It doesn't sound promising but I'm not far from that shop so I can quickly check it out no charge and confirm the engine condition if you like.

If you're up for it, I'll have a quick answer for you within 30 minutes or so.

Hey that sounds Great, do I need to be there? Lake Region

I will pay for your opinion (case of beer).

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

If you're going to pick it up you won't be going out of your way by much if you swing by my place and I can give you a quick diagnosis. Otherwise if you want, I can go pick it up but you have to let them know, of course.

Otherwise I suppose I could go over to their shop and have a look, not sure how that'd work out?

I'm pretty flexible, give it some thought and let me know your preference.

You won't owe me anything, this is like breathing air for me.

Talked with Sportster, there are some good people on here, glad I found this forum.

Would be interesting to see what the real culprit is!

Lots of pictures Sportster, we want to know if he was told the truth or not, LOL.

 

[Tbishop]

Told them Jim will pick up, asked if anything I owe for looking at it, she did not think so but said she would call me back if so and I can give them a credit card

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

I'm betting he was told the truth, we'll see! The low ball offer wasn't very sincere IMO, but the lot is pretty full with used toys.

You just want to see a beautifully kept monster powered ski. Okay!

I'll swing by tomorrow as long as it's not raining and post my finding.

Yes, I love to see minty fresh stock skis. I also like to know people are being treated honestly too and the dealer could be completely honest. I would like to know how it got full of water sitting in a garage though.

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

If you think maybe it wasn't put up wet, I agree sitting in a warm dry garage it's not gonna happen. We're gonna find out.

In the next couple days before heading over you will need small ball hitch, 1500 lbs and under... Thanks in advance

Sounds like 1-7/8" instead of a standard 2"

 

[Tbishop]

Think 1 7/8 ball, smallest standard one. ? 1200 lbs and under if memory is right?

 

[mikidymac]

Sorry, yes you are correct. Not enough coffee yet

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

No prob, my light tow vehicle has an earlier version of this device installed. I'm not sure why they changed the design to this new one,, perhaps a money saver or strength? Oh, probably a different brand, both are rated 8,000lb Should be enuff!

I plan on swinging by LC in the next hour or two.

 

[bdesim2]

Following this thread. Curious to see the outcome. What kind of ball is that and can you still get the old design like this? That looks really cool and easy for people with all sorts of trailers (me)

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

I believe my quick ball is the Curt version, it has a release button on top.

Okay so yes there's fresh water in this 951 motor but it's no longer stuck. A little tight but cranks fine with no spark plugs. Poured a ton of TCW oil in cylinders and down carbureand cranked it a bit. Charging the battery now, sounded a little weak.

I can get it running, not sure how long it will last of course and if it seizes how much damage might occur. Owner permission to continue?

 

[mikidymac]

That's a shame but at least the dealer was telling the truth so that's one positive.

I wonder if someone winterized it incorrectly? Looks like quite a bit of water.

Minty pictures of sought after black bottom. Not uploading but soon I'll have a better connection.
