I picked these 2 up last night,basicly stole them,the price was so "cheap"!!  1971 Scorpion Stinger II on the left,a 1972 Sears Sportster 335 on the right.Ya,I know, I wasn't going to pick up more sleds.BUT the sled graveyard was so bare,had to put something in it!!   I think I'll rebuild that Polaris triple,bent rod,rusted crank etc.NOT!  I'll fix the Scorpion up for a rider,but will junk the Sears!! |

It's a catch 22! I told my wife, this spring,I was done buying-----Rupps! She told me to go pick these 2 up.She could tell I was miserable,by not going out & picking sleds up.She actually enjoyed it too.  |

To cold for an old snowmobiler like you? You got the old part of it right!!! I don't mind the cold,as long as the sleds can be driven.  |

It looks like the seized engine,in the Sportster, is 335cc,has twin Mikuni carbs & also has hydraulic brakes.The sled needs way to much work for me to do.I bought the Scorpion & this was part of the deal,take both or none.I'll put both in cold storage this winter & figure out what I'll do with them next spring/summer.
