First srx I’ve ever had trouble with. Riding last weekend sled was running perfect. Out of no where immediate loss of power like piston and rings were sticking. I shut it down immediately. I tried slowly pulling it over to see how it felt. It pulled over, but felt like rings were sticking. Then it literally locked up. I pulled heads off to look. It now pulls over, but you can feel it’s sticking somewhere. The pistons don’t show obvious damage to me, and I don’t see any cylinder scouring. I’m a total rookie, as I’ve never even pulled the heads on any of my srx’s. I notice that the clutch side piston does not come all the way to the top, and if I physically push on it when it’s at the TDC, it moves about a mm before the other two pistons or crankshaft move. If I push on the center and mag side pistons, They seam to have no play when I push them down. Is this problem going to be more than putting in piston and rings on all 3?
thanks.
thanks.

sounds like a wrist pin or crank bearing to me.
I would guess, yes. Lol
sounds like you have lost the lower connecting rod bearing. pull off that cylinder and youll know in 1 second, grab the rod and if it moves up and down on crank, its gonna need a total rebuild.
