hahaha classic. I have a 97 SPX that is mint and I hate the color scheme on it but I cant destroy a mint ski like that. Will most likely end up being sold to fund a project I can beat up on

Oh he used to give a "if you don't get your engine by this guaranteed date, you would get it for free" promotion. Guessing that had to be given up. Lol.

He called me for 3 weeks straight when I called him one winter asking about a rebuild. Each call the price got cheaper and cheaper. I'm not going to get started on my thoughts about tom and ses (hack cough cough) haha jk

Sweet build and nice handy work
Thanks! It's finally coming along nicely.
Ok I just got my fuel pump today and it has a 5/16 inlet and 1/4 outlets. Do I need to run 5/16 or can I get by with narrowing to 1/4 since I'm only running Novi 44s?
I only ordered the transparent blue fuel line from www.fuel-line.com in 1/4, so would need to order the 5/16. Not a big issue but I'm more concerned about the fuel baffle since it's 1/4 only.
If i need a 5/16 baffle, can I just cut down an XPL baffle since I have a few extras?

Just stretch the blue hose over the larger fitting......done.
Sweet, thanks guys!
Is there any requirement on fuel pump positioning to in relation to the carbs? Same height, high low, max distance etc?
I did also order a jet kit from OSD. Decent deal, you buy their $8 organizer and pick 10-18 jets and they give you 40% off of them.

Keep the impulse line as short as you can and don't use that soft, thin walled hose for impulse. Mount the pump independent from the engine cause the vibration can mess with it (so the racers say I have not found that to be the case but I usually stay under 7300rpm and some racers push 8K). Other then that it's up to you. It will do it's thing mounted in any direction.
Yes, the blacktip elite mats are not 2 piece in the footwell like the regular ones. They did cut the spot for the logo but left the mat material there in case you don't want a logo. Really like them but don't think I'd pay full price. Definitely worth it for blackfriday prices.
Yes, genuine mint 95 XP800 hood.

Does hot products still make that gas cap?..if so whats the part#
No, they don't make them anymore. I found 2 new ones last year.
I know that watercraft werks still has platinum colored ones in stock but no more black or silver.

Dang that sucks..Wanna sell that other black one? lol
Haha you are 1 day too late. I just traded it to someone building an 1100 x4 for a new HP silver one. Not sure which color I'll go with since my billet fuel selector is silver.
