Re: 295/s top end fix.

Been working on this again. Picked up a new hewtech and a set of coils. Runs clean to 8200 or so, but still seems to stall out at about 35-40mph. So tonight I gave up an cleaned up the worn 295 jugs/pistons and put them back on. They are worn, but in my experience not enough that it shouldn't run go...

295/s throttle cable

Anyone have a source for these? Aftermarket? Got a nice snow last night and dug it out to take the wife for a ride through the woods, and throttle cable is boned.

Thanks, Kurt.

Re: 295/s top end fix.

I had a little time to tinker with it the other day, before I started it seemed run about 7500, and act like it was on a revlimiter. It wouldn't start to shift out at all, and it would sit at like 30mph or so. I ended up cleaning the points, and closed the point gap down to about .009", Improve...

Re: 295/s top end fix.

dead thread revival. I've been running it like this way for a while. Not a ton of time, but decent amount. Have not fouled a plug yet - running a points ignition. Anyway it hasn't been running very well. Acts like it has a 7500RPM rev limiter on it. I suspect its the points bouncing, or something el...

Re: 295/S misc parts

Year later, but thanks guys. Don't think I'll ever "restore" it, but I enjoy fixing stuff on it and making it "better" Took it on a 10mi ride sunday 2up with my wife. Her first sled ride ever, and we had over 12" of power, what shitshow. lol.

Re: Jdx8 help!

I would focus your efforts on the carb. As long as the ignition coils, exciter coils, points, and condensor are in good shape, there is no real reason the points won't work on a well tuned engine. For example I've been running a points setup on my 295/s for years with no real issue. Everyone here sa...

Wiring Connectors

Hi guys, Over the summer I built a custom wire harness for my racecar, and ended up sourcing some connectors that are used on JD sleds. I have both sides of the 6 pin connector on the engine in the mid mount sleds. I think I also have the 3 pin that is on the tail light. Inquire with needs, I'm able...

295/S misc parts

Hey guys, been slowly but surely fixing up my old 295/s. Not restoring it, just making it nicer. I've had it around 15yrs and it's never been all together. Anyway have a few questions. 1. On the engine cowling, what badge is supposed to be there like is on the other mid mount sleds? Is it the one wi...

Re: 295/s speedo drive

Well, Neither of them are 10:1. Turns out I had one from a 72 400 on it, and it's about 1.6:1 ratio. The correct one is 1.4:1 ratio. Also the drives for the front motor sleds turn backwards from the mid mounts. I found the original one to the sled, and was able to save it. It had a cable rusted off ...
