[@austinturcotte4268]

Hey I've got the 76 340 z sno pro do you know where I can find a motor

[@DoubleClutch1]

That was a great race!!

[@skyb8687]

I have a 340 with two cylinders and 4 plugs? Whats that about.

[@nomoremr.niceguy4778]

The twin plug heads were, and still are, about getting a bigger fireball in the chamber. Many companies tried that but the most popular in the 70s was Kawasaki for use in the first couple generations of El Tigre. Since then that idea has been used in some late model Cats for the bigger 800 Suzuki motors and I saw it on some Nissan car engines. For old sleds the problems with the dirty burning old school two stroke oils pushed Kawasaki to get more spark in there. It’s also cheap insurance because if one plug drops out the other will still go so you can get home.

@@nomoremr.niceguy4778 thanks,I have one in brand new condition I can't even give it away

[@billallen4793]

Too close to call, is B.S. ask the rider's, if it's still in dispute look a some video footage of the finish line. Every race should have 1 person who's ONLY JOB is to film the finish line!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

[@oldtimerf7602]

What sled actually won the race? I can't tell what brand?

[@starmotorsports8937]

Oldtimer f7 cat

[@mikedegregorio9113]

I think the merc won the two cats got 2nd and 3rd

[@daleolson3506]

You could go 30 more lengths in if you used the brakes

[@DANIELTHIBAULTchannel]

fucking sweet engine on it!

[@stovepipe9er]

How many rpm is it running?

[@johnvfx143]

4:23 start

[@heatmoon]

El tigre should win every race. Baddest snowmobiles of the late 70s and way too fast. 100+ setup by our black magic friends in thief river. 600 liquid.

[@andrewbratlie5023]

What is that on the handle bar you keep adjusting?

[@palmrose2]

Brake lever on the left bar.

[@daleolson3506]

Race might start at 400

[@mikesmith4468]

Are these sleds fast ?

[@larrylampman4443]

I have 5000 eltigras 5000 pantwra but it's blower up
