Other 96 Polaris 600 XCR triple help

[Joker]

I got a buddy who wants me to work on his sled. I have no knowledge of sleds but i am mechanically inclined and figured a top end rebuild and carb rebuild would be very similar to a jet ski engine. He said that he did some dumb stuff and licoriceed the top end up. I havent touched it yet nor have i seen it, just going on his word of condition. Along with a top end rebuild i mentioned he should rebuild the carbs on it while everything else would be apart. . i cant find a carb rebuild kit anywhere for one. i found a top end gasket kit, rings and pistons but not carb rebuild kits.

What is it? XLT? XCR?

 

[Joker]

96 polaris xcr 600 triple.

 

[jetskijockey]

Wedge or aggressive chassis? Monoblock motor?

 

[Joker]

No idea. Lol I can ask. Does the chassis have anything to do with the engine?

 

[jetskijockey]

The monoblock had some oiling issues with the crank. I think the 96'smight be the newer style motor with individual jugs on it. Much better motor.

 

[Joker]

Alright any chance you know where to get a carb rebuild kit

 

[jetskijockey]

You can't really rebuild the carbs. The N/S should be replaced if needed. Dennis kirk or eBay.

 

[Joker]

Are there pumps that have diaphrams and what not that need to be replaced

 

[jetskijockey]

I'm just going out on a limb here and say that the motor will need to be pulled, crank inspected/rebuild and trueing. Then new top end which the cylinders are nikasil.

 

[Joker]

Oh boy. At that point he will give up haha. When I get it I will pull the top end and go from there.

I've always wanted one of them. You can find them for around 500-1500 bucks around here. Looks like a fun beater sled.

 

[Joker]

I think thats why he owns it.

 

[jetskijockey]

Make sure to check out the water pump on it too. You don't have a pic of it do you?

 

[BruceSki]

I almost scored a running one for 600 two winters ago. Then we got a big snowstorm and the guy decide to keep it.

Hell for $600 id be happy if it ran for three rides.

 

[Joker]

Hahaha. Ya and no pics sorry man. I wont have it until like the second week in may but im just trying to get prices for all of the scenarios so he knows what the cost will be.

 

[jetskijockey]

Sounds like $$$$ if the topend has been fubard. Those motors are not your everyday cup of tea.

 

[Joker]

Why so? Bad design? Bitch to work on?

 

[jetskijockey]

Can't really say until I see what motor it has. The XCR SP had 680 ultra motor variant. Might be worth rebuilding. The XCR had the monoblock xlt motor. That when it comes to rebuilding I would throw in the towel.
