Question here for you guys. I recently bought an FL350. My question is will jet ski engines work on these with the proper modifications? Also I have an opportunity to get a Suzuki 600cc efi sled Engine for $200. How about clutch options for both?

Oh my !!
My question is: what happened to the stock Engine and if you still have it then why are you going for other Engine options ??
If your answer is more power then you have to realize there are limitations unless you are highly skilled at fabrication, have the tools and the money. The FL350 does not have a slip clutch like the FL400 so if you land with the power on you will blow the gearbox. Also finding critical parts for this gearbox, like the AB gear or the shaft is not gona happen. It's gona be custom all the way.
A stock oddy will do 63 mph. That's highway speed and fast enough to break your back .
Lots of guys here have done sled swaps and there are threads on it.
Be careful on the power thing because these machines have a deadly flaw. You can't see what is coming up because we sit so low. I was involved in a huge crash a few years ago that destroyed my machine and sent me to hospital for 8 days.

The best way to find something here is to use the search box above.
In the search box type ONE word ONLY and hit enter. If you don't you will get to many hits.
When the list of threads comes up there will be another search box there on the right.
In that box type ONE word ONLY. Keep doing this as many times as you want until you have narrowed it down. Some common words will be ignored like "Engine" "Honda" etc.

Welcome new guy.

I guess I can say I'm pretty skilled on fabrication and Engine building. The Engine is with the bike and runs. I just see these Engine swaps happening and have some options in front of me that I don't want to pass up. And thanks for the input on the search bar. That thing is confusing.

A couple of other tips on using the search box.
1) When you find a thread that you want to read and click on it, then at the very very bottom of that page will be space where there are similar threads to the one you are reading and you can go to those to. The site admin set it up this way and it is a cool feature. Usually the first three on that list are the best.
2) You can type more than one word in that main search box but will get a lot of hits. You can clean this up by just using ONE word in the other search box that says "search these threads". Sometimes this is a better option because if you only type one word in the main search box you may not get the hits you want.

I think one of the biggest issues with the watercraft engines is the PTO side does not use a taper for the CVT, that is why sled engines are the preferred option. maybe there is enough meat on the crank to have the proper taper put on? seems like a lot of work but for $200, maybe buy and resell and get enough to buy a Skidoo Engine.

I have an opportunity to get a Suzuki 600cc efi sled Engine with harness for $200. Also don't they make primary clutches without tapers. I thought I saw some on a site? It wouldn't be a problem for me to chuck a crank in my lathe and turn it with or without a taper. Just make a taper jig for those.

So are you talking about a Snowmobile or a Watercraft Engine? What exactly is a 600 EFI Suzuki Engine again?

If that Engine came out of a Tigershark/Arctic cat watercraft jetski - then STAY AWAY! Suzuki made a a junk Engine for Tigershark back in the 90s and they were complete crappola with a load of reliability problems, sunken by a company which pulled out of the jetski business some 20 years ago. Literally the WORST jetskis on the entire lake. No parts, easily blow cranks, overheat easily, just... JUNK! I've seen only a few of them, and they all ran like total garbage.

Now if you are talking about a Suzuki snowmobile 600 Engine then that's may be a different story.


That said I don't really understand how a watercraft Engine would work in an ody - ever - because the way the exhaust is cooled on a jetski from the water jacket could get you into some plumbing problems with your design.

so where are you finding these engines for $200?

I found an 06 artic cat 600cc sled. A mountain cat I believe.

Ok guys I've been tearing down my 350 and have a couple questions and need a couple parts.
#1- I need an intake manifold.
#2- a recoil guide tube.
#3- how do I get the plungers out of the front master if they are frozen? Also a good master rebuild kit.
#4- a starter rebuild kit or if the eBay ones are worth it.
#5- a shift linkage. One of them is broke.
#6- I have 2 rear seat mounts that are rusted through. If anyone has 2 off a scrap frame I'll buy them.

1) I made my own: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17228&hilit=Homemade+intake
DON'T BUY THE ONE FROM AFTERSUCKSMOTUR SPERTS. It's junk. Here is why: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16277&hilit=aftersucks+intake

2) Just use a bicycle inner tube and tie wrap the ends.

3) If they don't pull out easy then soak in oil for days.

4) Probably Honda (Honda used it on many of their atv's). or Partzilla https://www.partzilla.com/search?q=31206-KG7-000+ (this is only part of the kit).

5) Not sure where you can get these but here are some cable suppliers: http://www.venhillusa.com/products/cabl ... -kits.html

These guys show it: https://oddatv.com/product-category/ody ... es/page/2/

6) Make your own and weld on

Here are some threads on doing the vent modification so that your starter does not fill up with oil:
