i was wondering if anyone knew the stock horse power for a 1997 mxz 670 thanks.

it is about 120 hp.

I also think it's in the 116-120 hp range.But i've been known to be wrong more than once http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I have a 98 670 and I was told 117hp so its all around there somewhere.

is it the same for a 95 mach 1 670?

95 and 96 Mach 1's are 125 hp. Twin pipes, 44mm carbs, 501 valve, short boots. Gut the airbox, up 3 mains and raise needle one notch and your set.

I have seen a few 97 670's dynoed all around 115-117hp.

I've always seen them run in the 115-117 area. *I dont think they are near the 95 Mach 1 area. *They had huge carbs on them. *I think 44mm.

I *doo believe that a mxz 670 is faster then a twin piped mach,
even though the mach has more power.

what will this do for me?
and will it leave me in fear of a melt-down http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif

anytime you make changes to carburation and exhaust you have to watch for burndown..but once you get it tuned in properly, you shouldn&#39;t have to worry about it again

alscool, the stuff I listed, you already have. Those are the differences between the Mach and the std. 670. Gutting the box really wakes them up. If you are not familiar with jetting I would leave it stock.

Hey "MR670"
670 MX-Z beating a 95 or 96 MACH 1, NOT A CHANCE!!!!!!!
I have a 96 MACH 1(stock except for gutted airbox and 1" paddle track) and I consistantly beat up on my freinds 97 MX-Z 670 and another 98. This is from a dead stop or on the lake
( even with the bigger lug track with closed windows on the track & 192 1-1/4" studs)

allright, thats what i like to hear http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
so gutting the air box will necessitate the main jet changes, more air = more fuel needed?

I never changed any jets at all, but I might try it.
Though the sleds usually come over jetted from the factory so maybe gutting the air box lets a little more air for the factory over jetting?http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
I constantly abuse the #### out of mine ( hold the throttle wide open for 2-3 min on the big lakes)
Mine has over 10,000 km&#39;s on it and never been apart!!! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

MOOVS, so whats the top end speed of your sled?? *No speedos, *radar or gps, *be honest now. When *my 670 mxz was stock it radared at 110.3

I honestly don&#39;t know? The speedo readings are always different due to snow conditions. Personally I don&#39;t think it will go 110mph, maybe between 105-110.
Last year I had a 97 MACH 1(700 triple-triple), It would only do 111 on radar. Comparing to my buddies sled my 96 is just as fast ( if not faster) to 75mph as my 97 was but the triple was faster on the top end I believe. My 97 had an all open window 3/4 lug track with 144 in it( better top end track). http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I also own a 95 mach 1. Bought it new. Ran it with k&n filters with no jet changes and the plugs were just fine. (wisconsin)
Yes, they are jetted rich stock because these were in such a high state of tune from the factory. If you jet too lean they will not last.
I lunched a pto crank bearing/piston from ####### around trying to get ufo&#39;s to run right. Rebuilt it and now it is completely stock. I&#39;ll probaqbly put the k&n&#39;s back on once I am comfortable that the motor is broken in after the rebuild.
I have not ridden a stock sled that pulls as hard as my 95 mach 1 up to about 80mph. Once I had the ufo&#39;s pretty close to dialed in and oh boy, did it pull hard ! (probably too hard as the bearing let go eventually!) I&#39;ll never sell this sled. Very rare. The black f body ski-doos may not handle as nimbly as recent chassis, but they are the most sinister looking sleds that ski-doo has ever come out with imo. Great lake racers.

what is &#39;rare&#39; about this sled, will it be featured on vintagesled.com in 20 years?

i did 117 mph with my mxz 670 on radar its a good motor to make speed i find.

mxz_583~ what&#39;s your setup? 117 for a 670 is pretty good! is it stock *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

yes its stock its lowered,I am not ot sure what the set up is my dad had set it up for me. I know the gears are 26/40.
