Welcome :)

My signature links should prove useful for much Polaris info.

There is a list of part sources via my signature links. Some Update Kits have become hard to find, but we can provide...

Bypass the LR-505 Start/Stop solenoid if you can.

Another possibility is to use a metal tool to jump across the two heavy terminals on the start solenoid. Do NOT touch the tool to any other metal,...

MariKate makes a product called Liquid Rollers, which is a bunk spray lubricant. It is essentially a Silicone spray lubricant that coats the carpet fibers and then dries to a slippery effect.

In a...

You don't know, or is it a secret?

With what?

If gasoline, did you leave the fuel selector valve in the ON position while it was sitting?

You can ohm test the stator to verify which version you have. The Gen III stator coils have very different ohms than the older stators.

Details on stator testing can be found via my signature...

A Ficht engine should never just quit running, especially once it has had a minute to warm up.

Something is not right.

Check what voltage the battery manufacturer recommends for the 'float' voltage.

The generic float voltage for a regular lead-acid battery is 13.4 volts, with some temperature compensation...

Those original solenoids are known to corrode internally and can fail unexpectedly, sometimes locking into a continuous crank mode when you start the engine. Which would be bad, of course.

Once...

Nice to hear a positive story =D>

What is your fuel burn rate when pegged at WOT for long periods?

In a parallel universe, that engine should be running just fine :)

Starter motor and Bendix. :-k
You said there was water in the flywheel housing. Did you replace the Bendix gear and/or the...

You could have fun towing your domestic engined watercraft with a Fuji engined car :)

See my signature links, in the MFD section.

The MFD power draw while sleeping, even with clock visible and other LCD indicators, is minimal. Battery run down would take about a year, if the...

Possible stator problem, or flywheel magnet problem. I have not needed to actually test AC voltages from the Ficht stator very often so I cannot say how much range is 'normal'.

In your case it...

Goof-Off might work :-k

Check it first on an inconspicuous place to make sure it doesn't dissolve the actual surface finish.

Lots of trailer info in the Trailer forum section ;)

The Triton Elite double trailer has a frame height of about 18 inches, depending on which size tires are mounted. You want the trailer frame to...

Is your charger a modern, well made charger? If yes, it should properly manage the charge rate and should not be overcharging the battery, regardless of how long it is connected.

A modern battery...

For clarity;

Cranking means the starter motor is rotating the engine

Firing means the spark is causing combustion in the engine.

Starting means the engine RPM increases due to the combustion...

From battery negative post, I assume.

That voltage drop seems a bit much. Remove the grounding bolt from the engine. Clean the hole threads, the bolt threads, the engine case where it clamps down,...

This is the Internet - not as easy as it might seem!

Finding good, accurate, reliable information and guidance online is harder than it looks. It is really easy to find bad, incomplete, out of...

Besides, where are you going to find a floating hammer to take with you while riding ;)

Welcome :)

Check battery voltage at the battery using a multi-meter. With meter connected, monitor voltage sag when the engine is actually cranking, with spark plugs installed. If battery voltage...

That makes more sense. Just to clarify, the loopback connector being plugged in and reading 7-10 volts, and the connector being unplugged and reading 14-16 volts (both readings taken at the...

Inspect, then decide.

I'll try that in the morning, thanks! However, if unplugging the loopback connector isolates the injectors from the +45V source, then why is my voltage at the injectors jumping up when the loopback...
