96 MXZ 583... its very hard to pullstart (as in hard to pull the starter rope.. only with two hands... even harder than a 2002 800). I heard that the starter assembly can be replaced with one that contains a larger pulley making it as easy to pull as a newer 600. I also was quoted a price at a local dealer (Canadian) at $300. This seems quite expensive upgrade to me... is there anything I can do myself to rebuild it to make it easier, or anyone have a used one that would fit, or...? Reason I ask is that I want to make this sled the wife's next year... I am liking that REV!
Try salvage www.snowmobileparts.com. I phoned these guys and the had some hard to find parts for the boys 82 polaris and had good prices too. For a new pull stat it sounds about right because I think you would need the housing and the hub for the crank.
It's definately worth the money. I upgraded my 95 670. the difference is night and day. One hand sitting on the sled, from two hands and a foot for bracing. You need recoil assembly, adapter ring and rubber ring. All said and done closer to $500.00 Can. You can use your old hub.
Yeah my 98 670 doent pull too easy either. I guess its a safety device since my 18 year old sister cant even come close to pulling it over lol. Shes no wimp either, 6th in the state in the 200m dash.

I had a 583 and it wasn't hard to pull over, nowhere near the 670, until I put on a tight belt and then it tightened up the clutches.Before you spring for a new starter assembly take off the drive belt and see if it is easier to pull over.
This hard to pull "feature" is normal for this model/year... supposedly ski-doo changed it after only 2 years. I have pulled on a 670 and its ALOT easier to pull than on my machine. I called some local dealers... the "unsmart one" (not getting my business) said its not doable. Another dealer said that if I bring in my existing unit, they can rebuild it into an easy pull one for $175 CDN. Once I pay for my new pistons, rings, etc (another story) I will do this.
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.
I wasn't interested in a new sled. Was satisfied with my 16 4-Tech 1200 Renegade and my 17 900 ACE Renegade. Dealer talked me into trying his personnal 19 900T Renegade with a chip and reflash. Claims it puts out 190 hp.
Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...
First time for the season the brakes lockup and got hot. and continued to do it all day. So replaced the caliper and dot 4 brake fluid cleaned reservoir and tried brakes seemed to work fine. Go out again brake lockup.
Can my rotor be warped causing this brake up?
Thanks in advance
