These sleds are amazing. A single carbed, fan cooled monster of an engine. I still don't know how these made so much power season after season. Just a basic snowmobile. We beat that sled to death and it NEVER gave up. I think my friend still has it after 30 years...
You don’t want to use carb cleaner on gaskets or rubber. It degrades it. Nice video man!😊
Nice job I just love the looks of theses old skidoos
You need a in tank valued filter ,the green more expensive gas line ,you need to put grommet in first before anything goes it threw
Hey, nicely done on the sled. Like your no quit attitude on figuring out solutions to the many problems. Enjoy the vintage sled.
Great find!! Those 503 engines are awesome!! 😎👍
I owned a 1980 Moto-Ski Futura LC which was the same as an Everest LC with the 462 cc rotary valved liquid version of this one. I always thought it had a cool look about it and the LC was pretty fast.
You will love that 503
Nice save on the old girl!! Should be fun!
Nice find. I got a 1981 Everest 500 I bought for 50 bucks 8 years ago and I use it for ice fishing or bombing through the fields with. Very reliable engine on them
You got a real and a half man wow great find...👍👍👍👍👍 Keep those sleds off the ground and under cover man!
Nice everest we had a lot of skidoo and motoski snowmobiles of that Ara and loved every one of them.
Fun little sled. Store it well off season now. Green lantern gas baby! Thanks so much for the carb clean part and Fuel filter and rest, I have to do all that for my 1985 Artic Cat Panther. Very helpful! I'm on Day 5 of zee bug. Mines pull start only but oil injected and fan cooled not air cooled like the Pantera Artic Cat. Has hand warmers! ooh lah, lah! How are your disk break adjust? I have to sort that out on mine. No breaks. My coworker says, "Why do you need breaks on a snowmobile?". terrific video guy!
Excellent!... I've been working on those things since the 60's. Retired now and looking for a project sled....but can never find a deal like that!
My dad bought a 69 Olympic when I was very young. It was broke more than it ran so I learned a lot of mechanical skills as a kid. It's hard to believe the evolution that took place over that 10 year span. I'm looking for one too but we don't get winter like we used to where I live. Good luck finding a deal like this one!
God I love those skidoos with the primers… once I had a primer Inalways HATED chokes lol
Excellent video! I actually have one too, 1981 Everest 500 electro. Still runs great and requires little maintenance. Sometimes we don't get enough snow every year, so even sitting for 2-3 years at a time, I can put fresh gas in and it starts right up. These things are beasts. Your idle still sounds a little high, (compared to mine) either that or the fuel/air mixture might need tweaked a bit yet. But looks like it's running well for you and great to see another one out there. Enjoy!
Nice job troubleshooting that old girl!
Old sled,, is in excellent shape,,keep old girl,,it's worth your money
That original fuel filter acts as a weight as well. That keeps it on the bottom
You should always take the belt off when working on a sled. Less resistance with it off
33:56 Thank you...I got mine going last year (1980 Mirage ll) but the fuel system is still not right...I thought that was a check valve coming out of the tank, but I never tried cleaning the blockage out. Thanks again! ( I have a video on my channel)
you have a future as a snowmobile mechanic in Northern Minnesota! He's like forget MN, I live in Maine!
Those are great old sleds. I owned a few back in the day and they can take alot of abuse. pre mix is the way to go with those 496cc fan cooled motors.
Young guy, nicely done!
Have you greased the skid?
Checked the bearings in the idler wheels and the wheels that tension the track?
Please, consider covering these machines. Just a tarp, something.
Had a 81 nice 👍
I used to have an Everest 440, but I think mine was a 74. Mine had issues, had a shop replace all the seals and gaskets and never got it completely back together before I had to sell it to move. Never got to ride it. But it came with a 76 panther 440, that one I got to ride😢
I have one of those sleds
Nice thing about Fan coolers, u don't need snow !
I'm working on a 1991 Ski Doo Mach 1
When it kicks in? 11:30.
Also, wow. I just bought a minivan and it's got these kind of Wiley wiring issues. Working them out slowly but shirley.
Maine registered. Where abouts did you find that old Dozer? I still dig the sleds from that era because those are the ones I grew up with.
Id be interested to see how the fuel primer lines are connected. Mine has a primer, but the lines are all gone. Im not sure where they are meant to go?
The old 503 fan cooled engine. Make sure you do not run that with out the fan belt or it will go poof. Should be a 70mph sled.
The fuel pump is operated off the engine vacuum....
The engine must be sealed up in running position inorder to work.
Think of it as a closed circuit .
Future put either a bunch of nuts or rocks in ggv as in tank n slosh it in tank to clean crap out.
You had one in the field. Put new fuel lines in it.
How to space a space of lubricant on a recoil starter so it retracts cause this body ducks public rightful crude
Check air box before starting engine
Engine 503 ? Good motor
First step....fix the recoil starter!
Those nippendenso ignitions on those sleds are few and far between can't get them anywhere take care of it.
You know the carbs are plugged probably?? No guess not it started
i noticed maine tags on sled. you from maine??
You have to connect a battery directly
Missing a spring or two down on the pipe n header ! Juss sayn.
why does some of the exhaust pipe go back to the engine
If I'm not mistaken, that is the exhaust pipe for the engine fan cowl. Hot air blown over the engine exits through there out into the exhaust. The Everest seems to be one of the few sleds I can find with this type of setup
Did you buy that sled off a guy in Newport?
Recoil spring?
Fuel gage on side of tank tells you how much fuels in it, download a owners manual.
Id say you got a steal of a deal ull still ha e problems but it runs it drives it stops
Get a fuel filter for a weed eater. They act like a weight so it's always at the bottom of the tank
its weighted filter only or it has a some sort of valve in it !
Won't work with jumpers...too much resistance!
Wont' carbureat properly without airbox!
I'm not going to comment on this anymore, lol!!!
You don't even own a ratchet?....step away from the sled!
Take it easy buddy holy shit
