1995 XP800 Restoration(Finally)

Seat stays in the house. I was cleaning it in the garage and the wife had to get her car out. Had to sit it somewhere. All of my eBay purchases should start arriving tomorrow. It will be like Christmas everyday when I get off work next week. Lol

Luckily my wife's actually really cool about shi*. She really doesn't share my passion for the older skis but pretty much lets me do my thing. She prefers I take the parts up to the man cave but I usually don't make it past the kitchen lol

Look at how tasty the insides are after the wire brush treatment

 

[AdamXP800]

Damn! You could eat off them

Yep, and the set is only $5! Use that fancy 20V lithium cordless you got sitting on the counter and you're good to go.

Oh you're supposed to use a drill with that set? I bought it a few years ago doing the same thing, and I used a dremel. No wonder I had problems with them losing their bristles, spinning way faster than a drill. Lol.

Yes, they are holding the box together that you sent me, lol! At least this time, I learned my lesson about letting carbs sit and they are wrapped up air tight in a bag, then a towel then in the box. I'm currently tearing down that other 717 a few bolts a week lol (like Dagre, tons going on with a new baby) and I'll be using that head you also sent on that 717 as I've literally made it a mess after these head bolts snapped. But YES, they'll be put to good use!

I guess changing the jet pump oil in the house was not a good idea
