Try valley lawn and sport in lakeville they will swap your blade for a sharpened one

Red rock store dot com...check out their HSOforum on instructions for sending them in. Takes about week to get them back and they are cheap. Otherwise holiday gas station in brainerd off mill ave has a bunch of different ones on a rack that some guy here in town sharpens and resells.

Anybody that sharpens lawn mower blades can do it, so can you with a grinder. The John Deere dealer in Brainerd did one for me years ago when they were Northland. I bet Brainerd Country Power would do it to. Somebody in Motley should be able to do it also. It's very easy on a chipper like that.

Ace hardware in staples sharpens auger blads. Not sure if in house or they send them out. I Have not done it yet, I use to get new blades every year through a buddy.

Posted

Just a little advice if you do take them to ace or anybody for that matter...make sure you put a little thread lock on your blade screws & nuts afterwords & tighten them down good. I took mine to ace a few years back to get sharpened & just figured they tightened them back down...drilled 2 holes & one blade darn near took my shin off cut through my pants & the other went flying down the hole. I had to buy new blades.

Easier to do an exchange of blades. trading your dull blades for sharpened blades. Cheaper

He has a chipper blade.

Bought some ammo at Ace in Brainerd. Sign at check out said they sharpen blades. Used to be a gas station on right hand side as one nears the old paper mill leaving town that had sharpened blades.

Posted

I get my chipper blades sharpened for a couple bucks each from a guy that sharpens hockey skates. Just another avenue if you're still looking.

Posted

We do blade exchange here at the store. Bring us your dull ones and I'll sell you re-sharpened blades. Pretty easy.

Run it across a bench grinder. Don't take to much or you can mess up the pitch of the blade but I have been doing it for years and it works great.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?
