My 1997 Yamaha vmax 600 xtc labors, no power and smell burning rubber when starting out. A higher rpm or speeds it's ok. Any suggetions?

Rebuild or replace primary clutch and belt. Clutches do not last forever. Also check secondary shiver.

Can i put a 1986 440 ski doo motor on my 1996 Formula sl 500

A good mechanic can do anything, it may not be exact fit. You will need the electronic box from the 86 classic and possibly the wiring.

Have a 2000 Polaris 550 fan cooled sled with new coil and ran fine first day then second day after it warmed up and got hot it only runs on one cylinder

Problem has to be in the coil now. Even new parts can fail try switching plug wires first. You might get lucky and the wires were just crossed from the one you replaced.

98 Yamaha 700 vmax xtc snowmobile has spark getting gas new plugs new battery won't start won't pop tors unplugged won't do anything but turn over

Try spraying a little starter fluid into the air intake. If it tries to start, the carburetor needs adjustment or cleaning and rebuilding or replacing. DO NOT USE A LOT OF STARTER FLUID!

What would be the cause or most likely cause of noticable hesitation on acceleration of 2002 polaris xc sp 500 with tps

I've owned many polaris snowmobiles and to me it sounds exactly as the current owner states. It probably needs the carbs thoroughly cleaned, taken out and apart. I would also get new plugs as well. I prefer ngk plugs for my sleds. If you've never done it there ate plenty of you tube videos on how to clean and adjust the carbs.

97 Polaris Indy 500. I have problems starting my machine. Only will start with gas half open, and choke half way. I was told it was the pin and seats in the carbs and put new ones in each carb. Still

Bowl float is sticking open.
Turn the fuel on tap the carbbie bowl. With something ie end of a screw driver etc... your trying to get the float to unstick. Before you put it back together. ..ie putting the bottom on make sure the float goes up and down freely

How do i adjust a clutch on a 1997 polaris xlt?

Remove the clutch cover then the spider (special tool required) there are some washers to add between the spider and engine side of clutch shaft to set pulley width. But before you do that when engine is off does belt have side clearance? If the answer is yes, you may only need a new clutch spring as they loose tension with time and idle speed may be engaging clutch

I jump started my 96 thundercat with a halford's jump start box and when i take the leads off it starts to run badly why would it do that?

sounds like the jump starter is supplying regulated power to the spark generator/distributor, without this smoothed power the alternator is feeding unregulated to it.... placing a good battery across the terminals after jump starting should prevent this mis-firing fault.
