Hi All, I just got a 93 XP and it hasn't been run in a number of years.
First question is how do I identify what engine size it has (clue, twin carbs).
Some mention of a plate that rotates is warped due to an overheat (which from reading up I'm pretty confident is the rotary valve). This may or may not have been a showstopper but then it was unused for a loooong time.
I guess a teardown might be in order to see what's all good or not overall. I have downloaded the documentation on pulling it out via this site however any teardown tips are greatly welcome. If I purchase a manual, which manual is the most desired to own?
And for the pump, what should I check or look for (outside of obvious physical damages)?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
