Am I expecting too much?

Loaded sled tonight… fouled a plug. Put it in reverse at 83 degrees, died a few seconds after it restarted. Does the 850 tend to foul plugs when the sled is shut off and then restarted before getting up over 100 degrees or so?

Seems like my 2019 850 did that, same with this sled.

Yes, but not exclusively. Track which cylinders foul for a pattern. I have been finding a few defective coil packs helping cause this issue as well.

Test them all you want, you’ll never be able to duplicate the intermittent drop outs of spark.

Btw, Do you need a go fund me for some plugs? I can help if you do.

I haven’t changed a spark plug since 2017 when I went back to Doo.

i changed my boost to the br9eya and no more plug fouling. now polaris recommends going to a 8 not sure how with fuel injection they can be so far off on the mixture. WTF polaris do better

I haven't bought a brand new sled since about 2000 when they Costo'ized their business model and made it impossible for the small "service oriented" mom and pop dealers to meet their sales quotas. I knew that was the end of decent service and dealers that truly cared about their customers. All my sleds since have been made from scratch from the best stock and aftermarket parts I can source, and I still typically do my own modifications on every single one to meet my quality, strength, and performance criteria.

Sorry the big box dealers are screwing you over, but I saw it coming nearly three decades ago. There is no service anymore (anywhere), and there are so many loopholes in warranty and insurance contracts they are worthless and a giant waste of money as well. Pick what you want. Buy it outright, maintain it yourself. Ride happy! FiretrUCK the S(d)dealers!
