    Location of Starter Bendix 1998 GSX Limited

    Agree with Lou, I would check elec first. I just went through this with my 98 GTX. IMO, the bendix is going to either work or not, so if its bad I wouldn't see it causing a weak starting sympton. Its a pretty simple design, it's either springing out and engaging the flywheel or not. If it's...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    Just to follow up on what was wrong, it may help another newbie who has the same problem. Turns out there was a small piece of metal in the mag cover that found its way between the stator and flywheel and was shorting it out. It still passed all the continuity tests, btw. Cleaned it out, put...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    Hey guys, one more request for some advice. I checked the 3 yellow wires from the mag connector and there is continuity between all three but open when grounded (I checked them at the MPEM connector). Then I put a voltmeter on the yel/blk and blk/yel and cranked the engine, got 12 volts. I...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    Narrowed it down with everyone's help. Disconnected the connector on the front of the mag cover and turned the engine over, Everything works and the fuse doesn't blow. Reconnected and it blows immediately. Looks like something's shorting out inside the mag cover. Although.....I would almost...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    OK, after reading some more on the charging circuit, I think I know where I screwed up to cause the fuse to keep blowing. Just need some validation from some more knowledgeable non-idiots if someone can weigh in before I spring for an MPEM. Right before I took the ski out last weekend, I put a...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    Thanks for the reply. I did splice a new thru connector on the rear elect box last year that was shorted due to corrosion. Looks like that's part of the charging circuit. One of the vacuum bailer tubes came out last year and flooded the skil before I caught it. I've been chasing electrical...

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    It's blowing after the lanyard is on. It will start and run for a few seconds then the fuse blows. On the 951 the rectifer is internal to the MPEM.

    98 GTX Limited blowing 15A Batt fuse in MPEM

    My 98 GTX Limited started blowing the 15A Batt fuse in the MPEM today. Any suggestions for the most likely place to check to see what is shorting? Appreciate any help. Keith

    Starter Clutch Gear Replacement - 98 GTX 951

    Hey guys, The ring gear on the clutch assy that engages the starter has teeth missing on my 98 GTX. I've got the thing pretty much torn down to the mag cover (carbs, exhaust, and starter removed). I can get to the mag cover pretty easy but before I take it off.......do you have to remove the...

    Nick, I broke the fuel nipple on the t fitting on the fwd carb while changing the lines...

    Nick, I broke the fuel nipple on the t fitting on the fwd carb while changing the lines yesterday. It's a 1998 GTX Limited. I was wondering if you have the fuel block with the fitting that I can just swap out and how much would you want for it? Or, do you do exchanges for entire carb...

    1998 GTX Limited Fuel Inlet Connector Broke Off #$%&!!

    First post guys, I could use some advice please. I was changing the grey hoses out and the fuel inlet hose connector on the fwd carb broke off!! This is the "T" connector on top of the fuel pump body. So, is the T fitting threaded in or is it even replaceable? Or, can the whole fuel...
