Actually, when properly adjusted with good halogen bulbs and when you trim the openings they are just barely tolerable compared to modern lamps. Your Jag headlight is probably more useful than the one on the bLast, from what some owners have reported. I won't let you or anyone else attempt to win the worst snowmobile headlight award. We had a SkiDoo Safari 377 and when ridden hard, the headlight would inconveniently fall inside the hood at the most innopportune moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jag has less for lightweight, the true performance machine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed looking for parts for my wildcat a lot of parts are NLA. If you need a lower ball joint for one of those I should have one. It is new. I picked one up for a spare jag part, not knowing if it works for jags but have since found a few nos jag ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zr800m10 59 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Arctic Cat JAG Z. Rear suspension removed and all the wheels are getting new grease or bearings if they can't be saved. Skid was in better shape than I thought. Next up, front suspension. Any suggestion how I can remove the rear bolt on the lower A-Arms without removing the engine or bellypan? Otherwise I remove the spindles and mask and paint the arms without removing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A 93, nice! You don't have to remove engine or belly pan to take the control arm bolts out. I replaced the bushings in my 94 z, our 96 jag, and in the puma last year. Didn't remove engine or belly pan. At first I thought belly pan would have to come off but it doesn't and it's really not too bad at all to do. I think if you remove the exhaust is all you have to do Edited August 22, 2022 by mnstang Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mnstang 1,288 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 This weekend I got the Jag out and finally put the snopro motor in. Wanted to get another jag to be the mod but that is not happening so doing it to the 94. Good amount of time into this motor and lots of reading and over analyzing things as far as timing and exhaust to run. Hopefully it turns out good. It's running and I even took it around the yard but it didn't like that, I dumped a bunch of oil in the crankcase when I put it together and it was still burning that out it is running good now on the stand but I haven't even begun jetting it, still using jetting from the stock motor and it's running lean even at 70 degrees today. And I looked at it a bunch. Man it looks sweet. VID_20221002_100416.mp4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mnstang 1,288 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Sourced a couple more shocks so now I have a complete set of NOS Ryde FX accessory catalog shocks for the 94 jag. Sick. Also the 96 jag got some early use. Also sourced some period correct, stock appearing aluminum skis that should be good for a 12 pound weight saving for the 94 and the 96 will likely end up with the 94 skis because the 96's are wearing pretty thin. If I hadn't been hunting I would have already had some solid testing on the 94 with the mod motor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was super pumped to find the shocks on his site. Great price too. Last two. I only knew the part numbers for them because I picked up these old RV sports catalogs and they had them listed there and then I searched Jerry's with those numbers. Even the old performance manuals I have didn't list those shocks. The RV sports catalogs are super cool to look through! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
