These little high output engines only have a few minutes or less running lean like that.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

It's like rolling your sled in the mountains, you want to put on a good show...
Well done, sorry to see how bad it is, but well done.

Yes, that's the problem with experience: you always get it when its too late. Guess I'll know that for next time.

Geez that's plain UGLY. Give Don a call at Don's Speed Parts. Maybe he'll have a 900 or a 1010 around there somewhere.
