My Indy 440 starts to bog down in deep snow. It bogs on so much that it will not turn the track but if you get off and lift the back end up and get it spining it will go no problem. it just bogs down off the start but once you get it going it runs great, there are no screens in my hood could that be a reason ?

I have a indy 500 and it bogs down just like you said. Mine has screens and it still does it.I am getting the primary clutch fixed up. The weights are flat instead of round and one roller was wore right to the pin. I will have my clutch back on on Friday night. I will see how it works and if it helps then maybe you can get yours checked out to.
How's your belt if it is worn to thin you will get a bog. How is the primary clutch is the sheave to sheave clearance set properly if not you get a belt bog. Take your clutch in and get it setup properly and or rebuild it if it needs it. weights, rollers pins and bushings do it all at once but try a new belt for starters. and make sure the carbs are in sync.
my brother had the same problem with his 580 ext. He changed all of the bushings in the secondary and solved the problem. It wasn't backshifting so it kept bogging in the powder. It would run great on the hardpack trail.
It only seems to do it when it is warm out, when it is cold it will run flawless, as long as i keep the track moving on warm days its fine it happens as soon as i stop any more suggestions ? and what can i do to make my 440 faster ?
How many miles on your primary clutch; do you maintain it (lube it) regularly? What condition are the clutch parts (rollers, bushings, pins, weights, etc), if there's wear that causes any extra friction you'll have problems.
What size are your main jets? Are they intended for temps many (20-60) degrees colder than what you run when the machine bogs?
Could be belt, too, as mentioned. I doubt it's a difficult problem.
I am looking at what I think is a 1987 Polaris Indy Trail, could someone please help me verify what sled this is.
Model 0870761
Serial 1421358
Build Date 0901986
I would like to know what engine this has as well. It is 2 cylinder
Hello All,
I have a 2004 Polaris Frontier touring 4 stroke liquid cooled sled with the 136" x 15" x 1" track with the 2.52 pitch track that I use purely for ice fishing. Can I stud this track without damaging the tunnel or rear heat exchanger? I purchased 108 Fast Trac 1.175" triple X series...
While doing Polaris oil change there was a burning smell during the key cycling stage. After oil change there is still smoke under the hood coming up during idle.
95 polaris 500 efi - bogs down after warm up. I see others with similar problem. Machine runs fine for 20 min. Then it begins to bog down. Shut it off for 10 sec, something in ECU resets and it runs fine for 10 min, then begins bogging down again. Shut it off for 10 sec, runs fine for 10 min ...
