NO experience at all with old sleds such as this, but for 200 bucks, may be a fun restoration project

Anyone know any good/bad things to look out for?

The internal gas tank apparently is no good, and may have been removed. Is this a big deal?

Definitely if you want to try working on/restoring vintage sleds, but I thought Kawasaki made the Sno-Jet? Either way, if you find its to much work to restore it, but runs, you could drive it when theres little snow on the ground and need to get that itch off your back for a while ;)!
 
shit, you may be right...i didnt recall a yamaha snow jet either, but again Im no expert.

It was blue...lol, gave him benefit of doubt

Google seems to agree about kawasaki....:( oh well
 
Sno Jet were independent from any of the big manufacturers until '76 (I think) when Kaw bought them. Before that I believe they were a subsidiary of Glastron Boats. In the early years they used Yam and Hirth engines, but were running mostly Yam by the time Kaw bought them.

The last year you could get a 793 Hirth was 1971. The 72 and up Thunderjets had Yamaha engines, and so were the production sleds, up untill Kawasaki bought them.
