Just picked up a 2005 summit 1000 x 162" sled today for 1500, with a blown engine. From what I can see, the piston skirt broke, and got jammed into the case from the crank. So it has a small crack in the one side of the water jacket near the waterpump and there is a piece broke off the stator side? From what he told me, the bolts that held the clutch together came apart, wore into the motor mount and then into the case which resulted in a lean running condition and finally a boom. From looking at the throttle bodies and the crud in them, I think the belt dust got into it, and started getting to the pistons. Either way is possible I guess.
I bought it thinking I could rob parts off the machine for my 144" to make it a 162". But after looking at it im really thinking about trying to get the 1000 going. Am I nuts?
So my question is, do I try and fix the engine and run it or just forget about it, get the parts I need to make my 800 a 162 and part the rest out? Any input is greatly appreciated!
Here are a couple pics.
