There have been many unexplained mid range burndowns on that particular engine- it's become such a problem that Polaris has come up with a "Nicasil cylinder update kit" for it. Two new plated cylinders, not iron sleeves like the original. Includes pistons and some different heat shields or shrouds.
I'll bet the one you are looking at has low compression on one side.
I suggest you avoid that sled.
