Anybody know 1970s ski doo's?

Thats what i thought too, but why go through all that with installing a LC system? Seems like a pain in the ass to me.

Well.....we put a 440 fan cooled Rotax engine in a 250 Elan once, so why not? Thing went like a raped ape!

The chassis is a 1977 Everest 440 with electric start. The 444L/C motor was available 1978/79. then upgraded to the 464 in 1980.

Been reading up a bit on this sled.
i understand that i have to premix the fuel, but there seems to be an oil tank that supplies oil to the rotary valve. Is this required? Or will the premix lube it?

As a kid we had a 444 for a bit. It was fast! That small tank is for rotary valve and crank bearings but still needs to be pre mixed.

The tank and hose on mine is missing. I guess I'll have to find another.

Yes you will need the small tank to oil the worm gear on the crankshaft to rotary valve.

I'll see if I have the oil tank with hose in stock here.

That's a nice find.
