I just bought it last month for $3000.It had a seized topend so i pulled her apart and redid the topend and replaced one cylinder.Had it out for the first time last weekend.And shes running good.

Good buy on an easy fix. Looks in great shape

Its in really good shape.Only 2k on it.When i pulled it apart the piston on pto side had melted a bit and the wristpin bearings had seized up.It looked like the guy a bought it from was running purple gas in it.

did you shake the exhaust pipe, to see if there were any pieces in there. they can work there way back to the motor, just a heads up.

Purple gas? What is the opinion on running marked fuel in your sleds? A Yamaha dealer in BC has fuel pumps and they sell marked premium fuel.

Would the dye have any negative effects on the engine?

I don't think so. Had about 20 sleds running on it during a trip to Pemberton a couple of years ago, no issues related to fuel over two days.

Melted 2 chain saws and had snowmobile trouble burning farm purple...too low octane. Anything 2 stroke now I use premium. Saving a little on fuel does not come close to motor rebuilds

You can get 91 marked gas. I have ran it a few times no issues at all. I know a guy with a pump gas turbo m8 that what he runs and no issues.

Looks Good. I like that color combo. I have to do the top end on mine this off season...is it hard to do? I'm ok with cars but never pulled a sled apart.

no i redid mine shortly after christmas, not terribly hard, make sure you get the torque specs.

nice looking sled :d

Topend is easy to do once you get the engine out.The hardest part i found was getting the circlips back in to hold the wristpin.As for the torque specs i have them at work for the jugs and head.Or if your really good you can eyeball it.lol
