That turned out to be a beautiful sled after you put the work into it. Last year, I bought a pair of 90's Ski-Doo's for me and my kids to bomb around on at our farm fields and woods. It's been many years for me since I've been on a snowmobile. My kids and grandchildren all ride my ATV's, but they've never been on a sled until last winter. The laughing, screaming, and smiles made the purchase well worth it! I have a green 96' Touring E and a maroon 99' Formula DLX. Both have the simple yet reliable 380 Rotax fan engines. The sleds were in pretty good shape for their age, but like you, I had to make them nice again. I replaced anything that was missing or broken. Even if it was just cosmetic. A windshield and gas cap with a working gas guage on one, and a bumper, mirrors, and missing hood screens on the other. Thanks for the interesting video!
Great Work. You're right, you can hear the clutch knock....😖 Are you going to disassemble the old engine? I'd be curious to see the crankshaft turning on a set of "V" blocks. Wondering if they dumped fuel down the cylinder to start it & it hydro-locked. -Hoss

If I'm bored at some point I'll pull the old motor apart and have a look. I too am curious to look at that crank!
