buildit Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I had the same snowmobile, well not that one but the same make. Pretty fun little beast but with no suspension it was a bit rough and tended to bury the rear in deep stuff pretty quick if you didn't keep the speed up.

max power Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Is that a plywood "seat"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 is it at least kinda fast? from the look of it, it's gonna be pretty slow, but i've never had one before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 that's just the base for the seat...when we acquired it a few days ago, the seat was rotted, the engine was seized, and it was full of mouse nests...we've since re-built the engine, in the process of re-doing the seat, and we cleaned it up...

magley64 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 the only thing left is the skis need replaced or reworked, as they are rusted through in the back... we're gonna try to patch them up and coat them in urethane... but we might need to replace them.

ponyjr Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 snowmobiles are stupid fast. Even old ones from the 80s can hit 100mph pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 snowmobiles are scary... I was riding ~55-60mph MAX and I thought I was gonna die. It looks like your little guy will be a lot of fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 with your fat ass on it, sure duane is one of us skinny-ish folkYeah, I'm sure that skinny people think the Honda reble is a crotch rocket but an Enticer 250 from the 70's is not a speed machine no matter what your ass size. On the plus side you could hardly kill the things. Great fun for Ohio since their cheap and one fill up of gas and oil can last all winter.

blake1221 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Snowmobiles are more like jetskis for the snow. Jetskis are more like motorcycles for the water. Just sayin. That thing looks fun tho, hope we get some white stuff so you can ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh_sprint Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 too bad there isnt enough snow in ohio to ride Come to Marysville. I've rode every winter since we moved out here. It's just about time to break mine out and get them ready for the snow. 125 mph on a bike is fun...125 mph on a sled is a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Okay, well having gotten it out a couple times...1. it seems to have potential, at least 45 mph (I'll find out with gps after our next BIG snow) not enough room in my 2 acre yard to open it up all the way, so i'll have to hit the greenway trail.2. Having issues with it at low rpms... does great if the rpms are high, but once i slow down to make a turn or whatever it seems to fall on it's face until I can get the rpms up again (runs like a chainsaw on the stand) Does this sound typical for a 2 stroke? or does something need adjusted?3. Being in the center of the snowbelt, I should have no problem with enough powder to keep the skis off the grass. Between the sled and snowboarding, i should survive the non-riding season. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
