What size motor? I'm thinking not seeing it and in good shape no rips in seat or track about $1,000+ now for a 15 year old sled. You can check prices on the c/list as well to get a ball park.

[smurfy]

yea leech, bet that info would help!!!!!!!!! lol. it a 440 cc motor.

 

 

Kdd, after I posted this I googled it and that came up. not impressed with there suggested price. this sled has been taken care of. just hasn't been started in a while. with my wifes health issues she has no desire to ride sleds no more. kinda stinks getting old!!!!!!!!

by the way thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!

[delcecchi]

to state the obvious, you need to start it up and run it, so you can truthfully say it runs well.   Then look at Craig's around the state and see what sleds are going for.  On a trailer so you could deliver it? 

Remember transactions like this are a cash kind of deal unless you really trust the guy. 

[smurfy]

DEL......I said its in good shape! and I will  start it when I get a chance but I can assure you it does run well.!

[leechlake]

if it doesn't start or run well then I just don't know what to tell you...the fact that it isn't in good shape doesn't help either....

I also said it IS in good shape!!!!!!!! and it WILL  run good. just need snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe try a new plug... if you can get her running I'd buy it if you take 3rd party checks?

IF ya get it, pull those plugs, spray the cylinders good with WD-40 or fogging oil, flush fuel lines, drain ANY gas/oil in it, spray carb throats with some cleaner, and SLOWLY pull it over 4-5 times before ya really yank her to start it. Get it going, dump some Seafoam in that 1/4 tank of fresh non-oxy gas with the good 2 cycle air-cooled oil you just put in it....and let it run awhile before ya start revving it up..

[leechlake]

that's all well and good Reb but if he didn't Summerize it last year it won't do any good.  The fetzer valves obviously got bent when he unhooked the odometer three years ago.  She did win a few of those Summer water skipping contests in Hayward a few years ago.  Took her a few dunkings to get the hang of it but after a while she was pretty dang good if i remember right.

let me have time. I want to grease it. I also want snow to run it to make sure all is good. but yea that can work.

 

reb,  I pull fogging oil in it, the gas was siphoned out each spring AND I have run nothing but non oxy juice in it for years!!!!!!!

 yea if you meet my wife i'm sure you'd think she did water jumping!!!!!! she walks with a cane!

by Spring are we talking June 18th or March 24th?  A lot can happen to Oxygenated gas in three months and that's probably why you can't get it running.

[RebelSS]

O cripes, was that the Women's Haul-azz contest, where the person that formerly owned it, AKA known as "Bodacious Bertha", came of the water so hard, with so much momentum, she continued up the beach, and clean thru the side of the Polecat Inn, smashing into the stage where Snakey Jake and the Squat-thrust Five was setting up?! I heard about THAT!

Ya, I bet those slides and bearings are toast, not to mention the the pistons in those scored cans. (No, not hers) Might be a major rebuild..,,,,,,,

I saw that coming...sorry.  I'm sure they have multiple divisions that accomodate everyone.  I have a buddy with one leg and he drives a snowmobile like a maniac, he had one with a nitro button...no kidding.

I have a 2002 Arctic Cat Sabre Cat with 300 miles on it, no kidding.  Electric Start, reverse, and I drive it to the fish house and back about a mile each way ten times a year.  It's like the old lady that only drives to church that has a twenty year old buick with 13,000 miles on it.

btw-it doesn't start right now cause I forgot to start it once a month this Summer like my mechanic told me to. Lord knows opening the garage door at the cabin and turning the key would have been soooooo hard to do.

[RebelSS]

WHAT?!!  Smurfette owned it??! I thought he was BUYING ONE from someone!!!!!! I'm lost now!!!! Say, who's drinking on here...

Next you guys'll be telling me Smurfy flys in to his ice-fishing spot, too...

reb-  I thought that he was buying one too.  After reading over his OP he didn't indicate either way, so our mistake.

What I do know is the thing doesn't run  and he may come to our house and try to kill us. 

 

[leechlake]

this thread is turning very Box Fan on us in a hurry...

[RebelSS]

Ha! I'll put out the cat!!!!  

 

[smurfy]

man oh man!!!!!!!!! what I get myself into!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leech~~]

It seems that once Rebel and leechlake takeover a thread it's done!  May as well just dump the sled in the woods somewhere!

[leechlake]

leech-  best compliment ever!!!  Reb we're winners!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, we knew the thread was over from the beginning, it wasn't like the horrible person thread that Moose started that turned into 34 pages of mousing photos

[RebelSS]

And, I really DID think he WAS buying one. That's why I posted the engine advice. (been rebuilding them since about, oh, '72 or '73, back when I was racing...)  Hey, admit it, we did get you guys to smile, didn't we?  

That's what keeps me going/gets me thru some days. I'd trade places to be any one of ya, but some things I wouldn't wish on anyone.
