[@MidnightPolaris800]

I cant even...buddy your videos have always been the best...you make me laugh my ass off and then your ingenuity always amazes me. Your budget is always the least amount you can spend and thats a major part of the success of your videos i feel...dont ever stop making videos. Maybe one day we can rip sleds together here in MN...take care

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks man! I'll try to keep on making videos for as long as people keep watching them, haha. Hope to get up there and ride in MN some day.

[@GeorgeJefferson-h7w]

Nicely done, good job. I wouldn't have been able to pass up those deals either. And I learned your gas inlet hose clamp trick. Good call! Those things always crack.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks man, gotta get the deals when ya can.

[@djbort]

Great video. Always look forward to content from the BEST KZbin channel out there!

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

[@themasterofnone3324]

Good to see ya my commonwealth brother

[@toocheaptosmoke]

[@dirtyfacegeorge9938]

When my 98 waterpump died I adapted the newer ones to fit, added a length of hose to the main one with a metal coupler drilled and tapped the coupler for that brass elbow had a head with the coolant bypass so used that, also there's a ridge on the bottom of the newer pumps that needs to be ground down to clearance for the engine plate.

[@2twostrokes]

yeah man good stuff as always

[@xnotx2]

The war zone 👍 Ridge runners is super close to me, haven't been there yet though.

[@dirtyfacegeorge9938]

Fn awesome man ,missed ya . And you come back with one of my all time favorite sleds, just finished a 98 xc 700 , ves swapped with perc and everything, 144x1.5 track fun project. Carry on 👌

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Nice, sounds like a sweet setup. 👍 What suspension you go with? Not sure if you caught it in the vid, but there's a '98 XC 700 project coming up at some point, haha.

[@JohnThunderace]

Was that a Massey Ski-Whiz?

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Might be... lol

[@kevinfoster1213]

So it was just a rumor. The white coats didn't come and get ya.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

You mean I don't have to be hiding from them??

[@kevinfoster1213]

70 years old and we have a small sled shop in Washington State. Then fellers should have taken me away some 30 years ago. But it's all perception. Maybe they did.. Your vijayos rank right up there with the best. Few and far betweenst but well thought out.. . This Millers for you

[@toocheaptosmoke]

@@kevinfoster1213 🍺🍺

[@jamest.5001]

It would be Awesome to get a AMR300, or amr500, supercharger for one of these engines, and put. on a pair 34mm carburetors, or a Single 60-68mm carb. With about 7-9 psi , possibly a 5-6 speed gearbox. An expansion chamber exhaust. Squeeze it into a ninja 250 frame! Or Drz 450 super moto! That should be 'SOMETHING ELSE, IF BUILT PROPERLY" MAYBE Run it on methanol 'occasionally' and when needed, run it on nitro, 50% with 48.5% methanol, and 1.5% mineral oil similar to the two stroke hobby motors. That produce something crazy like 600 HP per liter !?!?? (They spin something like 60,k rpm to do it, on nitro . So 150-180 HP from 600 cc should be possible right? Dreams I know.. happy holidays! 🎉
