Ok I have a 1996 Arctic Cat ZRT800. I am having some cooling issues with this sled. If anyone can add any advice I would appreciate it. I want to go north to michigan next weekend but I don't want to drive 4hrs to have it crap out on me AGAIN! Arghh!
The original problem was that the sled kept over heating and boiling over into the overflow tank. Niether exchangers were getting hot. This yeilds me to believe that I have a cirrculation issue. Although I had flow while flushing the front exhanger does have some impact from studs, which I am keeping in the back of my mind.
Things I have done to try to fix it:
Ok after all that I started it up and it was cirrculating as the exchangers were warm. The next day I went out and started it up and there was no cirrculation. Exchangers were not getting hot, it built pressure and eventually the warning light came on.
Please tell me whats going on. This thing is driving me bonkers. bang your head I dont know what else to do.
I'm sending out an SOS!

Things I have done to try to fix it:
- Flushed out all the lines and motor with garden hose, appeared to be no blockages
- Rebuilt the waterpump with a new spring seal
- New thermostat
- Purged all the air out, elevating the front of the sled
- I checked coolant mixture and it was ok
