[srx98jj]

i think maybe my pto side seal is bad 2 repairs 2 melt downs on wot runs ...plugs are perfect on 400 miles of riding on part time wot but run onetime for approx .5 mile wot melt down pto cyl ????

Is your jetting staggered? The pto cylinder usually runs hotter so they spec a fatter jet for it. If your jetted the same on all 3 cylinders, that might be your problem. Or maybe plugged jet. I would check this first.

this sled ran for 5 years now with no problem till last season meltdown repaired this winter and burt the same cyl ...not a jetting prob 100 % sure of this

 

[srx98jj]

carbs have been cleaned several times all new top end kit new pistons the works ...but nothing to the bottom sled has 12000 miles on it

did you replace the seal? or just hope for the best and rebuild? if any doubt replace the seals on a 12 year old sled.

You think your carbs are off? You think ya got problems now, wait til ya switch to the green brand.

It's a little late now if it's apart but you could spray quick start near the seals as it's running and see if it revs faster.
