CigarGuy Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Not on backwards. I think they gave him the wrong clutch. But, what do I know about snowmobiles . He wanted to see if it would start, won't do that again. Bill, at the sled shop in Cook is going to take care of us for just about what the clutch cost. Can't get to it till Sunday. Son is going to have to take the girlie sled(wife's) out tomorrow. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my cousins reply was about the same thing about a bad crank and that may be why the Org clutch went down?. If so not sure it may be worth the cost of a total rebuild.

To me from the pictures it looks like the crank came apart" Edited February 2, 2019 by leech~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarGuy Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 The shavings are from the back of clutch binding against the motor- wearing it down. If we had it running how could it be a bad crank? Don't know much about this kind of stuff, but would it still run if the crank was bad?

Wanderer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) My sledhead SIL figures you DID get the wrong clutch. There should be numbers on the clutches. Do the old and new clutch numbers match? Your replacement clutch should be about an inch away from the block when installed. He figures you could take the backing plate off the old clutch and reuse that. Just tossing out a couple ideas. I haven’t worked on many sled motors myself. Plenty of autos but that’s not the same... By the way, according to him, Fusion 600’s weren’t noted as having bad cranks as much as the bigger blocks. Dragon 900’s were bad too.

A different person helped him first and gave him a clutch, the main guy came in and noticed it was wrong and grabbed one and that he said will work. Thanks!
