That's Great. Got my ET250 new in 1978. I was in 8th grade and it was an amazing improvement over the 1975 sm292 that I had before that with the bogie suspension and the standup riding position. I thought it rode like a Cadillac at the time. Cost $995.00 brand new. Traded it in a couple years. I have a 1980 barnfind now that I have brought to good runing condition. I wish I knew then what I know now about making them run harder. I love making the little sled have just a little bit more than you would expect.
