Measurements for tools

Any one have a Ryde Fx Shocks Ifp Position/Extract tool? Looking for diameter and thread size that screws into the ifp to make one. Can’t justified spending $90 for a threaded rod with a ruler on it.

Xc 700

One of the guys iWork with said he had a wedge xc 700 twin. Didn't think they made the 700 twin till after the gen 2? But since I don't know everything I'd like to get educated. I'm thinking it was a transplant. When was the 700 twin born? Was it in the xc? He had a white hood. Just curious. I didn't call him a liar. But he can spread it out pretty thick sooo?

1996 Arctic Cat Jag 440 Liquid

I am looking for an exhaust tube for this sled.

Any offers or pointers would be appreciated.

I have welded up the one I have but not sure how long it will hold up.

Crank no start issue.

Ok guys. got a problem. The 97 Ski Doo Touring 380 would not start today. I had it running over the summer, no problem. what it does is cranks but wont start. it has no spark and the headlight is very dim. every once in a while I can get it to start and it runs fine, everything works. then I shut it off and again it wont start.
This issue seems to be hot or cold. I got it started again and got it on the trailer. This sled has had this issue since I bought it. One day it wouldn't start when it was -10. I let it sit till after lunch and then it started and ran fine the rest of the day and the next day. last year it died on the trail on my son. I turned around and it started up so we went to go get lunch. when we came out an hour later it wouldn't start. It looked like it wasn't getting any fuel. So we jumped on the Cat and came back with the trailer and it started right up. I rebuilt the fuel pump at the end of last season, but we never got it back out on the trail.
So here we are now. the previous owner said he replaced the coil/CDI, and it did look newer and wasn't even mounted (I did mount it when I seen it laying on the bellypan).
So I guess my question is does this sound like a Stator going bad? I`de like to test it before I spend $150-$200.

1st snowmobile- recs on older model??

Moved to a new place with a couple acres and have been looking at different snowmobiles on craigslist and trying to learn about them. Any recaps on solid older models to look for? Looking to spend 1000-1500 and realize I will be messing with it and fixing things. I am Indiana and we don't get a ton of snow so this would just a fun thing for the kids and I to mess around with a couple times a year. Just to give an example of what I am finding. Also, when looking At these, besides starting it, what to test/look at mechanically??
