Thanks for the update. I was wondering how things were lookin. Forecast for St Germain says 40 and rain on wednesday. That'll do it in..... Too bad cause Saturday is supposed to have 27 with snow flurries... Nice conditions to ride in!

I like the backup recoils idea. LOL

Sounds nice Joe. Glad to see I'm not the only guy that believes in Snow tires. Winterforce baby!

Joe, no probs.... GPS aren't perfect. I had mine turned on, but couldn't pinpoint the location on the GPS.... So was just using it as a roving map..... As for the manual, my Dodge Cummins is a manual... So yah, if your's shifts better than a dodge 5 speed (which isn't much of an accomplishment. :bon...

Oh, and second thing Joe, I believe it was Cari Deerest's GPS that got us lost... I for one wasn't too impressed with heading down a road that had not been plowed all winter... Which is why I was the last in the group to turn down it. LOL. Funny that a my 2wd truck and Kenny's were the only ones not...

I won't be able to make it Friday night. But I'll try and be sure to be on time Saturday morning. Hopefully the "trailer of shame" is not too full this year. Joe, do you have a driver for your truck? I may be able to find a friend to run my truck if you want me to drive your rig.... I can ...

You can't go wrong with Scott's CDI's. They're bomb-proof.

I'll be there again this year running support... Anybody wanna join me? LOL It was a marvelous fiasco last year! LOL (Kenny remembers. )

I had an idler come apart on my 77.... Left me shopping for a track.

Don't do it....

Don't forget Rich (TakeIttoTheLimit) and Angie (never got her last name.... Her hubby was riding in the VC)

And the epilogue says that his project finished the ride in a trailer.......

Well, The Vintage Challenge was surely a Challenge this year! I'm just not sure who it was more of a challenge for: The riders, or the support vehicles! :) After the wonderful GPS units and lack of knowledge of the terrain, we ended up "going sightseeing" down some private road where poor ...

I noticed that the needles are already dropped a notch.. So we'll see how that works out...... Gotta get some daylight to go play in......

Hey guys.... In order to get a second lease on this snowmobiling season, I threw a spare 340 Liquifire CCW into my 78 440 L-fire......But, here is my question. This baby is still geared and clutched as a 440? Other than being a dog off the line, it seems to run ok. BUT, will it hurt anything running...

If it was clutching, I'd think it'd be screamin but not moving..... Or is this what you're trying to tell us it's doing?

Well, I did start on a compression test... Mag said had it's usual 100 psi on it like normal..... Pto side had nothing for the first pull and then clunk........

I may just have to pull the head to satisfy my curiosity......
