I ran my sled around some today and it was only running on 1. It is a fresh engine rebuild about a month ago. I ran it around some then and it ran great. got home today and it ran like crap. got back in the shop, check compression (140ish in each), torn down carbs, cleaned the jets, checked over everything else imaginable and still can't figure the thing out. compression is good, plenty of spark, plenty of fuel.... any suggestion is welcome!!!
HELP!! 04 REV 800HO Running on 1 cyl.
- Thread starter skidoo_03
- Start date
I lost one side and the mech said that there was a faulty check valve on the oiling system for the bottom end, also lost bottom end bearings and crank over this.
we figured it out. the crankshaft slipped. instead of being 180 degrees off they are 90 degrees. not sure how that happened. the crankshaft was remanned so something must have happened. now I gotta tear the whole sled down again and replace the crank! 
Where did you get the reman crank from?
crankstud off of ebay.
Let us know how this turns out. I would gather this would be something they would warranty.. no?
ya. i contacted the guy already. he said he has only seen that happen on turbo sleds and not often. so it was just a freak deal. and he is throwing in a gasket set. so he is making right on the deal. it just sucks cuz of the time for taking the engine out and all. and I just did it a couple months ago! lol
got the crank back, reassembled engine, back in sled ready to start up in about 4 hours. not bad! except it doesn't start. no spark. checked coil volts and that is good. checked ohms, thats good. but still no spark. no idea whats going on once again. this Rev is sure difficult! lol any ideas are welcome. might try swapping coils out with my dads tomorrow.
a somewhat related question, do any of you rev guys know if you light and/or tach light up when you try starting your sled. I noticed mine doesn't flicker or anything. kinda odd because I remember my 96 Formula SLS always did.
