I`m thinking about buying 96 xlt and it`s missing all three carburetors. could someone tell me which carbs came syock on these sleds? I beleive the motor is a 597. also, even if 34`s were not what came on the sled, would they still work, and
what kind of jetting would have to be done to the 34`s?


even though this is my first post, I`ve learned a lot from this site.
you guys (& gals) are a great bunch of people :)
oh, and ah, keep doin that snow dance!

should be 38's

some models had 38 and some had the 34.i no the xcr600 had 38.supposedly gave 2 more hosepower than 34.they have them on ebay quite often.i bought a spare set of 38s with all the cables, like a 100.00 bucks.

The SP had 38s the regular XLT had 34s. I had a 96 XLT SP back in 96 it was a nice sled. The SP had extra 12, bigger carbs higher compression and different porting then the regular XLT.

XLT SP had VM38SS Slide and Indy XLT had VM34SS Slide

alright, thanks for the replies.

so the 34`s won`t work eh?

I know a guy who changed his 38s out for 34s. He did it because he felt it was over carbed. Anyhow he was happy. I don't know what he did for jetting.

slp calls it a high port motor or a low port motor.dont know what the diff. is.low port has 34 and high port has 38s.hth
