Duane, I really do have to say thanks for being patient on that deal.

By the way can you ask your buddy about the motor he has. I am very interested if he wants to part with it.

Very well written, as usual.

I will start by saying that I hate power jet mikunis with a passion. If your flange is leaking, replacing it is the first step. The choke moving around is a common issue. Maybe try removing it from the dash a temporally remount it more solid to eliminate that variable. Also if you don't have a manua...

That's a pretty solid looking Yamaha. I would say it would be a very easy flip if that is your intention, or another nice rider either way.

Yes I do. Have to pick up a crank from Jerome.

We will be swinging through Batxer Mn also. Not sure if it will be on the trip down or the return. Just another option if someone knows a place.

Being a fan conversion I would lean more towards a scorpion motor. They came from the factory with f/a conversions in 71. I don't know if any other manufactures cut down fans into free airs but scorpion did. Can you post a pic of the intakes?

If it is a free air it wont be from a Deere, most likely a scorpion. Pics would help in identifying it.

I believe that means the person you sent them to has not read them yet.

I have to say I agree with the chassis choice. The sled I have done most of my riding on was a 77 440LF, it is a ditch/ cc machine. The amount of abuse that machine took even after it was 30 years old was ungodly. I have not raced much outside of the 100miler single cylinders, but if you had to choo...

In my experience if a dog likes to kill it is very hard to stop them. If you don't want to lose anymore cats you can return the dog, I think some places will even refund the money or let you exchange the dog.

I was looking in my fine tune manual and stumbled across these measurements.

80-83 liquifires
102c 11.88" +/- .030"
TR 800 11.88" +/- .030"

According to my fine tune manual the liquifire was 44 degree straight ramp and the sportfire was a compound 32-48 degree.

I am glad that you posted an update from this Spring. I have gone the whole summer confused. I thought you were just stacking firewood in random shapes. The end result is beautiful. The only problem I see is that the door is not big enough for sleds in the Winter. We actually had that discussion at...

I think I need to start looking for stuff out west. Great find
