Love all your vids,faithful watcher. I was 7 yrs old in 1985 and inherited my nanas 76 elan w/the three penguins on the side. I could barely ride it lol. A faithful elan owner to this day👍
makes me miss the good ole days we had a few sleds artic cat panther 440 and later a scorpion 440 whip that was back in the day when 440s were about as big as it got the scorpion was scary fast we think it was likely modded by the previous owner I would love to get back into riding but here in southern MO its rare to get very much snow to ride anymore so far this year we have not had much more than an ice storm that melted by noon
On fuel priming I have used an air hose and a rag to push the fuel up. Lucas oil colors their oil. I also use a diesel fuel can for my mix fuel. Carbon fiber is really abrasive and will chew up the bearings. Cool vid thanks.
Stihl 2 stroke oil is colored blue...one thing I like about using that stuff for all my doodads like trimmers, saws and snowmobile, no problem ID 'ing the right can lol
Love the old élan seems like yesterday I stumbled on your vid when you first modded it. Hear you on the ski doo dealer must be a prerequisite to have a dealership my local dealer is also a suzuki dealer been there twice once to buy a modular helmet when they came out back in the day and to do some work on my Suzuki wheeler I (dealer only parts at the time)had between the two times being in there I dropped about 1500 and was treated like I was bothering them
D hey I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I like them but a quick question where do you get a seat like that I have a 2002 Mountain Cat 800 that I love to put one of these seats on thanks in advance
awesome siphon thing. searched ur vids found out its a safety siphon. quick question, does it drain those jerry cans faster then the bad yellow spout it comes with? also, i live in ontario, where can i get it
You should paint the carbon fiber hood a nice orange, it would be sweet contrast to the windshield and intake fan and it would look awesome in conjunction with the suspension/ skid
we just got with 12 inches thursday night, had tons of fun yesterday breaking in my new top end, but it was going slow at the end which got me scared, i limped it to the house and checked it over...it was out of gas lol
PowerModz I like how you made it look like a new sled I have to say you build some of the best snowmobiles I like the 540 Yamaha exciter you built is it the same 540 one this skidoo elan
Love the workshop, my workshop is set out the same. My wife calls it messy and she would like to tidy it up? Love my wife, but stay out of my workshop......

"don't like to go to them, they aren't very nice." very true statement
Love the 'cat' reaction when the beast started, hahah, start > cat gone....:)

most dirt bike 2 stroke oils are either red or blue in color if it is that big of a deal to you and it is basically the same oil
crazy but very cool
looooove that freeride green rev!
Hey Louis I just use the same oil I used to put in my injection system to premix it is colored polaris oil
That's a true Skidoo guy. Willing to part a modded XLT to save an Elan.

If you buy chainsaw mix oil its usually coloured and sled mix oil is clear usually but the colour is nice to see the potency of oil
365 ib holly shit that's light as hell
i live in sudbury Ontario! do you live close to there or did you just order that tank online?
lol you should invest on a mixing cup
this is cool man!!! do you have any suggestions on installing a turbo into a cheetah 440 2 speed ? XDDD
You should paint the carbon fiber hood a nice orange, it would be sweet contrast to the windshield and intake fan and it would look awesome in conjunction with the suspension/ skid
I Like that idea - I just might doo that.

I have no idea if this will affect your engine, but maybe a drop or two of food coloring in the gas or oil?
