Wanted: Comet 90D or Salsbury 780

Post by Curlymurt »

I've got a mismatched primary and secondary, so I'm hoping to make a matching pair one way or another. Let me know what you've got and how much!

Thanks guys!

DA, I might be near your area in the next couple of weeks... I'm not sure yet. I'm going to try to dial in this carb a bit then I'll figure out if I need it for sure. If I remember correctly, it didn't have much top speed with it's current setup. But yes, ultimately I do want the primary and secondary to match up.

Adam, Are you going to match up the secondary to the primary that's on the sled? Or vice versa? If I remember, you had a Comet 100C on the sled, so I assume you're looking for the 90D. Here's one I found just looking through Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Deere-Sno ... Sw-0xYbXfx

Probably needs to be rebuilt, but those parts are available, and might clean up pretty good. Not sure if the cap and bolt come with it, cause I don't see it in the photos.

Thanks for the link. Good to know that's a 90D... I wasn't sure which sleds had them.

I'm not sure which one I should match up... just something. I had the comet 102c. Does the 90D pair with it? I assume the secondary I currently have it for the Salsbury.

From pics on a previous topic, yes Adam has a Comet primary and a Salsbury secondary.

Adam, keep the Comet primary. I'm sure someone here can dig up the the 90D secondary for you and probably at a better price then that ebay listing.
