Got the bad news today..
- Melted piston
- cracked head -
- cracked cylinder -
Looking for used parts to repair, cost of new from Polaris outrageous. My guy thinks it was on its way when we bought it...I only put 9 miles on it.
the other machine is running fine, put 100 miles on it. Please, please dont break down. At least my big weekend is canceled with my boys , before we found this out. |
That really stinks, although the cracked jug and cylinder.. I assume the cylinder sleeve... is a little unusual. Typically just the piston melts down.
That 550 is a piece of junk and I can't believe that Polaris continues to put it in their sleds to this day and furthermore rave of it's reliability. That's just plain shameful.
