Hi guys,
I just bought my first sled. It's a late 80s Exciter with a water cooled 570. When I bought it I was told it just needed carb work but after rebuilding the carbs I have now been told that the crank seal is sucking air causing the motor to rev at very high rpm and that it would be easier to replace the motor than tear this one apart to replace this seal.
So my options are to save some cash for a new or used motor and probably wait till next year to ride, or buy a wrecked phazer with a air cooled 570 that runs great and try to transfer the track, skis, plastics pretty much everything over from my exciter.Does anybody know if they are interchangable. They look the same and the phazer is only $100.
Just hoping for some feedback/help. I live in michigan and the snow is melting fast.
Thanks for reading,
Jimmy
