Hi all, I am new here and I would like to say Hi
My question and kinda problem is
I have a 77 Skidoo Olympique 340 twin. I have had to restring the pull-start and put a new spring on the pull-start. I have replaced the sparkplugs and gapped them to factory specs .20
I have all new mixed fuel in and all the lines have been cleared of the old fuel. The oil/gas mix is 50:1 as per factory specs.
I have checked the fuel filter and its clean, I have cleaned the carb of all resin deposits.
Here is a little history of the machine: It was hit while piled in the snow by a front end loader. Only cracked the front cowling and dented the muffler. The muffler does not stay in that good but I have wedge it into the manifold.
I can get it started but it quickly stops after that, I can prime and watch the fuel go in. Its starts then bogs down. I do that for a bit and then it slowly just doesnt want to go anymore.
Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions on what I should check, try next.
Or should I just forget it and use my other sled. I have a 1990 Yamaha Enticer 400T. That one I got running but its only problem was the choke plunger was missing and a clogged fuel filter.
I am trying to learn how to do all this myself but without manual its hard. I am on a limited budget, hence the old machines. Hopefully in the future I will be able to afford better toys. But for now this is me and what I can do.
Thanks in advance for any help. You can post the answer here or email me (Or both
