I would definitely be concentrating on the compression problem. You should be able to pop the valve cover off with the fuel tank removed if you need to go looking in there. Always try a second compression gauge for good measure.

I expect some messing around with the clutch. Time will tell as it hasn't showed up yet. I am hoping it has enough grunt to keep the 20T top gear, but I do have 19T gear if required. Only one way to find out!

Flat out it's sitting around 10,100 RPM. I had it showing 145 km/hr on the speedo. I am currently running a stock MTX clutch. The original GT clutch got damaged in an accident which started this whole long track conversion project in the first place. I was planning on getting a SBR clutch kit...

Take the left side plastics off and you will find the regulator just to the left of the handlebars.

I contacted Skinz two years ago and they were able to get me one. The website said discontinued but I sent an email anyways and they dug one up for me.

I ordered one and should be here next week. I will post an update after i get some miles on it.

I ended up selling my 07 FX as the girlfriend didn't want to snowmobile anymore. This sled has never given me any issues. The gentleman I sold it to brought it back to me the next day with the following snag: -Would rev to 2800 - 3200 RPM, then the engine would stumble and headlight/taillight...

I took it out for a good ride and it pulls great with the 20T top gear and 9T drivers. I have a Powerbloc 80 clutch coming next week and I am hoping to see some mild improvements to what i currently have.

I am finishing up my long track conversion and I know clutching is probably going to be an issue. Has anyone tried a PB80 primary? I am looking at this as an option over a clutch kit from SBR.

It's 1" OD

I finally got a good chunk of this project done. Ended up modifying the 08 GT instead as it needed a new track. The 9 tooth drivers did fit but she is a little tight. A little track stretch this winter will definitely help. I have way too many hours into this thing... As a bonus I found the...

I think the only way to do this is to remove the shaft/gear box assembly and do it on the bench. I believe the bearing is pressed on from what i can tell. Remove the bolts that secure the gearbox to the frame, the gear and circlips in the chain case, and the secondary clutch. You can then drive...

I'm thinking start with the 9 tooth drivers (if they fit), and 19 tooth top gear and clutch kit. If it isn't able to pull it I can drop a tooth on the gear.

My plan is to do the Schmidt Brothers stage 2 clutch when I am done. Would this give it enough grunt?

Thanks for the input guys. Currently the 07FX is stock and I have all the MTX parts available (stripped down and in boxes) so all options are available. The MTX had a 19 tooth top gear and 8 tooth drivers in it. I am no expert in regards to gearing, but what i gather is the 9 tooth drivers and...
