If you like the farm aspect of a sled - Massey sold single cylinder ski whizs as well. Ive had a few and theyre collectable / popular. Harder to find parts though

Brian - do you happen to know the correct size of the bearings for the driveshaft offhand?

That’s always been my pet peeve with spitfires is the snow flap being plain. Let me know how much you trim off

Nice! That’s the next project in our household too, my daughter is 10 and wants a sled to drive on her own, gonna pull out the 82 spitfire and go thru it later this summer.

Got it fully back together today, seems to run much better vs the Walbro or Bendix . Been researching this for a while and never got a definitive answer. You ARE able to keep the factory glove box. Once cowling was back on i added a cheap 2 1/4” ID silicone 90 and tilted it slightly up so no gas/oil...

Edit - ended up getting it, old bumper must have been tweaked so it took two people to almost bend it open to finally get it out. New one went on a bit better.

Does anyone have any tips on removing the front bumper on a pre 75 mid mount machine? On my 400 was going to replace the bumper with a better one, have removed the 8 bolts but it’s so tight I don’t think I can remove it. Almost looks like the gas tank has to come out and the whole front steering fra...

Just to close the loop if anyone runs into this in the future the clutch took the 217336A (5/8″-18 UNF) puller.

Tried the larger pilot jet and got it to idle somewhat decent with .75 to 1 turn out.

Had some time to mess with it quick tonight - screwed the pilot screw to lightly seated and it runs great and will idle forever(previously had the screw out 1.5 turns)

Do I need to get a larger jet? Ie a #30?

Thanks I’ll give it a try tonight and report back

I’m pretty sure the LX just got the oil injection and the bigger windshield. Electric start was always just an option.

Update - bit the bullet and picked up a new Mikuni carb . Installed it today runs great everywhere but idle. Settled on a 210 main and 25 pilot. Will idle great for a few seconds then slowly dies.

Finally together - was waiting on a bunch of stainless hardware for the shocks and skis. Was having idle problems but nailed it down to something wrong with the original carb ended up putting a Trailfire 340 carb in with all the Trailfire internals. Overall running good so far. All that’s really lef...
