Ok so IDK much about sleds but for $20 I thought id look into it and see if you guys thought I could get it running again...all I want is the motor and maybe some other stuff for another project

 

[fowler]

**** it for 20 bucks you dont have to make it run
its worth more as scrap metal

 

[sideways]

Get it! Now! If the engine is seized just from sitting then it should be easy to fix!

thanks Sideways that was my thought...just awaiting an e-mail from him

 

[chevy_cow]

Thats a good deal!

 

[Pellethuntr2]

hey guys might be a rly dumb question but im assuming this to be a 4-stroke???

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

nope, its a two. for $20 i'd go for it. if ths skis and solid, and the track is decent you could probably get $75 for the two on ebay alone. Wont be an amazing kart engine, but its a step up from any industrial engine.

 

[Pellethuntr2]

there's pretty much nothing left but an engine...im wanting to either put it on my kart or maybe my bobber street bike...question for you guys though...I was reading through the "snowmobile how to" sticky and it says that you need a jackshaft...why is that???

Because of the way the transmission it set up, think of it more as a shaft for mounting the rear part of the transmission on.

Thanks

The secondary cannot mount directly onto the axle, so you must mount it on a jackshaft. Infact you may end up needing a double jackshaft setup to get the proper reduction.

 

[Pellethuntr2]

wait how come it can't mount directly??? doesn't the snowmobile you a basic cent clutch design???

 

[Pellethuntr2]

ok gotcha so basically it's got a toque converter on it so it will need a jackshaft to run the secondary part of that...

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Yup, its just a biggass version of a TAV.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

I want to say its more like the TAV is a smallass version of a sled CVT.

Indeed. But I figured most people would be more familiar with a comet TAV than a sled CVT.

Read everything Gordon Jennings ever wrote about 2 strokes and you should be good to go.
