UPDATE! Well got the sled out sunday, I put the bored out 38's back on and upped the jetting 25 on the mains. Got the jetting close, WOT = 1275 degrees left cyl. and 1225 degrees right cyl. I'll go up 5 on the left. We hooked up with a guy that had a 01 MX-Z 800 with a pipe and clutch kit. He ran to...

After reading some posts in hear I'm beginning to wonder if it was a stuck thermostat. At no point did the guage move up towards the red. After the meltdown, one plug looked perfect and the pto side plug was kind of a dry grey. Does this sound like the problem? When you see grey (or silver) on the ...

Opsled, I live right by O'hare. I know exactly where Burlington is we used to run up the fox river from the chain. We got 12" today, I know you guys got pounded too. We go to the "chain of lakes" when conditions are good. I did the update porting and cleaning of the intake and exhaust...

After you get the clutch off you might get lucky with an easy out.
The clutch bolt does not bottom out when you tighten it and now that it is broken there is no pressure on the bolt and might spin out easily. Good luck...........l
Let us know how you make out.

They are in the article's section "1984 Update Porting Specs"

If you have a volt meter you can test the lighting coils very easily without disassembly. The wire plugs that are just in front of the black recoil and come out of the back of the stator coil. Unplug the black and yellow wires. Use your Ohm meter and test between the black and yellow wires coming ou...

If there are deep scratches in the bore it probably needs to be re-chromed. Try to get all the aluminum off the bore with the muriatic acid first and see how good you can clean it up with the acid. When you say" I think it actually marked the sleeve" that MIGHT only be the aluminum from th...

How do you now there was no compression? Compression tester are cheap you should buy one and test it. Did you pull the starter rope immediately after it died to see if the motor was locked up? If you take it apart don't forget to check the bore for gouges. If there are no gouges but melted aluminum ...

Can you post any pictures of the chassis?

I I know that the Formula III porting had 44mm carbs and cut pipes. Looks like you did a good job on the porting.. Thanks for the comments.......... I've never heard of "formula lll porting, Can you remember any of the changes or are they available somewhere. It would be awesome if they were i...

well, last year I ran the sled with just the update porting and bored carbs to 39.5mm when i finally got it tuned It flew! We have 3 V-Max's we ride with and my sled put over 100 feet on enerybody before we hit 90mph, we all ran pretty even before the update porting. This is just an experiment to se...

Any thoughts on this porting job for my 83 V-Max. Updated porting specs were done. Lower transfer ports also opened and general cleanup. Also going to 44's Thanks for your comments or criticisms. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/jipcee/Porting/121.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/jip...

Are you talking about # 51 in the picture.
It doesn't have the same part# as any 81 SRX Shafts, so I would say they are not the same.
I think I have an extra one, let me know and we can work something out.

38 round slides work much better!........or did you want to keep it original?
