The GPX and SST f/a both used the free air 440 Yamaha (65 hp). I do not know if there were any minor variations in carburation or exhaust between the two but the base engine was the sx440 Yamaha. Hope this helps.

so when i go to but a compleat gasket kit i should order what kit for what sled i cant find a gasket kit for a 75 sno-jet 440 f/a at my local yahama dealer. so a 75 sx 440 is the same kit at my 75 sno-jet right?

It should be identical. A Yamaha dealer will not list Sno-Jet parts. You can get these through aftermarket like Dennis Kirk too. The 74-75 GPX 433 parts would be the ones. Also, there is a website called sno-jet.com it has a link to a picture of the engine used in the SST f/a. It is identical to the GPX. I used to have a 75 GPX.

Here is the link -- look at the picture on the bottom

I own 4 1975 SST F/A s. The only big difference I've noticed is the GPX has oil injection, Sno*Jet doesn't. Sno*Jet runs a single tuned exhaust, GPX has twin pipes. Sno*Jet runs Mikuni carbs. :cn:
