perc help 08 700

[Keng]

2008 rmk 700. for some odd reason when i go to put in reverse. nothing. engine just dies. its not like its even trying to go into reverse. and it worked like 5 min before that.. any help on what to look for would be greatly appreciated

 

[timbo]

have to let it warm up,mine does it once in a while.if it's warm i would say low compression.

120 psi both cylinders checked it a few days ago.. just replaced a bellows. but ill have to check that again tomororw.. bu the way thanks for the part number on the wheels whould have them tomorrow.. now hope its just rings.. and to find them on such short notice. eveything here is a week wait for parts.

 

[dooryder]

just give it a little gas while its going into reverse

 

[Keng]

yeah tried that too. when i was having a low idle issue.. now its idling great.. i also changed the belt.. could that maybe cause problems im gonna check the adjustment on it in the morning to make sure its not rubbing on anything

 

[timbo]

what does it idle at?

 

[Keng]

btween 1750 and 1850

 

[timbo]

belt might cause it to stall out

 

[Keng]

ill check that in the AM cause i mean it still pulls like crazy so really doubt its low on compression.. but who know i did have to hold the throtle to get it started at one time

brothers 07 700 has 120ish compression goes into reverse ok.if it worked before i would say it's something else,belt bad plugs?

 

[Keng]

well lets see.. belt new. plugs new.. bpr9eix one new belows on the exhaust valvle.. both valves clean.. good fuel. 120 comp.. so must be belt adjustment.. i hope. lol. crossing fingers.

 

[timbo]

take belt off start engine try rev,don't rev up

 

[Keng]

yeah thats a good idea.. why didnt i think of that. lol.. just hate to bring it in to dealer for possible electronics problems.. can get expensive quick

 

[Keng]

pulled thebelt off tried it.. but i noticed my sled was idling around the 1500 1600 mark.. so im guessing thats the problem gave it gas till 1700 hit the button and in reverse she goes. can that be adjusted or do i need a reflash on the computer.

 

[timbo]

follow throttle cable should be ajustable.

 

[Keng]

yeah ill do that.. i just find it odd that she would lose on the rpms at idle all of a sudden
