Hey you Blokes,I'm after a spare/replacement 01' Skidoo 600 motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) complete please.Must have 150psi compression,low hours/use.
Need it for the Drakart.The closer to SoCal the better for transport purposes to Downunder.

hey so your after a type 583? I have seen several running go in the 300-400 range. not sure about 150 psi, but if its a spare and needs new rings, so what. install them and then slap the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) on the shelf. that's my plan .. I maybe able to locate one for you, but I suspect shipping would be your biggest expense baz ..

Thanks Sun,(1st name?) but it's a Type 593,597cc,Skidoo mxz600, 01 model.
You don't need to tell me about postage costs Mate! But beggars CAN'T be choosers!
The thing is...there is NO snow here,and consequently no sleds,parts,services etc,get what I mean?
So the more motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) I get,then the less time,$$$,races I lose.
To anyone that can locate and help me with one(maybe even a complete 600RS for conv? I will be deeply greatful and will name my next child after you!

nah my 1st name is actually Mike, I'm a pale mofo so I picked up the sunblock nickname several years back.

I think the rotax 593 are reed valve motors while the 583's are rotary and make more torque. It would be my guess that both will fit in the frame. I wouldn't mind to have a rotax 670 which is the largest rotary they make, but they are 3-4x higher than the 583's so I am not sure that 100c's is worth all that extra money. I have never searched around for the 593 but will take a look. If it were me, I would get one in average shape and just hang on to it. use it as a spare and then rebuild the primary motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) in the future if it ever has a failure of some kind. This will give you plenty of time to collect the rebuild parts at low prices.

only one I could find :

I would really investigate the 583's .. you get get two of them at that price easy. I think they are just a bit older and more common in the used market. Everything I have read about them is very positive.

If you find one in the US you want, I can try and get the shipper to send it to me, and then I'll just ship it to you. I would imagine most US sellers would be weary of shipping to AU.

Thanks for all ya help(whitie) Mike!
I have emailed the seller for pics details,comp psi etc.
What state are you in(not mental) What does BC stand for(don't say before Christ)
If this one has reasonable comp etc,could be a goer?
Thanks again Mate!

I'm in NC, North Carolina. It would be a pretty good distance to ship from WI. I would think at least $100 for shipping.

NC...Nuthin' could be Finer? Right?
I have emailed another bloke that might be able to help me out there,as he lives in WI,just not sure yet how far from Phillips WI .
Main thing I need is someone to check it all out/verify for me,and arrange postage,ensure PROPER packing to survive the trip.I think if I went by air there is a weight limit,around 30-40kgs? I think that would mean 2 parcels,1 with bottom end,1 with top end seperate?
Otherwise all 1 parcel by ship would take about 2-3 months all up.
