The X4 Thread

[Matt Braley]

It's not. I call Carquest and they bring them right over(1/4" inline fuel filter). When you stretch the hose over the 5/16 though it does end up being a nice tight fit.

The intake grate is a screen. Just look at it. It won't let in the larger chunks that will bend impellers and drive shafts. Without one you could actually suck up a baseball.....maybe even a softball.

Tim, you must be a member of PWC to see them. Can post it at as a pic that you downloaded to SDF?

 

[Spimothy Leary]

I noticed that 99 SPX doesnt have a multi guage. Is that normal? Thats the only gauge worth a damn on my 96XP. The VTS gauge is helpful but not required and the MPH gauge is a joke.

Yup. 98 doesn't have it either.

i might have to wander out into the back yard, but i think my 98 spx does, but can't confirm if it was added later

Why the Holes in the raves? Seems strange. I have seen a million modified ski-doo motors, never once seen that.

 

[Matt Braley]

Otherwise you are just guessing at when they open by "feel". Now you can tune them to open together.

Spim that is a "sexy" engine. Looks like your reading full EGT these days...didn't know that.

yes, what matt said below, you can just look and see if they are open

good eye btw not everybody notices it

This winter will definitely be some serious pimping out of my 96 XP. Inside and out. Building a one off custom snowmobile to be unveiled at the biggest show in Canada. Many sponsors on board it will be an unreal ride. Seadoo's are slow compare to sleds. But hey, girls in bikinis can't jump on the back of your sled.

Whats with the different shape and size of each hole? Was it intentional or just a quick/sloppy job?

all you need is a hole to look thru, its not a beauty contest, they are just there to verify function, so,,, ya, it was a quick sloppy job.

Rod In Escondido, Keep in mind that the SP only has the smallest engine 580 and the SPX is the 720 and not the 800 that everybody wants. The two skis appear to ve clean but his price is high for what they are. I would only pay $1500. I just bought a 1996 XP 800 and 1997 WaveBlaster 2 with nice trailer for $500 just north of Santa Barbara. I got a steal but they are out there. $2,500 is just too much for those.

 

[Matt Braley]

The Noid speaks the truth. The SP is not even a X4

 

[RodInEscondido]

Thanx for the info ... I am a work in progress on these, but learning with lotsa help here!

talking about the x4 hull i just bought a 96 xp and trailer for 600

 

[boattechguy]

Well i got my first x4 hull last night!!!!!! good buy at 500w trailer but the motor is in seriously bad condition. All the bolts on the head cover and the crank are frozen solid. DAMN SALTWATER!! currently im gonna make this a winter project because i have my 93 xp currently on the bench torn down and cleaned all up for new jugs and pistons. my 93 hull is clean but this 95 xp is absolutely spotless outside and when u open the hatch of course the dreaded salt pocking all over the motor. when i pull it out i hope something is saveable in the motor especially the crank.
