No luck finding a complete sled for less than 1200? How many miles on the sled? Have you researched the sled you want to buy to see what the remaining parts you will not use are worth don't forget to include that in your spread sheet, hopefully you can recover 300-500 bux on the left over sled parts.. |

600 miles on the Engine rebuild with receipts. I have gone through the complteted ebay auctions and think i will get that much back. the killer may be on shipping the larger parts since not many locals around here will be needing the parts. I plan to sell most parts on ebay, as you can see here i am used to selling on ebay. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... 2531.l4585 |

The kit Emannuel sells is very complete and comes with a completely rebuilt Engine and you use the stock pilot wiring with just an added kill switch.the conversion can be donein a weekend. Only other parts needed is a larger radiator and fuel tank. Rememberif you buy a sled you will still need to buy a different intaake system the theoriginal carb setup wont fit with the tranny. And the clutch from the sled will need machining to work with a belt that fits the driven clutch. |

No nothi ng can be done to the driven to run a thicker sled belt. But thereis a belt that is 1/16th thicker then the stock pilot belt that works well nitrosport5 is running it and so is steve with good results. The farr kit is gonna be cheaper for you since it comes with the starter and pipe the is a perfect fit for the pilot and the intake and carbs. The jetting is spot on stock for the 583 for the carbs he sends. |

I'm running his Engine mount, halorising is running his complete kit I believe. along with steve. its a great kit. especially if you don't have sleds nearby or the ability to build your own pipe/rebuild an Engine. kit is damn near bolt in. |

I have no idea what is needed there. |

If im buying the whole kit is there any reason not to go 670? if you are going to be a bear you may as well be a grizzly bear!! |

Unless you want/need electric start right away, you can save a couple $'s and try to collect parts yourself for e-start over time. Starter. Here's the one Farr uses, $65 shipped is the best price out there for a NEW starter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130593809129?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Polaris ATV Solenoid, $20, and is the cheapest you'll find one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171102366239?_trksid=p2055120.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Sea/Ski Doo starter mount. Quite a few of these around for $10-$12. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sea-Doo-Starter-Bracket-420853390-BRAND-NEW-/111004974096?pt=Personal_Watercraft_Parts&hash=item19d8697c10&vxp=mtr TRA clutch ring gear...this is usually the tough cookie to find, plus you have to drill/tap the mount holes on your clutch's backside. More likely to find a whole clutch with the gear. And they seem to fetch a decent price. If you can't find a ring gear and/or can't drill/tap and/or don't want to hassle with it all, then Farr's e-start option is WELL WORTH its $300 price. One-stop shop and you know it all works together. As for a radiator, there are plenty of used ATV radiators with fans for around the $40-$70 mark for sale online. I love doing things right but on the side of a dime. They certainly don't call me "D$" because I spend a lot! lol |

B S wrote: the starter mount wont work with most liquid cooled engines ( i have already tried it) I thought that particular style of starter (without the piggyback solenoid) along with that style of bracket is what Farr offers in his kits?? Look at the picture...http://www.farr-offroad.com/rotaxconversionkits.htm And I know that starter I pointed out is what he uses, because at one time you could see the items another eBayer has bought on their feedback page, and I snooped, lol. I have the OEM starter for my '91 type 467 l/c Engine, and it has the piggyback solenoid. I had to make my own bracket and had to trim the Farr Engine mount for the starter/solenoid to fit. And to make room for the plumbing regardless of which starter is used, you have to change the water pump cover from the one that points down to the one that shoots to the mag side. I'd like to switch to the separate starter & solenoid like he offers, though, because its a MAJOR BIOTCH to wire the starter solenoid when its UNDER THE Engine. lol! AAAAAND I believe I had to install the Engine/mount with the starter bolted on already. It was a pain.

Farr will machine the stock sled clutch to fit the pilot belt. That comes with his kit. It works great. The farr kit is worth every penny. |

Ok, you guys got me! This thread has thrown my interest into a conversion project. Now I have several questions about it and I have 100% no knowledge on sled engines and such, so please bear with me. 1-the 583 kit Farr sells for the Pilot-does that come with carbs, I don't see it listed as such. If no carbs are supplied, do you guys use 2 carbs or purchase a 2-1 intake for the Engine. Are they even made a 2-1 intake? 2-if they do make a 2-1 intake, what carb works best? Larger, smaller? Also air boxs? Pictures of your guys current set up would be sweet indeed, especially for the back yard guy. Is there room for a box style set up using this Engine? 3-fuel-I see that the stock OEM tank will not work, as pictured above an afternarket one is the way to go, does it work off gravity to supply the Engine? 4-cooling. What type radiator have/are you guys using currently? Pictures? 5-the alignment belt wise, I see in the thread a different belt is/has been found to utilize stock pilot trans clutch. Can you guys clarify the belt maker, size please? Any issues running the SUPPLIED CLUTCH TO stock trans? 6-wire harness. Farr supplies from reading above just a secondary kill switch that is added to the OEM harness, that's all? Everything OEM in the Pilot harness is utilized for the rotax Engine? No other modifications are needed? I am sure I will have more question. It was funny I was looking back at files I had here way back from the darkside issues. There was several fellas which tried to sell a similair kit for conversions for a ton of cash-and it never took off. Seems to me this fella Farr is really helping the community out by making this kit almost(and I am making this statement purely from reading posts here)bolt in, really seems like the kit is a win win. Kudos to him. |

Found this thread on "wheels" conversion done by halorising: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13586 Hey Halorising, what radiaitor is this in that thread please? I see Emanual replied back to questions regarding the electronics questions I listed above: "WIth the 583 there are three wires to tie into the original harness. Depending on the year the black kill switch wire will come out of the Engine or the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) all you have to do is tie this in to the live side of kill switch The two yellow wires go to the voltage regulator, I used the honda voltage regulator in my swap, some guys prefer to use the sled voltage regulator and I give them upon request when I have them If the pilot regulator isn't compatible with the 583 I will start including the voltage regulator in the kit" So that issue seems to be answered already. Cool. Have any of you guys used the seld regulator with this conversion? Any issues, is it just better to keep the stock Honda regulator? Again, thanks for the replies in advance fellas!!! |

Post subject: | Re: Help me plan my 583 swap. |
The kit comes with carbs and they have a pump built into them. You want to go with two carbs. Its a stock motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) so the jetting from the 570 seadoo is what you want. |
