Dido the bar on the back is to lift the track up. You should raise the track off the ground when you are first starting these sleds so if the engine revs it won’t take off on you. Trust me it happens. My neighbor across the street from me started his and it took off and didn’t stop until it hit my house then the car that was in my driveway. I love it when you save these old bikes and sleds.

Got a other Raptor 660r in my shop. Guy said put new top end on it 686, won't start, low compression (25)psi. Told him make sure valves were set to correct clearance would be fine. I ended up going through it, valves ha 0 clearance at TDC, adjusted them, boom (153)psi, put fuel to it fired right up. Love the new sled bud. Those were just a blast to ride even with those old smokey motors... enjoy.

We were supposed to get some snow here in Maryland after tomorrow, midnight, but it now looks like we'll only get rain. Was hoping for snow. Our weather service has forecasts that change drastically every few hours. When they say snow, we could end up with bathing suit weather. Our weather has been real weird the last couple decades. Been looking for a 2 stroke snow mobile engine near me for a few years and every single one has been listed for more money than you've paid for entire snow mobiles. Not too much use for them in my part of Maryland except for use in go karts and that's what I want one for.

Very excited to see snowmobile content! Been watch all your videos for a while now but I’m I diehard snowmobile fan so love that you’re working on them too. As a trick/tip for working on snowmobiles for priming carbs and fuel pumps, every carb sled I’ve worked on I blow into the tank with compressed air. Hold a rag and the air nozzle in tight to the filler neck of the tank so the air has no place to go but out the fuel line (you will have to block any tank vents) this forces the gas through the lines and into the pump/carbs, this is very helpful as fuel pumps on snowmobiles do not really pump without a prime and it is helpful to fill the fuel bowls (for sleds with mikuni style carbs) so you don’t have to pull the sled over a million times to get it to start. Don’t use a ton of pressure with the air but you should be able to watch the gas in the lines be forced into the pump/carbs, saves tons of time and lots of pulls.

I had that very sled in the 70s. It was my first sled. I was 14 or 15. Had to pull your brains out to get it started, no electric start. That bar in the rear is a kickstand for storage. Got my finger slammed in the hinge. Split a finger in two long ways but I had finally got it running so I duct taped it together and went for a ride around the yard. Then I went in the house covered in blood and told Ma and all hell broke loose.Yours is cleaner than mine was and started better then mine. What a find!

Good thought on safety, but you should actually never run a CVT without a belt. Not only could the primary clutch get damaged, but it could even explode. Best thing to do is have the track elevated or at least have parking brake on if it has one. Revving with no belt on is a recipe for disaster

Old sleds are fun. Love my 68 evinrudes. Run like old outboards. The handle in the back is a kick stand to keep track in good shape. When you are done riding drop it diwn and spin track to clear ice off. Ps put inline filter from tank to carb that line that fell into tank had a brass screen on it to protect carb. Keeps jets from clogging. Cable on recoil were always kinking. Paining to fix. Eveys had rope. You get be off then spin up sping lock in place with metal framing vise grips or clamp insert rope and knot it then slowly release clamps and let wind in till it stop pull out a little cok rd for tention then install grip. Never did a cable scorpion had jlo with that. They were built bt trail a sled in my home town crosby ironton minn. The owner invented the continues track and pattoned . Same track used on all new sleds today. Hope this helps. Oh yeh 150 sled named after diffrent co.s bit t some made the whole sled like omc or evenrude or massey ferguson to name afew. Probably why mine atlre still running. Iol never was impressed with jlo but it runs have fun😊😊😊😊😊😊

My dad brother my uncle had 1973 Bombardier F/A ( Free Air) 2 carbs with 2 cylinder he used 91 octane gas with Chain Saw Oil mix in Castrol brand one year by accident he put 91 octane gas in with Boat mix Castrol oil for outboard motors 2 cycle type it ran really good amazing me to and lots Powerfull machine it was! I used on home farm and rent ones my uncle he got motor rebuilt in 1994 to 440 Cubic Inches size and was going try get my dad running but he told want selling it instead fix up need motor repair on ! Also so far now you need long hose in fuel tank to pick fuel and if want keep running put in A grey bottle of STP Total Treatment fuel injection and carb cleaner in fuel tank and gasoline antifreeze bottle too help out each time fuel tank fill ! Both my dad and uncle sleds never had battery or starter motor too!

Then you should be able to lift it up carefully just make sure the spring stays in the cover and not on the roller. To re tension it should have a small groove cut on the side where you can pull the rope through it and spring it 3 or 4 times and itll tension itself

Whoa! Now we are getting into the early days of Snowmobiling. A 1968 Ski-Daddeler! Think I might have been in 5th or 6th Grade way back then. And boy did I want one of those Ski-Daddler Engines! I wanted to rip it out and stick it on a Go-Kart frame. I remember an unusual Snowmobile named "the Raider". I would never buy one, but wanted to drive one at least once. It have two tracks, much like the tracks seen on a Military Half Track, and instead of wheels in the front, there were Skis. Probably a Deadly High CG, so can't say I would ever buy one, but they were sort of Cool looking. If you ever find one of those, that might be a rare find. I'm thinking of another machine, maybe came out around 1973, called "Brute" They were Orange, and were the first Water Cooled engines I had seen.

Bogie Wheels! That's a selling point right there! Bogie wheels don't need snow for lubrication. You can go for extended lengths on dry asphalt or dry ice without worry. The "teflon" sliders which appeared a few years later would really wear down without the constant cooling and lubrication of snow. Sure, I've been living in the southwest desert for the past 40 years, but I still remember the benefits of bogie wheels from my time growing up near Canada in New York in the 60s and 70s.

Dad sold these first before becoming A Cat dealer. We liked the Wide track SkiDaddlers at first. Then once the second generation Panthers came out what the old Grayliners were good at was Selling Arctic Cats. A customer would ride the Daddlers and usually the response was Mehhhh OK. Boy that’s a workout! Then they got on a Panther that didn’t try to flip you off or massage your bum with the magic fingers of a hundred bogie wheels and had a flip top hood that allowed easy access and would run off and hide from the Grayliners etc for a little more cash. Usually the black sled went home with the customer. I liked them both but that’s how it went back in the day.

Man I love this vintage sled stuff. Right up my alley, I like you show the fixes the way you do. Very thorough. Contact Rick Weaver for drive cogs, he might have those.

Rope or cable problem like the cut the cable or rope let it releases all the way in and u can safely remove the pulley. And replace it. Not hard to do. All was put in full length rope in.

Those cogs are made of nylon type material and with age become very brittle. Your lucky you got to see it move a few meters!

Wonder if you can get some thick delrin sheets and make replacement wheels. It looked like the plastic part of the wheel bolted to a metal hub.

I use to Drag Race AMF Ski Daddler when they switched to an orange and black sleds. Some with two cylinder and some with three. They were fast and they would lift the skis on take off so it was body english time to keep the straight. This was about 1970 - 1971. I used to work on the one like you found.

FYI these JLO motors I believe are Czech. Here in the UK back in the day, they were used on portable arc welding machines. If you ever have to replace the plug lead good luck.

I owned one in orange. Complete with the rear "kick stand". Single cylinder and was a bear to pull over by a 10 year old boy

That is a common issue. On these old sleds the rubber drives rote out. Walk you path back and you will most likely find them on the lawn.

I had something similar, I think it was a Snow-Blob. After picking it up it fell out of the back of my pickup in a busy intersection and everyone was honking and yelling at me...

You need to fab a rear stand to get track off the ground. Bogie drive wheels. I’ve rebuilt cogs back up with epoxy and shards of fiberglass. I drill a 3/8” hole dead center of each cog tooth and epoxy a short bolt. Let it cure for 24 hours. Then mix up more epoxy with shredded fiberglass mixed in. Form it around the bolt shaping like a cog tooth. The length should be just below track outside edge. Grind to shape with a dust mask. They lasted a couple years so far.

I love the channel I'm not much of a mechanic but I'm learning a ton watching your videos!!! Are you going to do a second video on the 08 TRX 700xx?? I own one and would really like to see the rebuild on it.

Wonderfully utilitarian look. A work sled, rather than a leisure rider. Like it. 👍 You have no option but to tear into that pull-start, I'm afraid... You can't rely on a battery in the frozen wastelands... 🥶 Could you move the rear sprockets to the front?..
