He has never respected anyone here..I hope it’s only temporary and that people can respect other peoples opinions when it differs from your own.
What in the world happened to this thing?!Anyone in need of a 997? Only 30 min of run time “supposedly”….. View attachment 454754View attachment 454755View attachment 454756
I agree with you and he’s his own worst enemy, sadlyHe has never respected anyone here..
He was actually nice to me once and willing to let me borrow some engine mounts believe it or notI agree with you and he’s his own worst enemy, sadly
I met him at WF one year, real nice and respectful in person.He was actually nice to me once and willing to let me borrow some engine mounts believe it or not
It committed suicide apparently , it now identifies as scrap AluminumWhat in the world happened to this thing?!
We have plenty of people here that can answer stupid questions with smart -assed answers including myself , most of the time I try to take the higher road .myself .Classic Letner, Classic Sparky.
If you know their personalities its pretty entertaining, but obviously its not always pleasant
Letner has a great arrogant boomer style, but is pretty helpfull if you need odd parts or information from the way back time machine
Sparky can be counted on to answer stupid questions/comments with stupid answers, ive had good luck asking smarter questions.
If you want to escalate, both are always down for a good time.
Fun thread, nice work everybody lol
Well, the previous owner said that it just “happened” 30 min into riding and the ski sank…. I popped the head and inspected but, that’s as far as i got. Pistons and cylinders look new inside. Crank spins just fine. My guess is water ingestion and the cheap chinesium couldn’t withstand the extra pressure.What in the world happened to this thing?!
I have seen similar damage to this on a Polaris Fuji triples before and yes it was due to water injestion.Well, the previous owner said that it just “happened” 30 min into riding and the ski sank….

I cannot wrap my head around going through the trouble of tooling up for engine production and not spec'ing a super robust casting, and proper metallurgy on something that is expected to be doing backflips and consequently lots of water ingestion. If there's no proper testing prior to release, at least overbuild the damn thing.Well, the previous owner said that it just “happened” 30 min into riding and the ski sank….

I am not so sure they tooled up to produce those cases , they look like some type of Snowmobile cases where you had a jackshaft running off of the center of the crankshaft to drive a water pump , of course there is no gear or shaft on this engine but look at the spacing between the crankshaft webs , supposedly that's to get larger transfer ports in , I am still trying to figure out exactly what cases they used for this engine.I cannot wrap my head around going through the trouble of tooling up for engine production and not spec'ing a super robust casting, and proper metallurgy on something that is expected to be doing backflips and consequently lots of water ingestion.

Truth is considered hate speech in this offended generation.Interesting, Everything he said is true............
