She is a heavy sled that trails and corners nice, a little hard on the back in the bumpy trails, The 583 is a very good motor that I have seen with over 20.000km. Very good sled IMO. I second that it is a great motor. I haven’t had a hiccup of trouble with the motor in my sled yet (knock on wood).

What kind of engine does Skidoo formula Z have?

I swapped a 1997 skidoo formula 500 engine with a 1994 skidoo formula z (583) engine. I am wondering that if there is anything else that I should change from the 500 to the 583. I am having a hard time starting it every once an a while. Does the CDI box, coil and from one fuel pump to two fuel pumps matter.

Is the formula 583 a good snowmobile?

TOTALLy reliable huge fun and very heavy. The 583 will not disappoint ever, and mine eats a few 700’s to 90mph.. 1.25track helps in deep snow, and it gets around ok in deep, but don’t stop. I sold my 2000 formula s 380 to my buddy, and that thing goes anywhere I do, but never gets stuck, and goes forever on fuel…
