so we have our 900 at our dealer and its been there since may. NOBODY including polaris can figure out what the problem is.
On our last trip it started using way to much oil and was fouling plugs. it was using about an inch and a half of oil in the resevoir in 30 seconds time. At first we thought it was a hole in the lines, but it doesnt leak any oil or drop any oil when the motor is not running. It is just pumping way too much oil through the engine. So then we thought it was the oil pump. we replaced the oil pump and it does the same thing.
So then after a week or two talking to polaris tech team they told us that it could be the check valves of the motor. we checked the valves and found that one was letting oil through off of 1psi instead of 3 psi. We replaced the 4 check valves and it still uses way too much oil. After we put those on, now the sled will shut itself off if its fouling the plugs, but isnt using quite so much oil.
The dealer that we have has at least 5 people trying to figure this thing out and are spending days at a time trying to get it working. Theyve even thought about "accidentally" sticking the throttle wide open going towards a field cultivator to just put it too an end. We are at a loss of what it could be.
They have had the engine completely taken apart and is in brand new condition. The only other thing it could be would be an electrical issue right?
if anyone has any advices i would really appreciate it
thanks
