Location: Iowa | Reeds and carb settings can be changed, but I'm not sure it will gain you 10 hp. Make sure if you do, that the oil pump gets adjusted accordingly. You would probably want to do a couple spark plug run/readings then too. Messing with snowmobiles a little, has showed me, it is not that easy to gain 10 HP. More air, plus more fuel will do it, just gotta watch everything else untill you get it right. |

| Thanks for the response. However what I really want to know is are there any other physical differences in the stock 60hp. |
