This is my plan to bring the RXL back up to speed. The RXL quit running last season due to unknown reasons. This season due to my job I haven't been able to get my sled running before or during the season. But with the new job comes cash, and with cash comes new thoughts.
1. Get the motor running, I'm converting the RXL from EFI to carbs. I have most of the parts to do it, but I'm missing one thing, the carb boots. I have a Dennis Kirk catalogue on the way because they have a decent sizing guide for carb boots in there.
2. Once the motor is running I plan on tearing down the sled.
a. New belly pan
b. Extra 10 rear suspension (Rebuild before installation)
c. Complete front suspension rebuild. (New Radius Rods, Tie Rod Ends, and Plastic Skis)
d. 1994 Indy Chaincase (Both bearings on the driveshaft will be replaced)
e. Remove EFI parts (Fuel Pump, Relays, Excess Wiring)
f. Misc. Repairs
3. Performance is paramount, I loved the feel of a piped RXL but reading into the history the pipes I have on I will be getting new pipes.
a. New Aaen Pipes
b. Gearing for 120 MPH (Expecting about 100 MPH in reality)
c. Using Aaen recommended clutching & jetting
4. Whoop my dad's @ss...
Estimated cost: $1700
Estimated HP: 123 HP
Comments?
Cause I don't give a rats about who took second or 12th for that matter your just the next loser in a long line of many losers.
