I got some used sleds this year and have had some bad luck. The 00 Mountain Lite 500 had the ski hit a post hard at speed and the trailing arm and tunnel are now bent bad. My new to me 97 SX700 ran great for one 15 mile ride. Next ride, a leaking needle had filled the motor with gas. It fired up after a few backfires but never ran right again. Took to the dealer, the crank is out of phase.

Just like that, I'm down two sleds.

The 500 motor in the 700 chassis would be a great sled for the kids. It looks like a fairly straight bolt-in. Am I missing something? Would the clutching be way off?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.
