Single carb on this old girl. The small oiler tubes that come from the pump up to each side of the y manifold where cracked and missing. It's a project, just might be into more than I wanted to spend.

I am working on a major enticer project. So far have a running 81 300 that my daughter has already put around 25 miles on playing in the fields. I have a 79 340 that was a barn find that I am rebuilding the motor on and de-mousing. That one almost made me puke. Also have an excell 3 340 with electric start that I may be able to revive. And last a et250 that has been scavenged for parts. My plan is to get as many running before Christmas as I can so all my nieces and nephews can get out and have some fun. Kids these days spend way too much time inside and need to be unplugged. I am going to need another pair of skis and an air box for a 340 if anyone has spares let me know please. Thanks

Taking the rebuilt 340 out for a test ride today. I hope it holds together! The exhaust pipe I have on it must have rotted out most of the muffler, it seems to have a bit more bark than normal. I will post some pictures later.

Looks good........now you can sell your cat.....
Looking good man. There's a few of those out around the farm. There's one that is piloted by a little 9-10 year old dude who can really toss it around. Cool little sleds.

Well I forgot my phone in the house both days so no pictures but managed to get two days of riding on the 300 and 340 Enticers. Only a small issue with the recoil on the 300 and some chilled kids yesterday since it was -19. I was amazed that they weren't stuck more they did plant them a few times in some wind protected areas that were close to 3 feet deep. Need to tune the carb on the 340 more it was still running rich at -19 yesterday and check compression again. It doesn't seem to have much power which could be from to much fuel I guess. My kids and nieces and nephews had a lot of fun and without any electronics in there hands!!

Yup we gotta search for it but there's deep snow out there. Sylvan has a lot of snow piled up in the tree breaks.
Seems like recoils are the big ticket item this week. Took out the recoil in the '89 Formula on Friday (easy fix) and completely piled up the recoil in my REV yesterday. Can't win! haha

Got out again yesterday and remembered to take a few pictures. The 340 runs way better with a 220 jet. Adjusted the oil pump also it was over oiling. Maybe the rings will seat now and make a lit more compression.
Anyone recommend a good place to have cylinders bored? I tore down the other 340 motor I have and it will need to be bored out for rebuild?
