putting 550 in my hawk, any tips would be awsome! started sorting through the wiring doesnt seem to bad.
 
Lucky guy !

Lucky guy ! I heard it's the best Hawk you can own ! A guy did it in Qc and doesn't want to get back on anything else... That's what I wanted to do with my old 503... ended up selling it... my wallet didn't like the idea of owning 2 Hawks...

Did the motor came with the primary and the carbs ?
 
has primary, carbs and all electrical. scored on ebay 400 bones, at the end of season no one else bid on it. guess the guy should have had a reserve. speedo says 950 miles! I'm building lots of light weight stuff anyone know how much the 503 weighed stock? was to impatient to weigh mine before i tore it down
 
spark yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!

pulled the cord this afternoon spark when switch on no spark when switch is off. all i need! cutting in the ducting tomarrow, hopefully have zx2 and motor in by this weekend.
 
progress

just a few pics! my hawk, mockup for carbon silencer and skid plates.

Roo, that'll be such a grrrrreat ride !

Which size of tank do you have ?

What's been bugging me on the 503 now that I have the 800 is the power... I still think i'm missing 30 to 40 horses in really deep pow. I heard the 550 would crank about 90, which is not bad at all if the sled end up weighting around like what, 350 ? Carbon Silencer is not a bad idea at all... damn that thing is just a HEAVY PIECE of STEEL...

Pay attention, you may end up loving it more than your wife...

If ADBoivin ever do another production run of Snow-Hawks, I think a 550 fanner like that with the ZX2 Susp would be the way to go and would make so many people happy...

Will you be at Hawkfest, I wanna try it !
 
re: tlkdprod

I think the tank is 8 gal. (it's the medium size)

I don't have a clue what this machine weighed stock (ADB claims 350 lbs) if anyone has put a 503 on a scale I would love to hear some numbers. as far as final weight ??????? I work as an aerospace tooling maker, I think It's possible to shave 35lbs (maybe more?) off my machine and not sacrifice strength. see what kind of mad sceintist **** we can come up with!

when I'm done i'll post some weight, final and do some creative weighing to get stock weight.

rotax claims 46 H.P. 503f
57 H.P. 550xf
numbers seem a little low?
 
carbon can

made outer sleeve out of carbon fiber. little lighter, more important you can now change the packing, or put less than adb put in, less packing less noise. you just have to maintain it more often!
 
Power to weight!

2003MXZX440 Snowcross engine 96HP 8300RPM:eek:

That machine you poses was mistaken many a time while Brian was riding it, the inexperienced eyes of Twoski's always confused it as an EIGHTHUNNERT!

Tony still has the idea of a 440MXZX race engine, taking up space on the garage floor, weighed the 503 and the 440 on the bathroom scale, five lbs less for the FURFURTY, no water of course.

A fan Hawk riding with or around:D any mountain sled is priceless!

Does Roo=John?
 
re: hawk gal 440?

would u be interested in selling 440 ? that was actually my motor of choice for the 503! would be very interested in building an out of hand mosquito! could always put 550 mtr back in when 440 grenades.
 
mxz 600

a friend of mine has a 01 mxz600 sled for sale for 800.00 is complete but primary clutch is bad.
