My sled engine has a very simple wire harness (5 or 6 wires) and I'm trying to figure out what I should hook up to it. I have a Indy 500 dash and some on off switches laying around so I figured that I could rig up a awesome dash. Here's the problem. I can't find a manual anywhere for me engine so I have no idea what the prupose of each wire is. Is there anyway to find out without a manual?

How old is the engine? Most are probably for the ignition system, a couple are the lighting coil.

Might have points, might need a cdi box.

Yer welcome.
I just got a motor manual for it. I emailed a guy who works with snojets and we figured out that the motor came out of a 74 sno jet sst. I think it pumps out about 40 hp. On a side note, I have a offer to get a kawasaki ltd 440 liquid sled. It needs a new rod bearing and carbs but everything else is there. $125 for it all. Should I get it?

You might end up having to spend a lot of money getting that engine (and the rest of the sled) all running again. It kinda comes down to if you'd be able to do all the work yourself, how much the parts would cost, and then most importantly... how much the sled would it be worth when all running again?
My advice is to find out what year and model that sled is, then do a google search for all simalar models curently for sale to get a rough idea what it might be worth if running. To preform this research all you'd need to do is type in the search term for sale and then the sleds year brand and model.
You could also try doing a couple more google searches by starting out the search terms with replace rod bearing and for sale carburetors. Hopefully these searches would direct you to some good info to help you make your decision to buy it or not.

Does it need a big end or little end rod bearing? Big end bearings require the crank to be pressed apart, not a job most can do in the garage.
The deal ended. He just stopped responding which pisses me off. It's just rude to leave someone hanging. But that's life. Another guy contacted me about a old chapperal race sled. I've always been interisted in vintage sleds so I might jump on it.
