Hello All,
I have a problem with my machine. Also, it is on a small Bahamian island with only one car mechanic (there are no other side by sides on the island and for sure no Can Am's except this one.)
2014 Commander with 750 miles on it gave a slight clunking sound from what sounded like the engine and lost power. When I stopped the engine stalled but started up after a couple of cranks and sounded fine. At the time I was doing about 50 on hard pack. Temps ok by the gauge. Bluish white smoke came out the exhaust. Got it back to garage very slowly. Starts fine the next day and ran fine. Took it out and when it hit about 5500 RPM the momentary clunk again. No smoke out tail but the engine was not to temp yet. I have examined the engine and see no external issues such as smoking, oil or coolant leaks etc. Oil level and coolant levels are fine also. All suggestions are appreciated....and keep in mind my tools here are very basic. Thank you. Gary
