Bought the old sled last summer and thought I better get it out before its too late and spring gets here, Had to do a little carb adjusting, she last raced at Scofield Lake Utah back in 1971 and 1972. The second owner bought it at an estate sale and it was just too loud so they parked it in 1978..............

Thanks Al, I changed the lower panels and installed fiberglass, and the seat has to go, It will get one of Ricks Rupps seats. So not so original but I will leave the remainder of the sled original. Trust me the three carbs with the needle sticking every time you leave it sit for a few months is a challenge. |

I have a 800 that has 3 separate tethers. Have'nt really looked into it yet but the stock 800 Mag., surely must have a single or if there is no way to break a common feed from mag. to coils does the Kalamazoo have 3 seperate contacts ED? Sure would like to get down to a single tether instead of wearing 3 when racing, anybody fix me up with proper connections to hook in a 2 wire tether, or a tether that will take the place of 3?
Do not want to just experiment & ruin some coils or something.

None of the sleds I build are not original so this Ski Doo part will work fine. |

Rick, I have parts like that as well, I dont like selling anything. I cant remember the last thing I sold?  Hoots the tether on the 800 mag has three wires, I would post on vintage sleds and some of the hirth collectors might have something for you.... |
