I just rode this sled last winter till the points needed to be cleaned. this winter the motor seems to have water in it. The recoil side cylinder keeps flooding out with a rusty colored water. The other cylinder is fine. What can i do to fix this problem?? I dont want to get into a rebuild this wint...

Now i'm at this problem. Now the motor floods out, with what smells like water... It does want to start,
and the water in the recoil side cylinder is rust colored. Now what is wrong with this thing?????

Thanks guys, I got my Johndeere started yesterday, It was a pain in my A*% getting the points set just
right. Now i have a carb problem, She is getting way to much gas, But this is a simple problem.

I also need a good shroud that goes over the motor for this sled if anyone has one here...

Ok, i know to open to widest point, now should i use a matchbook to do this with adjustment with?

One other question guys, When ajusting points, Do i adjust them while they are open, or closed??
I am getting so bummed out with this thing... I WANT TO RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy that sold me the johndeere told me the JD300 was a 1975 model. Actually, i traded my 1985
v-max 540 for this. The v-max needed a rebuild anyways.

I believe i read "79" on the tunnel.

Thanks guys, I tried the points , Cleaned them up, put it back together and now it ie sparking on the
recoil side, but now not on the clutch side. What is going on with this thing??? I even tried ajusting
both sets of points. Nice bright blue spark on the recoil side. Please help guys!!

this snow is great

Thanks for the quick response guys!!! Yes it does have a 340cc CCW motor. This motor does have
points??

I have a 1975 Johndeere JD300 with a 340cc F/C CCW Motor. I just bought a new external coil for this sled, because she lost spark last winter on the recoil starter side. I put the new coil on, and STILL NO SPARK!!!! Does anyone have any sudgestions???? Please help, would like to ride it before winte...
