even if the charging circut did not work ,, the engine should run for 3 or 4 hours off the battery,, you have a dead short someplace,,

well it turns out that the shop A.E.ALGONQUIN (bombardier dealer) in sudbury. when they rebuilt the engin did not check or did not care about the ring gap or the sleave to make sure it was sized up properly, today they happen to mention that its happenned before were the piston was to tight in the jug and it would not run, so they recommended that i let it idle for a few hours with the water hose connected , well what do u know blew the piston, opennned it up right tight no play at all the other one was somewhat ok, THEY SUCK just thought id let yous know y my engin keeped dying :the sleave or piston when heated expands a bit and jams the piston in the sleave , then i kill the battery try to restart it. lol not realy :mad:

any mechanic that told you to run a 800 engine on a hose for a COUPLE OF HOURS is a total MORON.
