: Coolant Jelly?

Hi, new here!
I was looking at buying a new sled, in particular a 2001 700 RMK from a friend. I took a look at the antifreeze and it was a little low, and appeared gelled in the reservoir. We topped it up, warmed it up and went for a little ride. It seemed to run well and I didn't smell burning antifreeze. When I shut it down there was a mess of gooey antifreeze at the top 1/2" of the reservoir. Could this be a problem?
Thx

mixing the orange with the green will do that.

If it is gelling, GET IT OUT and flush the crap out of it, if it is like automotive applications, it can become corrosive.
JMO, but the red and orange coolants (Dex derivatives) are CRAP!
