hey guys my first sled was a 78 trail fire, then onto a 79 liquid fire the a 80. lol my child hood was spent in the garage with dad and his friends tuning and clutching jds i have charts and jets and (special part numbers) lol. that was a great way to grow up. and if anyone knows where a snow fire, sprint fire or the experimental 550 are let me know. lol

1974 Ski-doo 340 TNT, that is the sled I learned how to ride on, in fact my dad still has it, we had it out last winter for the hell of it.

70's elan, I think. Had to put my hand on the carb to start it. Like a choke. Also had a polaris single cylinder. Don't know what year, but it rocked. Well, from what I can remember.

197? yamaha GP338. it never ran more than a few minutes at a time. Then me and a friend took a Polaris colt 340 and put a Polaris 550 fanner In it......talk about a scary ride

We had a 76 cheetah 500 that I got to ride once and tore the chaincase out of and after that it was the 78 lynx 250 that I rode for 7 years
Same deal dad said when I could start it cold I could ride it. Lol found the can of quick start and kept it in the sled. He couldn't believe it when I came tearing out of the shed when it was -15 and the sled was running. After a couple years and a glove over the carb was all it needed to fire up.

First sled was a 1966 ski-doo rode it quite a bit but dad had his 1975 sno-jet astro ss that really wanted to ride ( but wasn't aloud to until i could start it by myself, for him it was a blessing and a curse, The blessing was I couldn't start it for a couple of years , The curse was I flooded the crap out of it alot trying to start it) But the oldest sled I rode was a 1956 Bozak a friend had.
