ski doo stalls in reverse

[radman/mxz]

could be a compression problem but I would try hitting the throttle right before pushing the button, then try increasing the idle speed adjustment.

what is your idle rpm's?

compression down to 90 pds...not good should be 135 to 150...going to need ring job thanks guys...

It's not a difficult replacement to do yourself, I put the dual ring pistons in my 03 REV and they worked out perfect.

the shop where its at called and said comp. is good,,,bad gauge....did find that the heat shield hook up was wrong and was draining the battery,changing that and battery.

ill try all of the above to see if we can pinpoint the problem,,,renegade it just stalls and quits before it goes into rev. so the beep doesnt even sound...pull the chord and it starts right up..

Radman,

This happened to me this weekend on my 500 SS Trail. I had just changed the plugs and was putting it in the garage before I headed home. when i tried to backup, it stalled. First time it ever happened. Same as you, no beeps, just stalls then starts right up. I did notice over the weekend that my sled was idleing low (about 1000), but after warming or a couple of taps on the throttle, it was above 1500. Then popped into reverse no problem. Make sure the idle isn't too low.

Both of my 800's do it. Give it just alittle gas before hitting reverse button. Both of my polaris 340's do the samething.
