Does anyone own a 1998 700 RMK. I have owned one for 4 years and have had nothing but trouble with it. I have a low end bog that won’t go away. might possibly sell it. any help would be appreciated. got one with over 6000 miles and havent touched the bottom end. I had a bog too but did some clutching and installed slp power packs and it runs great.
What’s the best cylinder compression for an outboard?
However, four cycle engine cylinder compression should still be within 10% cylinder-to-cylinder. Older two cycle outboards, especially low horsepower, can run fine around 60 psi however above 90 psi is optimal. Four stroke/cycle engines produce much higher compression. The main thing to check is the difference between cylinder compression.
What kind of engine does a Polaris 700 RMK have?
The 700 RMK is powered by a U.S.-built liquid-cooled 700cc twin with digital CD ignition, case-reed induction, lightweight new die-cast cylinder heads, and a pair of easy-pull Keihin 39mm D-slide carburetors. The power feeds the aggressive 15xl36-inch track with 1.75-inch deep lugs, the deepest lugs ever used by Polaris as standard equipment.
Why is my Polaris RMK snowmobile having problems?
That one side might be flooding out, which washes oil off the cylinder walls and lowers compression. Try putting some injection oil down the spark plug hole and pull it over a few times then repeat the compression test. If it stays low, there is an engine problem. If it goes up to 120 like the other one, then I think that side has a fuel issue.

Can a bad crank seal cause a low idle?
Click to expand… im going through my sled motor right now due to a bad crank seal and it caused a low idle due to the fact that the cylinder on that side of the crank would not fire at idle because it didnt have enough vacume to suck gas through the carb but the either, or carb cleaner trick will tell you for sure if the seal is bad
