leech~~ Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was a Ski Doo guy for many years. I have had 4 Ski Doos and burn and replaced pistons on 3 of them. Since then I have had 3 Polaris and haven't lost a piston on any of them! Polaris guy now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver55 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Being a mechanic, in all seriousness, I'd have to say the maker who's owners pay the least attention to jetting and carb maintainance burn the most pistons. None are exempt! All makers have gotten leaner and leaner to meet new emission standards for snowmobiles. If it matters....I have replaced far more personally on Polaris than Skidoo, and I own Skidoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 What Mac said. A lean condition will cook a cylinder. While you can cook a one lunger, twins and triples are more prone because that lean condition can get masked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
