Polaris 350 4x4 quad - is it worth it? ((((PICS))))
I recently got done working on our neighbor's 1991 Polaris 4 wheeler. Its a 350 liquid cooled 2 stroke, 4x4, has reverse, hi, low, etc. Well anyway, he said when I got done working on it, I could play around on it for a little while. I had too much fun on it, and now I want one.
One of my friends has this exact same machine, they forgot to add oil, only had water in the radiator, and ended up blowing the motor. They took it in to get rebuilt, and after 2 years the guy never did the work, and on top of that lost nearly half the motor. They want 150$ for it, it basicly needs the bottom end of the motor. Has new rear shock, chain/sprockets, and a few small things. The other guy said he had a lower end for the machine I could have free. So I could basicly have a whole 4x4 quad for 150$, engine rebuild, and some time.
I like the fact that its a 2 stroke (I like them better over 4 strokes), but its still fit out to be a utility quad. Would it be worth buying and peiceing a few engines together to make a decent machine? It wont replace my trike, but seeing as I only have one runner right now, it would be nice to have a backup.
One other thing, nobody can decide on what it is. It is a 1991 liquid cooled 350, plastics are grey, seat and tank shrouds are red, and it has racks. Does anybody know exactly what this thing is? Thanks in advance for the help guys!!
