Hey man, I saw you originally from TikTok about a year ago. It's nice to see an honest guy putting in some honest work. Also, I love Polaris, even though I'm a Suzuki guy :)
I’m glad you made your way over here on TH-cam. I’ve always liked Polaris sleds but the reliability of the Suzuki engines in the Arctic cats was hard to beat.
Love the videos don’t usually get here this fast but just so happen to open TH-cam right after you posted. You are where I vision myself on a few years after college for power sports mechanic
The fact you have 14 k views on this video but 784 likes??? What the heck show homies videos some love he doing what most people can’t do! Fix “junk” as some people would call it! Keep up the good videos dude I love being able to learn new stuff even if it’s something I know I’d never own in my entire life
I love the older stuff, it's just built better. I'm the same way and have a hard time junking something. I guess it would have to be in really bad shape to do something like that.
usually when the speedo cable is broken means the jack shaft bearings are going or about to go also ur reverse issue is probably just a adjustment should be a relatively easy fix! enjoyed the video thanks
I’m surprised that’s a normal noise, it sounds pretty loud. I haven’t been on an edge in a couple years though. My 700 classic doesn’t whine like this one.
Real enjoy your videos , I'm always messing with old sleds, or bikes , got a 82 bravo I'm getting back on the snow after ten years of sitting, I say it's for my grand kids but I like wrenching on old stuff, the rack mikuni carbs are definitely better on the 03 Polaris, amazing how good it idles,, they don't seem to get crapped up like round slides or butter fly carbs, I'd definitely ride that, keep the vids coming, thanks
Those 700’s were bulletproof, I had a 99 xc I pulled outta the bushes and cleaned it up changed the plugs vacuumed out the airbox and it started 2nd pull, I sold it that weekend for 1000 bucks 🤣
Polaris only make 5 ignitions. If you have a few sleds check the keys. They have little dots to mark them under the words polaris. Me and the wife both have 700s 03 sks 03 classic touring. Your chaincase needs adjustment. Reverse will skip with loose chain. Need to remove muffler to get at it. Loosen jam nut then finger tight bolt.
Nice sled that M10 skid Polaris uses is quite the sauce! I sent you a message man on your dm didn’t know about possibly getting the Honda fixed for the fishing derby we’re having up here feb 9-10 island derby be nice for tip up chasing! If not all good I know you got a lot going on with the newborn and other customers
Starting fluid literally evaporates the second you spray it. Thats why it usually only works if your turning over a mcahinr while your spraying it in the intake. Spraying it in plug holes is basically useless because the time it takes to put the plugs in
Hey Rock, congrats on the new addition to the household! I do have an atv question if you don't mind. I've always liked the Suzuki 250/300 quadrunner and it's Arctic Cat brother, I currently have a 2005 Arctic Cat 250. If you had to chose a machine that would be relatively bulletproof, with the correct maintenance, what would it be? I wish I still had a sled in my life. My 73 Bombardier TNT 340 was a wicked fast sled with zero suspension. You ride the trails with older sleds, just like older motorcycles. Thanks for all the great content!
My GoPro has a built in GPS. I need to remember to turn it on though, that’s why I wasn’t sure I’d have the gps speed. And thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
You have any tip what to check on a vintage sled that wont start? it ran last year but not good and i heard kind od a "spittig" sound from the exhaust. Have changed sparkplugs,ignition cabels and hats,ignition coil ,and the sparkplugs get wet so i have fuel pumping.
I recently bought a 1994 Polaris Indy Classic 500 EFI with around 1200 miles on it. I checked the compression, and it has good compression. However, it only fires for a bit if I spray starter fluid down the cylinder. Could this be a fuel delivery issue? And how could I fix this? Thank you
Not sure on the polaris' but on the arctic cats if the speedometer didnt work usually the clutch side track bearing was toast and the key in end of axle would shear off and youd have no speedometer
Bought a 1996 xcr 600 triple triple wirh slp pipes and revers for 100 bucks put an xlt 580 motor in it and it has a hard time keeping the skis on the ground
Once I saw that edge x 700 I knew it would run for you. My 02 edge x 700 had almost 16,000 miles when I sold it and still had 140psi. Never rebuilt. Yours isnt running that great. Top end you should have seen about 80 mph when you went full throttle. Clean those carbs, replace the fuel line in the tank. Clean the power valves. The whining is the roller tensioner in the chain case. It's totally normal. The speedo out means the driveshaft bearing is going out. They break the speedo key when the bears start going bad. I would NOT make that the parts sled.
Wow that’s some decent mileage for a 2 stroke! This one certainly wasn’t running 100% but at the end I was still able to get 87mph on the gps down the road.
@rockspowersports yeah I saw that! I commented too soon haha. It really seemed to clear up that last rip. Will be fun to see what you do with it and how it runs if you go through everything.
I say part the classic and keep the edge. Saying the ves isnt as reliable because its just more parts isnlike saying a 4.3 chevy is more reliable than a 350 because it has 2 less pistons. Im not a polaris guy but those ves 700's are as reliable as a hammer.

love your videos, i wish i wasnt across the entire country cause you'd be the only person id trust with my atv
Appreciate hearing that.
Love the videos don’t usually get here this fast but just so happen to open TH-cam right after you posted. You are where I vision myself on a few years after college for power sports mechanic
Glad to hear that! And there is certainly a need for more Power sports mechanics.
Love the content rock! Trying to get use to this platform! Im behind behind! Hope the family is well!
Hey @CaptinKrunch ! I’m glad you made your way over to TH-cam.
@rockspowersports now I can toss on a video while I'm in bed and I don't gotta scroll!
I buy sleds for parts and always always end up keeping them.
That’s how it goes.. gets expensive keeping everything though haha
Use the classic for parts fix the edge up! That would be a nice project to see from beginning to end. I almost bought that sled! That same exact sled.
You are a bad influence. You are enabling my "buying-junk-and-fixing-it" habit.
Haha I’m a bad influence on myself as well..
Buy lightly used. Then you get to have a nice machine and not fix it to be able to enjoy it.
@@thecarcastleableow, ur that dude in the comments, u know irony?
@@turjiyour thunder: meh.
Buying junk? You need to start finding it after they've decided it's junk themselves and put it out for free.
I would buy those sleds to! Lot's of them out there. Cheap to buy easy to fix! thanks for your video!
Thanks for your videos I'm 26 and I love riding these older sleds than the newer ones I don't know why. Keep up the great content!
More Polaris content! Love it
Great segment Rock!
Lesson learned here is dont try and get a parts machine running because then you’ll not want to part it out . lol
Absolutely.. I have that problem anyways..
I just bought a 700 X edge 02 I believe esr and a 03 zl 800, hope all is well ol boy good to see you still tinkering on stuff
Sweet! You been running them around?
@@rockspowersports the 800 yes, the edge is in nh currently until I can pick it up
Put the suspension from the edge on the classic. And the starter. I really like that blue and yellow looks good
They are sharp looking sleds.
Hey rock congrats ok the kid glad you’re doing good. Have a great night.
Hey Jonathan, I appreciate that. Thank you!

I have the 800 and its a bear to pull start when cold. Usually starts on first or second pull. Great engine.
Really enjoying the snowmobile video's. Keep it up
I'm glad you like them, there's plenty more to come.
Now you have two snowmobiles that you're not going to want to pull apart
You’re right, I don’t want to.. but I have to.
i have a 2003 edge x 800 great sleds, great chassy lots of fun. Bullit proof motor
Great content man, more of these please! I’m working on an almost identical Edge currently 😆 💪🏻
Thanks, glad you enjoy it. They’ll be plenty more coming. And good luck on your Edge.
I had an 02 edge x 600 and I loved that thing
Earliest I’ve ever been! Great content as always
Nice! And thanks appreciate it.
usually when the speedo cable is broken means the jack shaft bearings are going or about to go also ur reverse issue is probably just a adjustment should be a relatively easy fix! enjoyed the video thanks
They just need some love little maintenance. Little cleaning up carbs cleaned the ounce cleaned
If you clean the power valves it’ll make a huge difference, I had the same sled but an 05 and it would do 115mph on the gps, fast fun old sled
Great videos, keep them coming
Amazing! didn't even have to clean the carbs, well you were Due a good one after the fiasco with those last ATV's!
Congratulatons on the second born thank you for sharng your vdeos
Thank you.
I wanted one of these soooo badly when they came out
Super sharp sleds and at the time probably one of the best riding sleds until the rev come out anyways.
Great video! Should try running a bore scope in the cylinders see if you can tell if it has wiseco pistons…
Congratulations on the baby!
Thank you! And yes I should take a peek in there and see what it’s got.
thay whine is normal on the edge sleds. bought an 04 500 brand new and always had that sound. was a beast. 105 horse out of the box.
I’m surprised that’s a normal noise, it sounds pretty loud. I haven’t been on an edge in a couple years though. My 700 classic doesn’t whine like this one.
@rockspowersports yeah it was very annoying for sure! almost thought it was some sort of engine brake lol
Bet you got a great deal on that sled. Love the snowmobile videos!! just rebuilt my 600 liberty engine that the crank bearings went bad on.
Real enjoy your videos , I'm always messing with old sleds, or bikes , got a 82 bravo I'm getting back on the snow after ten years of sitting, I say it's for my grand kids but I like wrenching on old stuff, the rack mikuni carbs are definitely better on the 03 Polaris, amazing how good it idles,, they don't seem to get crapped up like round slides or butter fly carbs, I'd definitely ride that, keep the vids coming, thanks
I use an old mid 80s indy oil bottle ( the ones without the sender for oil level) for a remote fuel tank.
That’s actually a good idea! You can keep it under the hood as well when testing them out.
Those 700’s were bulletproof, I had a 99 xc I pulled outta the bushes and cleaned it up changed the plugs vacuumed out the airbox and it started 2nd pull, I sold it that weekend for 1000 bucks 🤣
Great video again Rock. ☃️👍👍🇨🇦
Fun sleds!
Sounds like the brake is dragging a bit. Fix her up though! That's a good machine

Your a 1 man army rock ovitt

If you part it out id love the yellow fishbone rivet on tunnel supports!!
Stuff that thing flys cheers.
Starting fluid literally evaporates the second you spray it. Thats why it usually only works if your turning over a mcahinr while your spraying it in the intake. Spraying it in plug holes is basically useless because the time it takes to put the plugs in
Funny stuff , just going balls out , not knowing what might fly off 😆👍🏻👍🏻
Are you up in the northeast kingdom of Vermont?
Sleds are nice to have, but too weather dependent. This is the third winter in a row with no snow in NY where I live.

15:44 How did you apply the real-time mph to the video? Camera option? Your videos and 2vintage's videos are the best!
My GoPro has a built in GPS. I need to remember to turn it on though, that’s why I wasn’t sure I’d have the gps speed. And thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
Between the BRAAAP with the throttle wide open and the drive chain whine on braking, all that is missing is the smell. Ahh!
You have any tip what to check on a vintage sled that wont start? it ran last year but not good and i heard kind od a "spittig" sound from the exhaust.
Have changed sparkplugs,ignition cabels and hats,ignition coil ,and the sparkplugs get wet so i have fuel pumping.
What camera do you use that has a gps in it?
It’s built in on my Go Pro
Start a rental fleet. Rock's 700 rentals.
Haha not a bad idea.
Congratulations on your son how much is computer to digitalization of what works or not
Sir, do you still have the can am 4 seater ? That you were selling?
I recently bought a 1994 Polaris Indy Classic 500 EFI with around 1200 miles on it. I checked the compression, and it has good compression. However, it only fires for a bit if I spray starter fluid down the cylinder. Could this be a fuel delivery issue? And how could I fix this? Thank you
I was surprised how little work that edge needed. Probably good you bought that one for parts. I’m sure you could gain a few bucks off that classic.
I have an 2011 king quad 400 with no spark what is more likely to be bad on it the cdi or the stator
Not sure on the polaris' but on the arctic cats if the speedometer didnt work usually the clutch side track bearing was toast and the key in end of axle would shear off and youd have no speedometer
I love the edge 700x sled that’s ma mean sled
Bought a 1996 xcr 600 triple triple wirh slp pipes and revers for 100 bucks put an xlt 580 motor in it and it has a hard time keeping the skis on the ground
That sounds like a fun project and a great price. Love those old triples.
@rockspowersports it is way faster than my 1998 rmk 600 twin
Picked up a Yamaha 600cc vmax sx 3 cylinder snowmobile today for free!!!
The wine in the chain case is totally normal
I WAS GONNA BUY THAT EDGE X FOR $500! daaaaang it!
Fix the edge x. They are great sleds.
I think I’ll fix it up at some point. I do like that sled.
Sure hope your customer isn't in a hurry!😅
Let’s hope not..
congrats on apprentice #2 :D
Got me to thinking. My Toyota Tacoma is running fine; but if I tell my wife I need a parts Tacoma, I can have two trucks.😂
That’s me I want them all.
Nice good vid
Hey Rock, how can I get ahold of you for advice?
Run ry57ycc champs. Those run best with those ignitions
I got a sled i want to get running you can put those parts in! 05 xc sp 700 im in nh
Need a bigger windshield
Bpr plugs are not for those libertys also. The p is for protruding tip. Not good
Once I saw that edge x 700 I knew it would run for you. My 02 edge x 700 had almost 16,000 miles when I sold it and still had 140psi. Never rebuilt.

@rockspowersports yeah I saw that! I commented too soon haha. It really seemed to clear up that last rip. Will be fun to see what you do with it and how it runs if you go through everything.
Definitely sounds like pilot jets or one is clogged. Running on one cylinder at idle
Don't run with out a battery. You can burn out your voltage regulator.
But don't some of them not even come with a battery or electric start to begin with?
On snowgos
Stay warm up in gods country from Milton
Absolutely, past couple days have been awfully cold.
I cant wait to go tomarrow now. Lol. We got about 3.5 feet in buffalo ny. Your not gonna part that out. Lol
Arkansas Waven
Hey John!
Just alil comment love
Frm chi
I say part the classic and keep the edge. Saying the ves isnt as reliable because its just more parts isnlike saying a 4.3 chevy is more reliable than a 350 because it has 2 less pistons. Im not a polaris guy but those ves 700's are as reliable as a hammer.
Man you can TALK LOL
Gotta fill the time in with something lol
Dame that's a fast manchine hit over 90 easy
take oldest if we had snow!Z
How hard would it be to say swap that 700 into the 350 Big Bear😂
You sure you never grabbed the wrong machine lol
find another one thats too good to be part's lol
87mhwow
Pretty bad when the parts machines turn out to be runners
So do we sell.or part out. You sound like a baby in a candy store. Over the moon id say shell sit in the yard for personal use lol
first
Nobody asked or cares
yup first loser to say first in a video and for some reason proud of it!!!lol
