Greetings from Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway

Greetings from Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway. A few weeks ago my nephew and I pulled out the old 73 elan from our machinery lineup. Its just about ready to ride again but now I have a problem a 78 elan followed me home today and I'm going back on Sunday to get a Blizzard or Everest with a 503. Looks like it's gonna be a fun winter

Carb switch

Hey guys. So i went and ordered a dg pipe and vforce 3 reeds. I did some research on these phazer builds and guys are putting carb racks off a vmax 500-600. And they are saying you shouldnt have to change the jets on them. Just have to tune them to the motor. What all is involved into putting a set of these on. Is it just the throttle cable that i will have to make work?.

Looking at buying a 97 Yamaha VMax

I am looking at picking up a sled for the first time in a long time. My last one was a 69 Yamaha Enticer 300 that never really had any issues. There is a 97 Yamaha 700 VMax SX locally here that I can pick up for $1000 with 4500 miles on it in near perfect condition. Would I be doing well on this sled? I figure for $1000 I should be able to ride if for a year and sell it next year if I want to pick up something newer. Are there anything specific things I should watch out for on this sled?

The only thing I am worried about on it for me is the suspension as I am a tall and large man. Is there anything inexpensive I can do to the stock rear suspension to get a little more comfort out of it for me?

84 Yamaha srv540

Hello! I am looking for a simple solution. I put a new fuel pump and lines on the sled. I also replaced the oil pump lines. Started it back up and it idled fine. But the bottom line of the Oiler has nothing in it. The other lines had some oil. I shut it down and checked the plugs they were not white. Ideas?

Front suspension swing arm/trailing arm.

Hello everyone. My 96 Touring E LT 340 has a rusty front suspension trailing arm. The arm that goes from the ski to the footwell. Anyone know what years and models will fit? It looks as though the arm itself didn’t change over the years. But the colors did. I can find plenty of arms if they are interchangeable.
Thanks.

2007 Skidoo Blizzard

Have a problem starting the Blizzard. Getting ready for the season .. filled gas tank 1/4 full with fresh gas..
Made sure kill switch was ok … pressed start button … nothing happened . Checked fuses and all looked ok .. Tried a pull start , nothing happened .. I read if battery dead you can not start this way .. Took battery out and charged to full.. Put battery back in … pressed start button … could hear fuel injection working and it did turn over but would not start .. tried again .. this time it kicked in and sort of ran for 4 sec or so then stopped .. Tried and tried but the same things happened … tried a pull start , the same thing happened .. Took out plugs .. they were a bit wet so it was getting gas … some anyway .. I cleaned and gapped .. put back in and tried to start … the same thing happened . Took plugs back out and replaced with new .. tried to star again .. same things … ran for maybe 4 sec then shut down .. anyone have any ideas on this ..

Polaris fuel tank lines

I recently acquired a few snowmobiles and am new to the sport. In the process of rebuilding much of the engnine bay I found remains of deteriorated fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. There is the vent up top, the main fuel line that connects to the weighted pickup in the tank and then at the very bottom theres a line coming out, could this be a drain or something? What should I do with this line? It's a 1991 polaris trail
