Uh Oh

[Scott Stein]

So CourtlandKid,Tyler23 and a bunch of other guys went riding today. We were screwin around on a buddies private lake,when I was gunna hit a drift I clamped on it and it sounded like it fouled a plug and then died. I went to start it and the rope was tight. You can still move the primary clutch back and forth about 2-3 inches. It does have a sleeve in it,not sure which cylinder. Thinkin maybe the rod broke? What do you guys think? It's a 99 SuperSport 550

sounds like a rod. or a cracked sleeve. If you still have some movement it might not be to bad to fix.

Scott, i've had an engine cylinder cease up when running on lakes a few times on different sleds, and after cooling down a few minutes there was some movement. 2 of them I actually got to restart and drove off the lake, but had to rebuild the cylinder. Do a compression check if you can get it to turn over?
