    Wear marks on RAVE valves.

    Talked to the PO of my xp

    I was talking with the PO of my xp today and a few things he said had me scratching my head. I was informed that the ski went through 3 engines in a matter of months.

    Fuel Primers...any opinions?

    I have a 96 xp with a primer system. about two pumps and its running. The kit was installed on the ski when i got it but with further inspection it only primes the front carb. I dont know if thats how it should be or if this guy was lazy. But i can say it works for my ski very well.

    Newb with a random question.

    I think i still have a spare clutch reservoir from a previous build, Even if the seals aren't leaking it would be nice to have a reservoir for the lube. Ill snap some pics of the ski soon and the mods it has and the ones i'm doing. Thank you guys for the information.
