ok so i got my sled all back together after do a motor out rebuild....i only did the top end because i had no signs of any problems in the bottom end...well i filled all the fluids and started it for the first time...she ran good, i look under it. ITS LEAKING COOLANT LIKE CRAZY, appears to be coming from the bellypan. can someone give me an idea of where to start, i looked and i did hook all the lines back up. i also read about water pump seals...i cant see anything coming from the water pump...my track is not picked so i know a stud didn't go through it...can anybody help me out with some ideas. i really dont wanna take the motor out again but ill do whatever it takes to fix it
:o| :whine:
 
are the lines fastened with clamps properly at the pumper cover is a good place to start..or maybe you have a cut coolant line somewhere.Also check connection at coolant bottle...
 
It have heated carbs right I check the bottom line out before ripping it all back out.
 
Update: I found the leak it was just a small hole in a line it was right near a nipple/fitting...I must have broke it will trying to push it on. Fired it up, she ran good with no leaks !!!!

now there's a new problem the brake is frozen on, so I looks like ill have to take that apart and adjust that and get that working again

its a slow but sure process but im slowly getting this sled put back together and running correctly...no thanks to the previous owner
 
Its not frozen on been there done that bolts that go in to the top brace behind chain case put one in is to long and up against rotor.
