I was riding with a buddy today and his 99 mxz600 broke down on the side of the trail. We found out that what happened was a bearing on the bottom end had gone bad, and seemed to seize the motor. The bearing that seems to have gone bad is on the clutch side. We noticed that there is 2 possible oil ports are capped from new. The ports that are blocked would apear to go from the main "T"(which is directly fed from the oil tank) to the what we believe is the bad bearing which is on the clutch side.
What i am looking for is if anyone knows that these ports should be blocked. Also what would you do in this occasion?
Also i tried the doo doo microfiche web site and don't seem to work.
I just rebuilt mine last week with same problem (98 MXZ), and helped a friend do his also. I drilled my hole out bigger. I think it was a 7/32 bit. Also there is a v groove that the oil lays in and then runs down the hole. Make sure the hole is is open to the bottom of the groove so oil can run down. My hole was to high and the oil couldn't run down to the bearing. I also turned my pump up.
the bearing you are speaking of is a sealed unit and comes packed with Isoflex grease from the factory. I know as i asked my dealer the same question a few years back. It seems that the new Doos are going to this system instead of oil from the pump. Perhaps an attempt to reduce oil consumption?
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.
I wasn't interested in a new sled. Was satisfied with my 16 4-Tech 1200 Renegade and my 17 900 ACE Renegade. Dealer talked me into trying his personnal 19 900T Renegade with a chip and reflash. Claims it puts out 190 hp.
Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...
