Fox floats are definitely rebuildable. I would start with 80 psi and play with it a bit to see what works best for your riding style. I have Floats on my 700 and run 75 psi, but I'm about 200 with all my gear...

Just remember, you have to have the ski off the ground to adjust the pressure. I tip my sled on it's side into a snow bank to change mine in the field...

Yes, which is why I asked. I can't comment on what to run on the Floats with external reservoir, but i have tried from 50 lbs to 100 lbs in 5 lb increments on my Floats without the reservoir to figure out what pressure to run for my riding conditions.

I called Fox but Fox wasn't much help with setup, probably because they were on the sled when I bought it. They do have an online manual to look at on their website. I do know zero air pressure doesn't work very well.. you will trench pretty big time. Don't ask me how I know this!
