I just got this sled givin to me. I kno its a enticer 340 deluxe cuz it says it on the side. theres 1025 miles on it in good shape except for the seat and little rust you cant even see unless you look under it. This is my rirst sled i inspected everything and everthing works but i took off the head and both pistons have pieces broken off them. the cylinders look fine. i dont know wat year it is or how to tell so i can get parts. Would any year 340 enticer pistons work? and wats a good place to get them. i tryed mfgsupply.com. I want suggestion for quality and a descent price.im looking for engine specs horsepower/torque/compression psi/.........
thanks for your help

I also have one, not sure of the year?
I also have an Enticer 340 Deluxe that I suspect (but not sure) is between 81 - 85 with a tunnel number beginning 8J4-021*** and an engine number E338-******. Also trying to identify the year to help when ordering parts.

I would buy OEM piston kits from a Yamaha dealer. If you bring in the VIN number from off of the side of the tunnel the dealer will be able to give you the info. I know lots of guys here will also have the correct info.

do yourself a favor and put a new carb boot and crank seals in it while you are at it. have one it the shed right now and rest of the motor is fresh but the crank seals are gone so it runs crappy without choke on.

The tunnel number is on the starboard (right side) stamped into the alunimum about where your ankle would be located is sitting on the sled.
It should read something like 80R-123456
The last six digets on the engine number would probably be the same as the last six on the tunnel number if it is the original engine.
On my Enticer 340 Deluxe the engine number is not far off from your's. It is:
E338-021***.
How did you determine the year of your's? When I contacted Yamaha techincal support they were unable to go back that far to decode the tunnel number to determine the year of mfg.

How far different is your tunnel number?
If you get a chance to take a look at the tunnel number, mine is 8J4-021***,
how far off is yours from mine? That will help pin the year down some more.
Thanks,
Tom

The 8J4 is "79" and the 8G8 is "78". If you need parts I can help you out.

There is also someone selling NOS pistons on ebay I believe. These would be stock pistons for that sled. You need to measure the cylinders to make sure they haven't been bored or need it now. You need to get the pistons that match.

It's a 1979 model
Spoke again with Yamaha Customer Service and they confirmed it's a 1979 model.

how will we both be sure that either one of us will send the item (piston/money)? and how much.
