Seeking advice from knowledgeable engine guys.
I have 1.1 hours on my arctic cat engine, it quit on me today.
EGT's were 900*F water temp was 150*F
Rpm about 7000, it just quit. so I landed of course.
I Took the carbs off and there are seizure marks on the mag piston!!!! The engine is brand new, I broke it in, I checked the case for air leaks etc before I mounted it, new carb flange boots etc, oil injection, running Arctic Cat oil. Using fresh 91 octane fuel.
What would cause it to do this, the first engine did this at 6 hours, only much worse.
I'm about ready to pull my remaining hair out.
Thanks for any advice.
If I am lucky I might have something flying by Bensen Days 2010!
