1975 was the first whip. Blue Metal flake with fiberglass hood and pan.

you will of course find '74 on the manufacture date, since they were made for the '75 snow season, which started in the fall of '74
i have seen people selling machines based on that date on various for sale sites and papers (of all brands)

Good point. Easy way on the scorps to tell the year is to look at the serial number. First digit indicates the year. 5=1975, 6=1976 etc.

Im still very new to this what do you mean by fiberglass pan.... Belly pan?? Sorry, Yes, belly pan. In 1976 they switched to plastic hoods and belly pans. |

personally i prefer the fiberglass ones, you have to treat the plastic ones like they were made of glass

LOL. . The plastic ones aren't "that" bad. . . and you can fix them up as long as you catch them while all the pieces are still there  But, Between a 75 and a 76, yes I prefer the 75. Go later than that and you start to get some of the other benefits of the newer style. Wider front end, tapered tunnel, etc. If you have any questions post them up, there are plenty of people here who can help you. |

If you were looking in the Intertek manual its a misprint. The correct engine for the 400RV was the reed valve CCW KEC400/21.
