    300/440/550 Help me choose which carb for my JS550

    I had posted this in the 550 section without any replies. We were hoping to order our SBN right away and were hoping to have a better understanding of what we need before we order it. We're looking at adding a Mikuni SBN to our 89 JS550 which currently has the BN. We just can't get that BN to...

    300/440/550 Exhaust Gasket in a pinch

    We just picked up the ski from the engine rebuilder yesterday and were heading north in a few hours. As we were re-assembling this morning we find that were missing the exhaust gasket for the "U" shaped exhaust pipe which runs from the manifold to the upper pipe. I contacted the builder and he...

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro 95 750SX Carb issues
