killed the kitty

[posnick]

i guess 4 days of riding in a row was too much for kitty. was out with timbo and friends yesterday (awesome day!) when the bolt that holds on the primary busted inside the crank. now the primary and secondary both have gouges on the sheaves. so i need to find someone that can drill out the rest of the bolt. who knows if a polaris primary will bolt right? any suggestions on this would be great!

buy your self a set of left hand drill bits as you drilling it grabs and unscrews the bolt. make sure you use reverse on drill it works great.

From your description - The broken bolt came out and thrashed your clutch faces or did the whole primary fall off the crank ? Please let us know how the " easy out (left hand drill bit )" method works . Good luck

Can you post pics of the sheave faces?!

Can you post pics of the sheave faces?!

i can, but in pics it just looks like scratchs. on the primary, if you slide your fingernail, the gauges are deep enough to catch it.
