Those fan sleds are great. I have a touring SLE. Watch those air box boots as to not lean out the mixture. I also believe the manual says those jets are to actually be 2 different sizes. Love those old Skidoos.
I love the 503s, fantastic engines. For sure, the plan is to eventually swap out those boots. I was reading up on the jetting yesterday, I thought they only staggered the jetting on the rotary valve engines due to the rotary valve timing, but I guess it's done on alot of engines. Typically the mag side is jetted leaner because that cylinder runs hotter due to the proximity to the exhaust pipe. I learn something every day lol.
Exactly, that or "just needs a carb cleaning!" I just started asking people to tell me what's wrong with it lol it's like I'm still gonna buy it bud, just tell me what's wrong with it and save me some time haha.
Glad to see you get some fun out ur time fixun!!!you seem like a guy who can lead me in proper direction,ive just got a sweet deal this summer on my first used sled its a 1990 red n black 400 indy polaris needed a new fuel pump and inline strainer and seat cover all for total of 350.00 no title but not stolen.i checked!!!anyhow its got no reverse or electric start but block clearly has provision for starter i saw on ebay a few clutches n reverse from an indy 500 can you give any crossovers and yrs that would fall into realm of working.dont wanna waste money?snooky pa.p.s.i got one rip on sled and it rips nicely.💥👍😜🤪🤟💥
I'll have to give that a try. I really dont mind doing it the old fashioned way with a can of carb and choke, but the ultrasonic works so well on the carb bodies I'm gonna keep using it for sure.
It's your Canadian comrade. Nice video..Thumbs up as usual. I'm 64, thank God you piped in some METAL, not that annoying millennial, monotonic, rap crap, otherwise I would have split! LOL! Sure is nice, I also don't have to hear every five words, "Uh-Uh-um" drives me nuts. Something to do with the IQ. Well as far as the copper/brass changing color in your cleaner, obviously a chemical reaction, (oxidation). I was formerly in the RF engineering world, (communications) and the connectors are made of brass, after some time outdoors, they will of course darken (oxidize). I found that cleaning (soaking) with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda solution will bring back the luster. By the way, we received our snow, Toronto news made a big deal about it, (Feb.22/23-2023) but a measly 5" fell, big DEAL! Being a former Montreal-er, that's dick all! None the less got one of my '95 GT 670 up and running, yesterday, did a rip around toady, but now needs work on the electrics. Man those machines and engines have some serious BALLS! LOL! Mind you, my last ride was back in '77, (75 TNT FA).... Locally someone has a pair of '96 Mach 1 and Mack Z, MINT!!!! in storage for over ten years, less that 500km!!!! I'm drooling! Maybe I can sell one of my kidneys! LOL!!! Cheers, keep it up, I find you interesting. Oh by the way, did you ever torque the nut on the jackshaft ??? One last comment, got to like the epoxy, but for myself would have preferred to TIG weld the carb.
Thank you sir! Lol glad you enjoyed the music, cant make everyone happy but I felt it was time for a change. I'll listen to just about anything with a beat, but metal is by far my favorite. Thanks for the explanation on the brass. Interesting, I work with RF myself! I assume you mean Radio frequency since you mentioned comms. We got about 15" here over the last two days, plan to ride all weekend long. Those 670s are no joke! Still have to get around to torquing the castle nut, havent touched the green summit in a week or two but it's on my list of things to do before summerizing. Hoping the shop manual has it spec'd.
Would've much rather tig'd it myself, I agree but unfortunately a tig welder is one thing I dont have. We'll see how long the epoxy holds up. Thanks again, I appreciate the comments!
Favorite snowmobile channel! You are the greatest.
Thanks dude!

"It ran good when I parked it" the classic vehicle non truth🤣🤣
Great video🤘🤘🤘

Those s chassis 500 fans are wheelie machines, love the videos bud
Thanks dude, much appreciated!

I use Jewlery cleaner to clean my brass carb parts , most places like Wal-Mart any pharmacy should carry it works great

Sounds good!!
Seems to run beautifully even with the funky carb!
Nice 👍. I had the same sled, but it was liquid cooled.
Those 500 liquids are solid platforms as well. I also had a 1999 summit 500 and it was a blast in the powder.
Someone worked on that carb messed it up and never tried the other one if I was to guess
Could very well be, I'm just confused as to why they tried so hard to force that oversized pin through the posts
Uncoupled rear skid....wheelie all day long.
Gotta love the original SC-10

@@NorthwoodsNoise As long as the glue works....and the carb functions that's all that matters. Fact is, your not restoring a F16! LOL!
@@NorthwoodsNoise 33 to 66 lbf-ft. RF eh? I wonder, do you possibly have a Ham license as well? or maybe RF engineering, broadcast, tower, cell, etc?
I have essentially the same machine (97 formula 500 deluxe liquid w/ electric start and reverse)
Edit: spelling
They're still great, reliable machines! Hard to beat the longevity of the rotary valve engines.
Find a used carb and save yourself a ton of grief.
Not a bad idea, just need to find one that's not outrageously priced.
@@NorthwoodsNoise Are there no sled wreckers within a reasonable distance.
@@martyfield694 plenty of guys doing it out of their garages, but like I said prices are usually insane and they're not willing to budge.
Don't be dumb, leave it alone and don't start taking parts off it!
No promises, I have a hard time leaving things alone lol.
