So I figured I would post this up. It's a 2 stroke so it fits right?! :grin:
Never have got to have too much fun with it since I play with my cars so much but I'll get around to it...
Red85Celica told me about this snowmobile his brother in law had and he wanted to get rid of it. He actually had 2, this and an old 80's Yamaha Bravo parts slead. I got both for $100. Sold the Bravo for $100 a month later... haha
The Polaris has needed some help, but is a good solid start. My first run out with it, it broke a drive chain 5 miles in. Friend towed the slead back and then I road on another friends... that was interesting... LOL
2nd time out, my cards failed me about 2-3 miles in and would only run at full throtle, but would not idle and was a PITA to get started. Got back to my truck and someone broke in and stole all my tools and camera gear, $4000 worth... it was a bad day.
Anyway, I did have fun when I took it out so I'll be working on it again to take it out next year, but I do have plans... :twisted:
The motor is a 550cc, runs good, other then the rebuilt carbs needing a good tune. She's all stock right now and I'm not really gonna do anything to the motor. If I find a long track for cheap, I might do that since it's heavy and my friends like powder...
I had a friend that builds custome sleads and ATV's rebuild the carbs and I also replaced all the chain drive parts. New gears, chain and painted up the chain case.
I also picked up a small vintage snowmobile trailer from the 60's for $150.
So far I have about $300 into the slead and the trailer...
Plan for this summer? Oh yeah! I got some G.I. Joe decals from ebay and will be painting it snow camo and mounting dummy gun berals to the hood! :grin:
Here it is... When I got it...
Ewwww... Gay 1990's stripes!
