1968 skidoo 4 stroke engine swap
Переглядів 4,4 тис.11 місяців тому
Easy 4 stroke engine swap for vintage sleds, woods runner,ice fishing machine.
I've got a pair of 73 Polaris TXs. One's complete needs carbs cleaned, the others missing the motor. I'm considering a drop in like this, or cutting the front off and making a track sled out of it. All parts removed would be spares for the runner, of course.
I have another 68 I was thinking of making a snow dog possibly sounds like a good idea !
Excellent job. I've been seriously considering putting a belt drive Yamaha atv 4 strike motor in my yamaha vk540. That two stroke sucks gas way to much for putting down trapline trails. You've inspired me to give it a go. Thanks
Maybe you could have room for a V twin probably work nice Thanks
Is this an Olympic?
Yes 68
That thing looks embarrassing to ride lol
I have new sleds this is just something to putt around on she ain’t pretty
@Zippy1wood. well I sure hope you didn't vote for Kamala Harris
If I did it would be electric
@@Zippy1wood. 🤣🤣🤣
it sounds like a rototiller. Perfect for what you're doing
I’m going to put muffler on it to smooth it out it does sound like that 😂
I once took a 335 from a olyimpic and put it in a elan,it was awesome would still climb really good and flew along the trails
Sweet there fun sleds very tippy I’m 58 so like to putt around
How slow and fast does it go. I was think of doing this for a trapping rig.
Hi it will crawl along slow or fast enough you need to pay attention lol probably 30 ? I also trap have a great season
@Zippy1wood. that's great thankyou
I heard to drive a snowmobile on that sled that is nice convertion
How fast it goes
25?
I would like to see one these sleds predator engines i see one from red breeded garage channel it was 18 hp v twin he change out parts from motor kit online he got up 70 hp i wonder if that predator motor would fit in ski doo elan or olympique model
I think the steering shaft would be the issue with a twin there’s not much room
P R O M O S M 💥
I’ve been thinking of doing the very same thing on my 1970 12/3. My question is do you find the 420 to be more than powerful enough? I was thinking of going with the 212. Thanks.
Yes the 420 has plenty of power spins track taking off the smaller 212 will work I’m sure I’ve seen other people use 6 hp but the crank shaft may be only 3/4 not 1 inch so make sure you can get clutch for that size shaft
@@Zippy1wood.crankshaft diameter, I didn’t think of that. Thank you so much. For what it’s worth, I’m a NH resident too.
Beautiful swap! Planning to do similar with a 77 Yamaha GS 340. Would love to see a riding video!
Thanks! It was pretty easy should work on many makes. I will have a riding video out in a day or two
I love the accent....east coast stateside... Yeahi talk funny being from Canada... I like the bubble sleds, Ski Doo is my go too....great conversion ..probably makes it more useful as a work sled/ice fishing ect...
Ha Ha when I watched the video I said to my wife what’s with the accent do I talk like that 😂
Cool,,tnx,ill do it,,,faster than watching tis on youtube==tnx to the f'n,4 comercials to sit through,,,yikes,,,holyfuck,,,...😮geeezz!.wtf
There are many makers of the same clutch on Amazon black horse racing has one series 40 comet clutch 1 inch bore that will get you the right one
Ok,thanks. I use comet 780 clone clutch,price 150e/usd. It has expired after a year of use. Now I would buy a genuine Comet 780. I also have videos on my account. How wide is the variator belt?
I measured it looks 1 1/8 wide it’s original ski doo belt for the machine hope the clutch holds up for a couple yrs
What clutch you use?
There is not, the original gets in the way of handle bars and would blow straight at me check my other video out I explain how to install this engine thanks !
Is there a muffler on it?
No straight pipe through old exhaust hole thanks
