FORGOTTEN 1970 Evinrude Skeeter Snowmobile - Will It Run? Part 2

Part 2 of 2: This 1970 Evinrude Skeeter Snowmobile is beggin' to be put back in the snow. What started off as a quick "let's get it run and bang some ditches", got a little sidetracked with a budget refresh. This machine ended up looking, and running great! Watch it come back to live!

[@robertanthony9674]

For wear rods, make your own. Use 3/8" steel round stock and weld a 3/8" stud to it using the old ones for a pattern or weld fresh 3/8 round stock to the old worn out rods. It will be taller and steer better. Heat it until cherry red and quench with oil. They will last much better than oem.

[@facelessgamer1173]

A guy could also splatter a little har surface welds here n there on the bottom or the whole thing..... I don't know.... but yeah that'd make her last a lot longer too!!!!!

[@catmanzrt]

Yep, that's exactly what a guy used to do back in the late seventies in metal shop class in school. Free set of runners every year.

Is it the lack of wear rods that made it not steer at all? I swear I'd get better handling with my dirtbike than that thing, but I don't have any other reference since I've never seen a snowmobile run before.

That’s a keeper opposed cylinders wow. Great Job I’d love to own that. My very fist sled was 72 bombardier 1 lunger. I think I was 10 and my dad would flip when I would stall it because I couldn’t pull it over He would have to trudge down the field and pull it over. Then he would curse it all the way back to the house. He Hated that thing. Lol 😂.

The "Warm up stand" was more used for keeping the track from freezing to the ground.

Seeing Independence in the background disappeared like that... That car is the reason I started watching in the first place 2 years ago. I binged the whole build.

Our church group thought our youth group could handle an afternoon of sledding. They were so excited that no one listened to Ken... the 2 polaris colts hit head on in an open field... freaked out & held the throttle. Thank heavens for deep snow! We ended up rolling down a fun little obstical track & solved the freestyle problems lol. I can only imagine if they had acess to our the newer sleds! We hosted alot of winter retreats at the Cabin & taught all our children. We love to snowmobile.... I own 11 or so & I'm either the first or second owner on all but one... 3rd. Newest is a 21

I’m digging the old Buick can’t wait to see that in the future

[@willb3018]

@UCKV3etLzAgpSwqFgbIx9Nbg Not the one Tommy Boy and I are looking at. It's a Buick.

[@tommyboy3261]

White four door with shiny tires is a Buick. Your right there is a white caddy. That’s not in this video

[@warlordzen9975]

I have a feeling "closest match I could find" means first thing in my spray paint cabinet that had the word orange on it.

We (stepson and I) used to take some rebarb and weld up some bolts to it and bend the end up. Grind to fit in the hole. Lasted a lot longer then whatever they sold you at the snowmobile store back then. My sled was an ole 1973 Chaparral. This brings back so many memories. :)
