PostBy: SMITTY On: Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:36 am

Oooooh yeaaah........, she's a real beaut! Been outdoors, uncovered, for MANY, MANY moons! :o But this bitch will run again! It is my mission to bust every bolt & clamp and replace them all with zip ties, duct tape, and....... oh yes........wood! Wood & ATV's are just a natural combo. Trees are made of wood. I run them over, yet they complete my machine! BWWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAH!! :wacko: :woot:

Any machine that doesn't need the seat reupholstered hasn't been ridden hard. What a beauty! Hmmmm.... if it's not for sale, it must be for trade.... take four sheep and a dog with a limp?

Wheres the seat!!! Or do you just sit on the track? I guess that would take care of the 'roids quickly. :woot: :woot: :woot:
EDIT: Oh, I see the seat now... Its not a snowmobile seat.

Hows the steering on that thang? Must've been real fun, until the first time you had to steer around that only tree in the middle of the field toothy toothy toothy toothy toothy
Very Kewl lookin', though.

I once got my slightly modified Polaris XCR600 up to 115 indicated, once. ONCE was enuf... A gust of wind almost flipped me up and over backwards. The skis were off the ground from 100 to 115! Steer by leaning into it, Yee-HAAA! Well it gave me bragging rights to say "Been there, done that". I don't often mention I drove straight home and changed my shorts :woot: :woot:

The scariest part was that my brother was trying to keep up with me on his 500. My sled kicked up a fantail that must've been over 50ft high, so all he said he saw was a complete Whiteout of snow in front of him. When I slowed down after the run, he never saw me. All I remember is seeing him shoot by me at about 80mph, and I swear his handlebar brushed my jacket. THAT was too close to call. Oh, those were the days of Beer and stupidity :D :D :D :shots: :cheers: :beer:

I just had it running today!! :up:

Hasn't run for at least 5 years or more & has been outside uncovered (as you can see... :roll: ). I had to bust every bolt holding the plastic on, then tweak the plastic airbox lid so I could cut the speed nut out with a dremel to get into the GIGANTIC MOUSE NEST inside! :lol: After I yanked out about 40 feet of stitching from somebody's couch or bench seat, I found the air filter (a K & N !) which was sitting in 4" of mouse *censored* & piss.....I can feel the eeeebola invading my lungs!

Then had to cut off the 2 clamps & yank the carb out, disassemble that without stripping screws, & clean every single jet & air passage in there. Once I finished that, I had to take apart the thumb throttle housing & grease it up, put spring on the correct way, lube frozen cable, then grind down a nub which is supposed to center the throttle housing on the handlebar .......... when installed on the correct machine.

After that, I sprayed ether directly into the cylinder for a spark test & it lit off in 1 kick! GOT SPARK! :clap:

THEN, I grabbed my home-made fuel bottle ( an upside-down brake fluid container with a fitting jammed & sealed in cap ) hooked it up, turned on the gas ( without airbox hooked up ) & after about 5 kicks, the bitch started running! It blew apart the head pipe & silencer due to disintegration from rust :lol: . Was shooting an occasional blue/white flame from the pipe because of the airbox being disconnected & possibly my zip-tie isn't sealing the carb up too good to the intake boot. Who cares! It's a runner!

Now to get the brakes working............MAYBE! :woot: :punk: :shots:
