I got a free, what I believe is a SPX ski that according to the vin is a 94, but on here I saw a few that mentioned if it has the sponsons it’s a 95.
Anyway it’s fugly as hell, I call it the circus ski. The motor is solid, compression is 155 per cylinder, but the carbs are in desperate need of a rebuild.
Looking at the carbs, I don’t see how I’m supposed to get a wrench in on the nuts holding the carbs on. How am I supposed to get to the nuts to get the carbs off? I was thinking maybe a crowsfoot wrench might work?
I didn’t see in the service manual on how to do it, just tells me about rebuilding the carbs.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Background on this ski. I got it from a production company here in Hollywood where they used it as a prop in some movie. They sprayed painted it, but luckily they didn’t mess with anything else. I have my hands full on this one if I decide to restore it and sand it all down and re-gelcoat it a new 2 tone color.
Here’s a picture of it in all of its yellow, teal, orange, purple, reddish, ugliness.
