I came home from work and found...

Why is it that our significant others don't understand that we are trying to save these "investments" from possible scrap.I found a nice X4 and 324 tiller at the local junk yard for the price of a 6 pack.It comes in real handy to get to know your local junk dealers.

Mikuni airbox

Whoever did the install did a good job of jetting then because this thing runs really good with no hesitation and it also starts right up.
I'm just curious as to what kind of airbox should I use then. From all I've read on this site it's not good to run the engine without an airbox.

Mikuni airbox

We recently got a 75 JD 800 with a Mikuni carb on it.The guy said that it was a dealer installed option.
Is this correct?and if so what does the airbox look like?

Clutch Questions

This is a clutch from a JLO Rockwell,The only way that I have been able to get them off is to unbolt the outer part of the clutch then take a bolt that fits into the hole then find a bolt that threads into the inner part of the clutch and tighten it.The clutch "should" pop off

Serious wrenching

Ive had good luck doing these suspensions alone,To get the spring adjusters in place I use a 15"cresent wrench to pull down on the adjuster. I've done 5 of my sleds so far.Seems like all the sleds that I get with these type suspensions the cross rod is stuck solid and neds to be freed up

Before I dive in......

I'm waiting to find out if you've gotten this problem fixed yet as my X8 has the same problem.All last winter my son and I would change plugs every 10 mi then they would seem to go bad.We finally gave up as we couldn't keep it running long enough
