It took 3 years for a guy in our club to make it the whole day on our annual vintage ride on a raider. So many things to possibly go wrong. He finally threw everything at it and tore it completely down. The next year he finally pulled it off making it back under its own power. It hasn't been back on the trail since and that was probably 10 years ago. I think once he conquered it he was also sick of that thing.
Yeah just the carb alone is enough to make someone go crazy haha
Your the man 4 the job!!
makes a great youtube video though, viewers love watching the successes, failures, and fixes of a long trip like that. It creates suspense, will they make it home before dark or some set deadline, etc etc.
When I was a young boy, these 70’s sleds where new. I remember my dad saying “ ride for a day, and work on them for a week”. I haven’t owned sleds myself since the 90’s. My dads comments seemed to hold true. I think the new sleds are a lot better. But, as I’ve gotten older I don’t like the cold anymore. LOL
Because after he got it running good, he realized that the thing just does not handle very good because you can't use your body to help make it turn because you're sitting on your ass. Need to use body english to help turn a snowmobile like a motorcycle.
That snowmobile looks like a snowmobile from the Star wars series
Vinny is literally like my ex supervisor at the mechanic shop I worked for. He was an ASE Gold certified mechanic and a legend. He would walk out in the shop and listen to the vehicle for a couple seconds and say ok do this and this and it'll be fixed. I would do it and it would be fixed. He kept all us apprenticing mechanics in constant aww.
That is something I learnt to do (been awhile since I have done it tho so rather rusty) but it does come with experience, going by the sound the engine (moving parts are working perfectly fine) somit is either running too rich and bogging itself out ( he did point out fuel was coming out of the carb when not running) or like the part that failed it could be something to do with its drivetrain that is causing it to stall
Reminds me of my older brother. I was doing the timing on my 70 Ford F100 (300ci straight 6) caps, points, plugs wires, and belts. I was so smart I even bought a timing light. He gave me a side glance and turned the distributor until his ear told him it was perfect.
I’ll never get a snowmobile that’s for sure. Fishing I was never any good. So this was a nonprofit adventure all the way around . Bummer!
Haha
Love the channel. Working on a snowmobile in the middle of a field in the cold and snow - first time ever. Congrats on 295k subs, hopefully, they tell two friends. Motorcycles, hovercraft, snowmobiles great variety. Oh, there is Charlie - the flip flop wearing wheely-popping brother.
Always carry a squirt bottle of two-stroke mix for those cold morning starts!!!!
Good to see you out doing other things than fixing bikes and stuff Joe
Glad I made it to your channel, Joe! Really enjoying it. Thanks
After watching quite a few of your You tube videos I have to say, Joe your skills as a mechanic are truly Impeccable! A lot of people don't realize that it really takes a lot of talent and experience to resurrect as well as maintain these older machines. The worst part is when you're chasing down parts that they no longer make! Trying to make replacement parts from scratch is a true art. Not many people can do that. Best of luck on getting the Raider fixed. It really is an awesome machine even though it can really try your patience sometimes. Keep up the good work on those videos!
Hey man I really enjoyed the Vintage sled I like to see you do something with both of them bikes from your grandfather hard to find them old bikes around my area
After you set the float with feeler gauge and assembled your carb you can check the needle valve blowoff pressure should take between 12 and 15 lb before the needle seat releases, need to get good gaskets for your chain case should have about a half a quart of oil in there to keep the chain lubricated it probably sit around for years and the oil drained away.
I wonder if you went through the fuel tank, and cleaned out the fuel lines from the tank to the carb, and actually cleaned the carb in an ultrasonic cleaner with all the jets out, if that would help solve your running issue, broken chain issue aside
Check the tube that provides vacuum ie; fuel pulse. If it has cracks it will prevent the gas from pumping. The tensioner springs will be difficult to locate, you’ll be able to duplicate the bar.
Bury it with the hovercraft.
Hahaha good idea. It might come to that
Looks like you’ll have to build a bigger garage/workshop soon!! You’re starting to have quite the collection 😂😂
I think Jade will intervene when she can’t get to her car 😂 or Vinnie will tell on ya !
I have a buddy who has 2 of those for sale,1-34TT & 1-44TT. Their both running and in really nice shape. He's selling them on marketplace in Jefferson WI.
This was definitely a different video and I kind of enjoyed it cuz it shows that you do enjoy riding your machines as well as fixing them
somtimes the condensers will ack up on the snownobile motors or maybe the bottom end seals or even base gaskets will let air in maybe try a leak down test and there are set screws to turn in and out that might get rid of that bog --good luck and great video -
Hey Joe, Thank you for another great video!! I enjoy all of your content, Have you ever thought about looking for a sears and robuck motor cycle, I used to have one when I was a teenager, dont remember what ever happend to it but it was a fun bike!!
Yeah I actually almost bought one a few years ago. The guy was asking too much for it though and wouldn't come down on price.
26:27, I couldn’t help but laugh, “are you kidding me?” “That really going to be in the way?” “Better not be, I’m gonna be really mad if thats in the way” bout lost it there 😂, absolutely beautiful content, keep it up man, glad you got the cover off 😆
you certainly embrace winter in your town!, i couldn't hack thatbweather would drive me nuts
I couldn’t stand 100*+ days for months at a time, so I moved north and embraced the cold. At least people are setup to do something other than sitting inside and waiting for warmer weather and water rationing.
I'm so glad to finally see you and your brothers again. I miss seeing you guys hang out.
Let the force be with you Joe you can fix it
You had a plow on your quad . A smart man would fill the crack in the ice with snow using his plow 👍👍
It's always a crap shoot when you buy older machines. You have the ability to make these repairs. Thanks for your time today.
32:00 I’d take the 50k, I’m 25k in debt.
I would put a slide valve carburetor on that. Those old diaphragm carbs and junk . Mikuni is what you want it will be like night and day . Good luck with it bud love your channel man
Tried to fix it up but wound up damaging it more! LOL! Story of my life! Love your wisdom.
Love the video keeps up the great video and tell Vinny that he is a great little help
Didn't know Joe had 2 brothers
Good to see you doing other things & enjoying yourself I know you's never won a prize but nice to spend a bit quality time with your brother's fishing can be really fun & doing ice fishing is something I'd like to try hopefully you get the pacer snowmobile fixed it does look a cool vintage snow mobile and ceo of operations vinny will diagnose any problems you & vinny have a smashing evening & a great start to the week joe mate 👊💨
I miss Wisconsin. I do not miss winter at all. I grew up there and went ice fishing once in my life. Then I went with people but would watch from the tavern..😊
Just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for making these videos for your subscribers ( which I am 1 of them lol ) but more so for the added detail step by step repairing your goodies. I don't know if you know it or not but your a great teacher and for the first time in my life I had the balls to dive into my daughter's atv which has been sitting dead due to the cost a shop wanted to fix it. I was successful in getting it going and to see my daughter smile ear to ear made it all worth while so thank you again from both of us.
What a nightmare joe vinny sacked it from the get go lol at least you will be able to fix it once you have parts they are all good when running but when there not we just want to torch them lol defo got to have patience and walk away sometimes or it would drive you insane great video mate didn’t know you had a 3rd brother great too see you all having a day out enjoying a bit of fishing take care and stay warm looks freezing man 🔧🔧🔧👍👌☃️☃️
I love your videos bro but one thing I'd like to see more of is.....
YOU! You're a cool dude and you seem a little (idk the word, it's not embarrassed but something short of that) to be on cam.
But honestly either way I'd keep watching your videos bc I find them interesting and I like your story you've told over the years. Much love brotha from Greensboro, NC, Your bud and avid viewer, Talley.
Having fun trump's it all Great video definitely enjoyed it 💯💯💪
Vinnie’s like “You not dragging me into that grease pit 😅you on your own Joe 😂
Enjoying the Video Joe!
My God… You have the patience of a Saint!!!! Lol
I would make sure your gas tank is venting properly. If not it will create a vacuum in the tank and stop fule flow after a couple minutes of running, then it could run fine just a few minutes later .
But you had some quality time with your bros👍
A twin carburetor will be fine on it like those ski roule mono carburetor crap, A twin mikuni with dual combine gaz feeder with dual air filter and new coils and spike plug
and of course adjusting and cleaning the clutch will certainly help it a very unique sled you got here thanks for the video.
Nice to see 2Vintage is not all work and no play. 296k subs 👍 Ice fishing, takes too long to chop a hole for the pontoon
Dude I like the way the video started out. No words. It was like a whole other style mixed in with the classics 2v. Ps. Be careful. I’d like too see more like that. Thanks man
GOOD ONE
Hey Joe....gotta say i am a big fan of your channel and skills as a mechanic.You remind me of me when i loved to tinker and repair things as a younger man.Im 64 now....and please stop showing snow if you can help it.Im here in NW Indiana and so far we've been blessed as far as the white stuff goes.It was once fun to play in the wet white stuff and cold weather.Now and i know i speak for many........SNOW SUCKS......Thanks
Try hitting the crank saft behind clutch with starting fluid while the engine is running and see if engine picks up in rpm. Could have a crank seal out. 2 strokes rely on a sealed crank case for fuel transfer throughout the engine
If the carb continues to get that dirty the only place its coming from is the fuel/fuel tank. Might need a deep cleaning. Great video and content, I'm hooked!
Just use the choke Joe, how many times you have to be told 😂
I grew up working on 1970s snowmobiles , those pumps on those carbs are interchangeable but they do have different flow characteristics there's a trick to making them work
Oh, how I remember the good ol days...
Shiiiit 🤦🏽!!!
Sucker needs like a 580 swap or something. Such a cool machine to have just sitting. Like you said
Buy it break it fix it
👋
Old snowmobiles are the worst to keep running. When new they weren’t much better. They make great content, but they will be a pain in your butt while you have them. BTW, I love your videos!!
It's called A track guide tensioner.
I use a sonic cleaner carbs come out like New love it.
I really enjoy your content. Its nice to see all the different machines and not just one type of bike or 4 wheel. Keep it going joe, you have a great channel. BTW.... its called "fishing" not "catching" for a reason 😉
Taxes I would take cash over truck both ways u pay but getting cash it will feel like less good luck.
What a pile of crap. I bet that guy was happy to see it go. 😅
I'm in Australia and ice fishing isn't a thing here but looks like awesome fun something I'd love to experience
forget that carb and put a MIKAUNI ON IT
Maybe it is a FUEL ⛽ 🔥 curse and you keep playing with fire you will get burned. Keep up the good work seriously love the episodes.
Working on things in the snow makes the task so much harder, me i'd of looked at it and say gonna have to fix that this spring lol.
In another 35 years you going to be Pete from just a few acres farm. That’s a good thing!
I would just ditch the oem carb and keep it. The slide carb would be so much smoother
It’s too bad the manufacturer mounted that engine the way they did.(tilted) If it was more level you could do away with that Walbro carb and put on a Mikuni carb and solve the problem.
Really enjoyed this one mixing it up a bit 👍
Johnson boat outboards from the 90's had a super simple design for their carbs. I'd find one of those n retrofit it.
Love the content
It'll help you out big time in cold conditions a lot better to.
Do you prefer brake cleaner vs carb cleaner?
I had the 44tt and that sled would pass every other sled that was a 440 cc , no matter what brand , I loved that sled and wish I would never have gotten rid of it, your sled is way better body wise than mine, wish that one , I owned, lol
Love the fishing content also Joe! 😎
Hell ya dude love the fishin awesome job love the channel love to see some huntin action on your land !
just put a pwk carb on it lol
Good luck finding parts/tracks for that.
Hopefully you can find some parts or have some made for the Raider. I would love to drive that around if it was to the point of being reliable.
They are he got sold junk
The fishing was cool 😉
Is the spring broken that goes into that tensioner itself Joe. Sometimes they can snap the springs into.,or the chain that drives the unit due to A dried up.,or locked up bearing to. That was going bad underneath on it.
I would put a mukini carb on that or a float style tillson carb on that sled warbro carbs I through in the dump
At least you still got good old Vinnie!
Different does not Always mean cool.
When they have been sitting a while it's best to squirt some fuel in the cylinders or carb.
I’m starting to wonder if that guy who sold it to you was a little too nice 🤣😂 like you said he was extremely knowledgeable so there is a good chance he knew something wasn’t right there is a reason it was one of the last he had to sell. While it’s not an exorbitant amount of money for $5k and a very long drive I would have to insist on a test drive or ask him to ride it in front of you the fact he didn’t mention it makes me think that he only needed to get it started
Joe I'm going to give you some advice , when you own those raiders the best thing you can do is take the drive system apart and figure out how it works .
I thought I was having a hard time finding deals on used machines on marketplace, then I realized we probably have the exact same search area
Dude you left us hanging on the hovercraft ??
That's what I fish for Walleye and Yellow Perch on Lake Erie.
Some things just weren't ment to be. If tgat TT was any good there would be thousands of them.
The ultrasonic tank would be best to clean that carb.
Why does the raider not run with an air filter?....is it possible to swap the carb out to like a mikuni to help with reliability and easier maintenance? Great video! Too bad yall didnt win anything, but at least ya got to spend some time with your brothers! God bless you my friend!
If you make bracket off intake where carb mounts so carb sits level when installed will solve your problem more level the better same therie as a two stroke sled with twin carbs they need to be straite up and down cool machine
Joe's right leg in worn out he's trying other vehicles while he is waiting for a knee transplant
That’s the way the old sleds were. Work on them all week so you can ride at least one weekend day.
Crank shaft seals,test with break clean.
Honestly that carburetor looks pretty dirty inside I take some Scotch-Brite clean up the inside the best I could make everything nice and shiny so the next time I took it apart if there's any debris in there I know it's dirty there was some sand in there so you probably got sand in small orifices just a thought and put an inline filter before the carburetor so anything in the tank will get caught by the filter hopefully you won't have that problem again
Ultra sonic cleaning bath is the way to clean that carb, not brake cleaner. Pull the tank. Looks like a summer project complete tear down.
I think the first thing I would have done was put the Elec art on so you're not killing yourself pulling it. Second when you find a problem with a carb part ALWAYS replace it I think your needle is sticking. you should have just replcaed it .
Great content 👌 Joe , boy it sure seems 🤔 old sleds always need attention in some forms or another !!! Another awesome video 👍
Yeah always working on them!
