Some questions about 88 EX570 Exciter

The unit itself is mounted to the frame as per the picture. The lever is mounted to the dash on the left hand side and looks similar to the decompression lever.

In 87 I think they were using the same kind of unit that was used for the coolant valve for the carbs. I'm curious what other setups they used for this.
Lets get some pics up for future reference.
 

Well, turn the gas on dummy. Lol :o| Yep the owners manual had it backwards as you all indicated as well. It runs and the carbs are synchronized. ;)!

It looks to me like when the lever is down it allows the plunger to drop and open the fuel passage. When the lever is extended (up) it looks like it shuts it off. Does that make sense. QUOTE]


That's exactly it. I checked tonight, no pics, sorry. But you are correct in your deduction.

Well, sold my mountain sled last week :dunno: Kinda sad, but couldn't justify keeping it right now. Looks like if we get the chance to take a trip out west this year the Exciter is it. :WayCool: Going to be a little different going from a 2008 to an 88 and a 155 to a 121 inch track. Lol Luckily my friend still has a long track so I can follow him. I just found a 33T sprocket on ebay for a good deal. ;)! A friend of mine was able to find me some hi altitude clutch weights and spring so I should be set. :letitsnow
 
Sounds great, let me know how it works with that high altitude kit. I guess you have to make the exciter to your new mountain friend then:) Just extend it a bit and you´re home free, lightweight snow killer weeeeehaaaaa
 
Does anyone have the part numbers, or know exactly what clutch tools I need to take apart the Comet primary clutch spider? I want to remove the shims in my primary to fit the 89L belt... My primary is shimmed for a 33mm belt, not a 35mm. Any pics of what the tool looks like would be nice too, as it seems like two tools are needed as well as a puller.

Lasse, I checked video of the guy who adjusts the belt width on the Comet, but he's using some tools I don't have. one part holds the fixed sheave, and the other part removes the spider?

See if you can find them here -

The tools needed are available in several different designs.

or use a standard socket and breaker bar.
