Whaaaat? Yeah, first timer here and you're delirious if you are asking to "click like and subscribe" before seeing anything. What is wrong with all you? Honestly, I'm typing this comment and I haven't even watched any of it. You got my attention when you asks for click like and subscribe, REALLY? Think about it!!! I'm done, not even watching anything, bye!
Great explanation about the throttle pull. Some guys need to think about their mods and what they can affect. Looks like a decent sled Tom, shouldn't have much trouble selling it.
Odd ball carb might be a ski-doo? Beautiful Vette. Great idea on filling the bowls. I normally pull the pulse line, add a long line to the pump and use my mouth to pulse the pump. I'm going to find me a small funnel.
Just ordered a 3" riser thinking I may not need cable extensions as it appears there is plenty of slack. Appreciate the video - will definitely have to test turning the bars side to side while the sled is on the stand to see if it accelerates unexpectedly. Much obliged.
Great information! I’m getting ready to replace a head gasket on a Polaris 500 Classic Touring. Anything special I should be aware of Thanks buddy! Really enjoy your stuff!
Pretty easy to swap out. Just pay attention to the gasket when you put it on. It’s very easy to install upside down and backwards. Make a visual check to ensure none of the coolant passages are blocked.
@@StreetersGarage I haven’t received the gasket yet . It’s supposed to be a Vertex by Winnrosa, is that a good one. And is there some sort of indexing so you get it the right way. Thanks
I have the 2000 version of that sled. I am wondering what the maximum lug depth I could install for steep hill climbing. Looking at 1.75 inch lugs on a new track. The hills I need to climb are between lakes and are not long but very steep and full of powder and drifts.
Not that bad to do. There’s 2 bolts at the back of the tunnel. Remove those and then the airbox. Disconnect the fuel and vent line and slide the seat back.
So working on A 98 Polaris Classic Touring Suspension. Manuel’s and videos a little confusing. I want to order parts prior to tear down there are 14 wheels boogies idlers in that extra 12 suspension. Are they all the same bearings OEM 3514303 thanks in advance! Great videos.
Also there are a number of videos out there on replacing skid bearings. Most seem to use the bulk buy type bearings which are a lot cheaper in cost and quality than OEM. I’m someone who has worked in the HVAC field for over 35 Years until retirement in 2017. It is my experience that you will never get longevity out of a repair Unless you use quality parts. Many of these sleds are approaching 25 plus years old. It seems spending money on the right parts is the way to go. To my point what your replacing lasted a very long time, is it wise to go cheap. One guy on line admitted he expects to do this every year. Seems a little crazy to me. Your thoughts?
Hey I have a question I have a 98 indy 500 classic and it idles around 3 thousand but recently it hasn’t been starting when I pull it only when I put gas on the spark plugs. Fuel pump ?
Hi. You do great video work! Quick question for ya. I picked up 2002 Polaris 500 classic. It sat for 7 years and when put new battery in and drained old fuel in tank I noticed I have no power to lights or electric start. I can’t find fuses. I did the tank fuel line replacement btw. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA
No power to the lights is more than likely related to the voltage regulator. On the Edge, it’s located on the left hand footwell if you’re sitting on the sled. Electric start could be either a bad ground or the relay isn’t getting 12v to energize and pass voltage through the large red wire that goes to the starter. You’ll need a multimeter to check it. Also check the keyswitch for continuity at that position.
@@StreetersGarage awesome. The starter works now and the lights work during the starting cranking! Thank you. No spark tho. . Wierd. The coil part is 375$ at Moms in Foxboro and I’m hesitant to buy it cuz idk if that’s the issue…. I removed the kill switch from the loop. Still no spark. I checked as many wires as I could and everything seems connected. The sled ran when it was put away…. Idk. Thoughts?
Ok. Next step There’s a single black wire down by the recoil. This is the wire for the kill and key switch and throttle safety switch. Disconnect that and check for spark again. If you have spark, then you have a bad switch somewhere. Make sure the back of the sled is on a stand so the track is in the air. If it starts and starts to take off, you’ll have no way to turn the engine off until you turn the fuel off.
I have a ‘98 Indy classic with no working headlights - I’ve noticed that others from this time have similar issues - any suggestions on where to start to fix? Edit: a new bulb didn’t resolve the situation- thanks and cheers

Awesome. Love it and Good Luck.
You’ve been pinned. So everyone can see this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loser!

Thanks - It should go quick. This sled will be paying for the majority of the upgrades for Emily's EVO
Love that 500 Fuji engine. Smart move getting two proper carbs. That will sell fast.
Hopefully by the end of this weekend!

Yes. Once you do it that way, you’ll never do it any other way b

No problem. Definitely something that needs to be checked.
5:09 finally talk about the indy
Yes, unfortunately that’s what YT needs to keep the engagement level up.
Thanks for sticking with it.
Took a whole minute of skipping my guy
The Vette is cool and best Vette wheels ever. Ps it’s his show we’re just the birds on the line.
Just blow into the tank to prime instead. Then no spilling gas. I had one of those gen 2 indy 500s. Beautiful sleds
Huffing.
@@StreetersGarage what

Vertex are good. It should be marked with a “E” for the exhaust side. Depending on how you’re reading the lettering it’s very easy to flip it over.

I would invest in a longer skid first. You won’t get much flotation from the 121”
Sweet! I'm looking forward to getting into some snowmobiles soon
You and me both!
Tom, so sorry to hear of job loss. I hope you have a new one lined up.
Thanks. It’s all good. I was out for about 5 weeks until I found something
@@StreetersGarage Great to hear Tom!
Would like to see a video on how to remove the seat
Not that bad to do. There’s 2 bolts at the back of the tunnel. Remove those and then the airbox. Disconnect the fuel and vent line and slide the seat back.
Crack the bowl drains screws..that can help gravity along
Agreed.
So working on A 98 Polaris Classic Touring Suspension.
Manuel’s and videos a little confusing. I want to order parts prior to tear down there are 14 wheels boogies idlers in that extra 12 suspension. Are they all the same bearings OEM 3514303 thanks in advance! Great videos.
6205 and 6004
@@StreetersGarage do you know how many of each ! Thanks, and your videos have helped me out a lot

That odd carb looks like it's of an Arctic Cat , they had sensors that bolted on the side of the carb .
I believe your correct. It’s probably one that used a micro switch along with the TSS
@@StreetersGarage I hated those things
@@StreetersGarage they had a little magnet in the barrel slide

@@StreetersGarage excellent thx! That’s a tomorrow thing hhahaha. I’ll report back. Again thx man
No problem. Good luck.
I need to repair the heat exchanger on mine. Any tips on how to best do this?
It would need to be pulled and welded up.
Do you use a Polaris Clutch alignment tool, and if so would the same tool work for a 94 Xlt and a 98 Classic Touring 500 thanks
Yes. Same tool for all of the sleds.
@@StreetersGarage do you have a reliable source for. Polaris Clutch Alignment Tool? Thanks

Voltage regular. Down by the right hand side foot well.
need a new rectifier
Did you sell the 500? And if so what were you asking for it? Sure is a decent looking sled for the age.
I did. Sold within 48 hours in the fall.
I know this sounds pretty dumb but what kind of oil goes in where the yellow dipstick is?
Great question. It’s called chain case oil. You can pick some up at the dealer or put in gear oil from the auto parts store
What carb kits do you recommend for the Indy 500s?
I always try to buy Mikuni kits when I do need parts.
I see Vermont registration? Are you in Vermont?
I’m in MA. That sled was a flip sled that was sold earlier this year.
@@StreetersGarage oh cool! Im in Ma too. Im on NH line next to Nashua/Hudson. You do great work!
I absolutely detest video about everything except just what title
Merry Christmas
Who. Cares about the corvette. I’d say the people that clicked on a snowmobile video that’s who. Annoying.
Thanks.
