...and now I need some help. I got it for free because it had been sitting in my friends garage for a couple of years taking up space that he wanted. So I empied out the old gas put some new in, primed it a couple of times and it started right up, runs like a champ.
But as with anything free it has some problems. It has been siting for some time and the track doesn't look to be in the best shape, it is missing almost all the guide clips on the right side, but they all look to be there on the left side. A couple of the wheels the track rides on need to be replaced, so where can I find parts for this sled? I don't want to go overboard, it is a old sled after all and I don't want to put more than a couple hundred into it, but I don't want it to leave me stranded either.
Also it there any easy way to get more power out of this engine more than just a pipe, or port & polish? I read that Yamaha made a 480 that was almost the same as this engine, could I swap cranks and make it a "stroker" or something of the sort.
And one more thing anyone know where I can gat a service manual for this? I think it is an 87. Thanks
