Just wondering how many hondaswap members are into snowmobiles and riding...
I recently got 2 older sleds from my old mans house...
One is like a 1970ish ski-doo elan 250cc that my grandfather bought new for my dad back in the day, and the other is a 1980ish Artic Cat Jag that i went halves on with my old man so we could ride together.
They prob sat for 3 or 4 years without being touched so i decided to work on them.
So far I've got about 200 bucks in the old elan, the motor was seized to shit, piston seized to the cylinder wall and crank bearings seized tighter than a 2 year old. This was the second motor on the sled as the first one got bottom end play, crank bearings were shot. Picked up another 250cc motor for 100 bucks, but the crank was sloppy in that one too, so i returned it for a 300cc single cylinder. YEA MOTOR SWAP, lol
upgraded to the twin bogey wheels with new springs and some bungie cords to hold the hood down, she's an ugly yellow bitch but its my ugly yellow bitch
lol
semi fast
the jag needs a new carb but runs after cleaning it out...
so anyone else ride or work on sleds?
know of any good used parts places?
