I just picked up 1997 sl900

[Seakid]

Now I have three sl model. The polaris is complete was told good engine but she act like isnt getting power.
If im correct the red engine may need updated cdi. How do i checked if mine need updated or already updated?

[Mr. GP1800]

Open the electric box and look at the part number on the CDI. 4010447 is the updated CDI. It may have the number 4010885 on it as well. Anything that starts with 406 is not updated.

I looked up its start with 406 so I think I found the problem... Beside a fuel lines will need updated and carb cleaned out from saint not in use for 5 years. U have a spare updated Cdi laying around any chance?

[Mr. GP1800]

No spares I am willing to part with. You will need the whole update kit, stator and CDI. I think Martos sells the kits with Polaris stators, not aftermarket for the same price as the SBT ones.

Omg a 600 dollar for just a updated system no wonder the owner got rid of it...
the wiring to cdi box isnt looks right several wiring has been disconnect and rigged out... anybody has a "blue print" so i can straight it out. Right now no power wont turn over at all and the display doesn't turn on i believe there disconect wiring somewhere.

Other than that she looking good for its age... u know what I am thinking about pull engine out and sell it then buy a 1200cc engine from genesis that i saw good running for 800 no title. A 1200cc in small sl hull?

[Mr. GP1800]

Try and get a better picture of the inside of that electric box. Im sure one of us will see something.

I did just that a couple of years ago. 1997 SL900 swapped in a red 1200 engine. Ran nicely but needed a lower angle nozzle wedge in the jet pump to reduce porpoising at speed.

I posted some details of the engine swap at the time, somewhere on here.

I might not have posted an actual project thread, just a few posts as things were being discussed.
