Red wire goes back to the battery to charge it. For sleds with electric start

Those 500's were about 90hp I think, when they came out in that S-chassis in 96 a feller that knew about grass drags took one and won the 500 stock class at the Haydays grass drags in Minnesota and then proceeded to move up and also win the 600 stock class too, that got peoples attention.

love those Rotax engines, I had an Elan and a 9500 blizzard, tough . I think Elan means "beat on me more" because we beat on that thing and it lasted 20 years, had to replace an ignition coil once, the engine never blew up

@coryernewein 2 жыл бұрын

Our Elan was welded, patched and stitched until it was more beat down than the losing horse. My dad yanked out the little rotax and slammed it in another sled for me to beat up and yeah just a carb clean every couple years and ignition once.

Can't remember what the wires are for but the plug that was supposed to be there allowed for accessories like electric start, heated grips etc. Instead of having different harnesses for different versions of the machine, it's cheaper to make one harness that fits all and only plug in what you need. Those formulas were basically all the same. They saved manufacturing cost by using the basic frame for as many models as possible.

That's actually a 98 formula 500. 97s did not have the rave valves.

@umonkee 7 ай бұрын

Great Observation and correct, '96 was the first year with SLS, "97 saw the Formula 500 no Rave Valves and in "98 saw the Formula 500 get the Rave Valves and the flames removed from the Decal.

Pretty fun to watch your videos😂. That's a nice wiring work on that Rotax 500👍 I had a good laugh but that 500 does seem to have alot of low-end torque. Keep up the great learning content👍

That was the voltage regulator...nothing to do with spark. Should run without it hooked up...but will burn out all the lights then. Those tethers cause a lot of no spark issues.

So my Super sport 550 Fan Runs and rips mint for a good leg of a ride, but after taking a 10 or 15 minute trail break, she'll fire right up but seems like if I don't feather the throttle before getting on her again , seems to want to stall. Any suggestions or maybe a fix before the next run in a couple weeks? Much appreciated dude.
