Re: 2024 Ride with the Champs recap.

Thanks Brian. The after action report still works just fine without snow. Not only that, you had time for some unhurried wrenching on a John Deere snowmobile while rocking the IH headgear. I might have been known to do the exact same thing a time or two but that cannot be confirmed since there's not...

Re: 1975 JD300

Beautiful.

If you're ever on Vintage Sleds, you might consider tendering that machine in the Find of the Year contest .

Re: 81 Liquifire Clutch won't engage under load

If crank seals aren't known to be fresh they're very likely in need of replacement. Don't dance with that devil. Staring fluid regimen is only as useful as pounding on a half empty fuel tank to determine the fuel level.

Re: Widening kit

Those things were bolted to the deck and you pretty much had to work hard to roll one over Joey Chitwood style. Not sure why it would be necessary to widen the ski stance.

I've seen perhaps two in the wild. The rest are always fours and eights.

Re: Impromptu nostalgia race

I have some handwritten notes from a racer back in the day. I can dig them out and peruse and see what's there. The notes are a couple notebook pages long and pretty much deal with all manner of tips and modifications that include engine work.

Re: 2023 Ride with the Champs!

I know. I was just messing around with the whole concept of your sled parked next to the prototype. Some day I'll actually get there to see that in the flesh.

Re: Liquidator Refresh

Different jets and or needle setting identification? Kawasaki Liquifire carbs are slightly different to accommodate the water transfer physics of the engine.
