Sweet video! I'm not ordering anything til after new years. I used to be in delivery, I feel for those guys but can feel your frustration. It'll give you time for a snow dance! Carry on.
Todd, you're saving some of the most important sleds of a generation, and improving them at the same time, it's amazing to see. The technology on the new sleds is great, but nothing will ever take the place of the raw power and simplicity of these sleds. You should do an old Speedway 440- those things were a beast back in the day, it would be awesome to see what you could do with one!
Looks like you guys are a little short on snow too, as we are here in Wisconsin. Great work guys!! Although I don't have time to do one of these myself, I'll be there in spirit with a cold beer...
Oh man this video just made me want to cry. Thay sled is beautiful I'm sitting here just trying to do a snow dance so we can get some snow so I can rip my sled. Props to you for making that monster.
Hi... TR from Burton Michigan near Flint... I got a 97 storm aggressive Hood 2300 MI... wrench on it more than I ride it really... was looking at yours there... your fuel pumps are moving around in ways they maybe shouldn't be... fuel pump bracket loose..??
Not sure where you sent your pump but if it's in the northeast there was a 60 car pile up here in Pennsylvania and there was a lot of FedEx trucks involved
Hi I have a question about tuning my 94 XLT at idle it sounds like it's running steady instead of rumbling it's hard to explain can't find any answers online yet besides maybe needle clips need to be moved up to the second notch from the top possibly air screws I just blew up an engine and put another engine in it today after blowing a track off both times doing 80 mph within one week the new engine has awesome compression it's a monoblock 580 I do not want to blow it up
I ran my ultra without the water pump, it’ll be fine! Same thing with mine from getting rebuilt, took longer to get back than it did to get there, but remember, it’s right before Christmas! It’s busy for shipping!
I see you have the same egt gauge on each triple, that shows all 3 cylinders at same time. What make is that gauge? Where do you get it? Can you put it on triples that have a single pipe?
I feel your fed ex issues. I needed to ship a pair of window regulators to Puerto Rico . I was quoted $145. Ok next day which is today December 20 and was told that is would cost me $318 to ship it fed ex priority and it would get there on dec 27. I was like umm what they then say I can ship it regular freight for $209 and it would be there on dec 23. Um baffled on the shipping dates and a little hot about me taking it in the shorts $64 that cut into my profit on my parts I had no choice.
I bent some thick aluminum like that before. It was thicker than what I wanted but it was available and free. I took the bend one miniscule pump to far on the brake. Half of that piece of 5/16 aluminum plate came flying out right into the the bare palms of my hands. 9 stitches in the palm of one hand and 12 in the other. They wanted to do 13 but I said no, it's bad luck
The sled sounds great! All the carriers are bogged down with the holidays and COVID. I sent a money order through the postal system 1 1/2 weeks ago to a guy 3 hours away and as of today, he still hasn't received it, go figure.
Why wouldn’t you have put on the 96’ cylinders that were updated and didn’t have the water plug above the exhaust. I had a 95 storm and those cylinders made a huge difference
Needs 3x the size of stock pilot jet from being 60 over. Then from there prolly 1-2 more up with pilot bc of the after market pipes. Same exact idea with main jet 3-4 sizes bigger then stock bc of being 3 sizes over and account for pipes.Then you want your air screws all of them at 1 to 1.5 turns out i set the carb idle screws 3.5 turns out. When your at this point check to make sure your slides all open n close same time. Set the slide needle middle notch and go out and do plug chops. Read plugs and raise/lower needle/change jets till you have the right heat indexing on the ground strap. You want a good cardboard brown color on your porcelain run b9es in the summer and b8es in the winter and dont use resistor plugs it will limit power. Im not sure why your running water cooling?? it will freeze the impeller and shatter fins on it. Evans waterless is much better for it has a much higher boiling point then water. Boiling water in a cyl is a blown head gasket good luck
The storm was the first case reed triple from fuji and it's the only one that parts weren't directly interchangeable with the other ultra/xcr based case reed triples that followed. It was a bit of an oddball. Stock jetting was 350/370/390 mains. The up-jetting on this particular storm is definitely due the light port work on the case/cylinders. It's the only fuji case reed triple that every cylinder needed different jetting, it was something to do with the engine having scavenging issues between cylinders. on the ultra/xcr triples, only the mag side had scavenging issues.
Is this a customers sled or your own sled? Would be really interested to see what the piston wash looks like once you get some carbon built up to see if the staggered jets is actually that critical.
Very common due to differences in the pipes, cylinders themselves, intakes etc hole to hole. Happens in twins, too. I had a built Banshee that was several sizes different in the main, needle clips, and pilots.
Even on my 03 700 sks i have to run staggered jetting because of the slp mods. Just rebuilt it 5 days ago so I'll be re checking wash/ plugs often as soon as we get some rideable snurrrr
@@Mogachaffe I have a '94 storm. Completely stock other than custom stingers/collector. I've never had the heads off to see what the piston wash is like, but I did have to up jet because of the collector. Last time I had it out all the plugs were burning very similarly. It's still a tad bit rich, but that's most likely to do with the startor being on its way out and the beyond hacked up wiring from a one of the previous owners.
Shipping sucks everywhere. I got a package shipped to me priority from a 1.75 hour drive away(same state) and it took 8 days. It actually went to 2 other states while making it back to NJ. Looked like someone drove over it. Since mid Oct I have had 8 Amazon packages go missing or returned to vendor and 2 others nobody knows what happened to them-one says shipped the other says no but had said yes. Covid is just a reason for folks to slack, it's total BS and it hurts folks like us that depend on packages
Please taech him to let the recoil grab before he pulls through to start the sled. What he’s doing is the fastest way to ruin a recoil. Lol. PLEASE FOR ME TODD!! 😅
We'll have to work on his recoil skills. In his defense it's an animal to pull over. He said it really really hurt his hand when the engine failed to start. Thanks for watching

We have a thing for um for sure!
Seems very warm in the weather that you’ve guys started it up in
I'm not a Polaris guy, "BUT" Yes, they sound nice. I also hear the backfires.
Turned out beautiful! I always love your enthusiasm. It's infectious! New subscriber from Ontario.

Send the snow this way! Thanks man
Outstanding work dude u always knock it out it of the park again
Thanks so much
Your work is awesome. I'd love to own a sled like that.
Thank you
Love catching these updates. Just got back from Green Bay with a rebuilt engine for my 98 XLT SP.
Nice
Music to my ears.. such eye candy!! 👍
Beautiful looking sled sounds amazing too hope you have a great Christmas love your videos keep them coming
We'll keep making them. Hope you have happy holidays!
I can’t wait to hear ultra redemption sing man that really sucks that fed ex is delayed
Hopefully this week.
To me those are the glory years of sleds.
I agree
That sled is so cool nice job boys 👍👊
Thanks Brother
makes me miss my old flannery built storm. Had the same DG silencers on mine and everything.
I'm so jealous that your posting riding videos. Green grass still in Minnesota. Love your videos

yes it is
@@toddclyne3493 how much work involved? Lol
That sound brings me back.
Thanks for watching
What does the extra cooling line in the front of the cylinders help with?
Helps get the over heated coolant out of the front of the cylinders. It was a problem on the 93,94 and early 95 storm engines.
@@toddclyne3493 Awesome to know, my 93 storm just over heated and blew the clutch side, might have to do this

Just picked up a bone stock 96 xlt 600 anything I should do to keep it alive other than keep the carbs clean and keep the throttle off the bar ?
Crank bearings was there down fall
Todd Clyne will be the reason Polaris makes a triple again. I just scored a XCR600SP.
I hope so

@@primeau2475 find me on Facebook and message me. Would love to see pics. One day I just might to a complete ground up custom build.
Where did you get the top end of the motor? That's after market obviously isn't it?
Yes sure. Most of it was from summit racing
Why wouldn’t you have put on the 96’ cylinders that were updated and didn’t have the water plug above the exhaust.
I had a 95 storm and those cylinders made a huge difference
Takes a different case then also.
Nice job todd. To bad i wont get to see it on the lake this year
Why do all the racers have their tachs turned sideways?
Where can a guy find a water pump for a storm. Or a rebuild kit?
Hehe, just laughing at myself, I enjoy these videos and I don't like the snow. Must be the craftsmanship

Best sleds out there!!!! Keep those old girls running!!!!!!
We will
I am new here but I love the old 90s sleds, ohh the memories, fyi, FEDEX = Castaway 😉
Found one of these for sale in MN Todd, I kinda want to save it. It’s for 110 psi for compression, What should it have?
over 120
Thanks, I passed. It was 100-110-100! Good man Todd.
That’s one greasy fuckin triple right there! Nice job 👍🏻
How far is the primary to the drive clutch trying to set mine
How much horsepower is this making?
160 ish. It's in a different sled now running rack carbs and different pipes
I ordered a fule pump rebuild kit and it took two weeks after the package was accepted by usps to deliver it. From Minnesota to Michigan.
From Dennis Kirk? I just ordered from them, took 7 day to ship it 30 miles!
@@toddclyne3493 no from ebay but I did order some other stuff off dennis kirk and that took about two weeks also

They need too bring the triples back into the new forward rider chassis of today cause they are so much better but man those triples are cool

Thanks man
I have owned many snowmobiles, new and used, never had one that ran on all its cylinders consistently
sucks to be you ....i never had one that didnt run on all cyl consistently.....called maintenance.....

You bet!
Rose is gonna be a ripper, I just know it. Poor old girls had a rough life.

Why such staggered main jets if that's what the blue masking tape on the clutch cover means?
