So in the begining of January.. me and randy went to montana... bad idea.. 1700+ miles round trip.. left friday night.. came back saturday night... 27 hrs of straight driving with only 15 minutes of total stopping time on the way there. about 30 minutes stopped when we got there. and maybe 15 minutes again on the way back.. lets just say the trip was horribly long. I was told this sled needed tuning of the carbs... got it home.. tried to figure the carbs out for about a week.. decided to take er in. well about in february.. we finally got it fugures out it was a bad crank about 40 degrees off. that was after carbs cleaning, new coils. and looots of tuning.. adjusting timing.. ect. so i buy a new bottom end.. had a big bearing kit.. got the engine put back together. tried to put clutch on.. wouldnt fit.. the bearing kit made me have to get the clutch machined. finally got the clutch put on.. weights were off, since it was from montana.. re-weghted it.. still nothing..
had to then take apart the secondary clutch.. adjusted that.. well.. all together i have about 2000 into my 750$ sled orriginally.. damn.. sux..
its pretty clean for its age..
slp triple pipes
144x2 track
simmons skis
drop & rolled chaincase
ekholm tunnel

So it had quite a few goodies put into it.. still costed a butt load though :(
here it is anyhow..

oh the garage is getting too full.. had to tip the 400 up so this tank can fit in there . lol

Holy shit.

Glad you got it running, but it's a bummer it cost $2000 more.
