Hi all, new to forum yesterday and have reviewed hundreds and hundreds of posts looking for my answers. Here is what I bought:
1997 SPX that I believe to be an old racing machine (I can see the faded racing decals and performance parts decals on the sides and hood).
It has the following parts upgraded from what I can tell: Skat-Trak impeller, jet dynamics grate, aftermarket air cleaner that has a big 'W' on in and the cover in purple and yellow aluminum. Exhaust looks stock as does the water box.
It runs great however I took it to my dealer for a once over and they replace the ignition switch and battery. I put in a new solenoid.
Issues:
1) I need to change out the gray tempo lines. I understand do one line at a time and make sure clamps are tight. Questions: there seems to be in line connections that don't go anywhere. It is almost like a splice. They are clamped and all, but just curious when I change them out, can I just go straight hose until a 'T' connection or to where the line ends?
2) i am replacing the starter as it sticks when bumped and won't start. How the hell does a guy get to the 3 or 4 bolts to take it off? I took the air cleaner off but didn't help much.
Bonus:
Given what I have, what I am asking for help with, what would be my next best upgrades or fixes for this machine. I will update with photos if needed. Just looking for some directions. Wonderful forum by the way! Thanks in advance.
