Sorry this might get long! Recently bought a damaged dragon. It was mainly body damage, but the sled seemed to run fine. The gauge pod was not working so i could not see what the max speed or max rmp were. Got it put back together and the max rmp's were 9000 rpm so it must have gotten away and got pinned until it quite or they got to it to shut it off. Sled seemed to run fin and smoked as per normal so I thought I might be ok. Also has 1500 miles on it. Took it on first ride, ok snow scratchers down, temp good. Made it about 12 miles and died in about 25 yards. Pulled plugs and pto side plug had aluminum on it.
Sent off jug to get repaired. bought a wisco piston kit and gaskets. Was told that I did not need to put a fix kit on a 2010 so went with what i was told. Tell me if I am wrong on that because I got more to this story.
Put all back together and seemed to run great. pre-mixed the fuel with two sixteen ounce bottles of lucas two stroke oil. I was going to break the motor in on a nice poker ride, but was unable to go so mine son took it for me. He later contacted me letting me know that he stopped frequently and check the plugs he notice that they were dry and had a grey color and that the oil tank was got getting any lower. He added more oil to the fuel and he said that it got better and ran fine getting back to vehicle.
Got sled back to shop and did a compression test, it was about 95 psi per cylinder. Removed exhaust to look at pistons and jugs. Appears to light scuffing on jugs and graphite coating on piston is almost gone.
Removed motor to see what the problem with oiler is. Oil lines are full of oil supply line full and no bubble in it. I removed the oiler, the shaft in motor seems fine and pump seems to be alright but not sure of internal workings.
Do you folks had have and answers. should I take it back apart and put a fix kit in it, and any answers on oil issue.
Thanks for the time! Oh ya its got about 50 miles on it now.
