I wanted to say thanks to all the info on the 90’s 300’s in here. These forums were a tremendous help. Brought one back from neglect. First time doing anything like this. Took my time. Frustration. Patience. Frustration. Slow. Pretty much in that order. I had Polaris’ growing up but never gave them this attention. Haven’t had a wheeler in 15 years.
What was done to the ole girl-
Carb rebuild
Piston rings
Valves-new and lapped
Rockers spaced
All gaskets and seals for top end
Front brakes-me no like drum brakes
Ball joints
Front bearings
New CV’s
Wire wheeled A arms and painted
Wire wheeled bumper and racks and painted
Tire rods
Front diff was seemingly in good shape
CDI and coil
New ignition
Had to get the red R button on the reverse lever
New vent lines all around
Rear brake delete
Double bearings in the rear backing brake
Rear backing brake shaved down
Wire wheeled the axle
New nuts all around on the axle
New seals in the rear diff-the bearings were seemingly ok-scared of the needle bearing in the diff
Grease zerk in the axle holder
Just synced up the throttle play, throttle screw and idle screw today.
Lots of cleaning-lots of wire wheeling bolts
And of course basic maintenance-spark plug, lubes, air filter and anti-seize and loctite where needed.
She purrrrrrs. I don’t have the tally on the total money yet. I’m pretty stoked tho. First ride about an hour ago.
Think I’m addicted to the resilience of the 300’s. Think I’m addicted to the 300’s period.
