Hi
David, I've been searching your site and found two posts about a snowmobile
I just picked up locally.
It's
a a 1971 Ski Star with a 295cc Kohler.
Wondering
if you had any idea how many of these sleds were made?
I
haven't found any info other the your pictures on it. I hoping to have
it running here in a few weeks. Austin
You
can add any pictures you would like. I can send some more as I get
some stuff done on it.
Also
I'm going to have a seat done for it and make a windshield. I'll probably
keep it just because it is so odd.
it
was bought out of Waverly IA, found in a falling over barn in plainfield
ia.
I
buffed the rest of it doesn't look too bad from about 15 or 20 feet away
lol.
I
will say their is alot of stress cracking in hood and engine shroud shines
up nice tho I'm having a seat made for
it
close to original and I'll probably fix the rusted skis and take it to
some vintage rides the way it is.
I
have gotten the motor running needed a condensor, I'll get some more pictures
in the next week or so after I
wire
wheel and paint some things and get the motor back in.
Some
progress pictures. muffler was all rotted out on the bottom got it fixed
up tho.
Got
more progress done on the ski star. I fixed the muffler and repainted the
head cover and
polished
the side cover some and got the engine back in the sled.
New
seat and stainless seat hinge is on!.
It's
close to being done. Just need to find a good ski or fix it and fix the
gas tank. New seat and hinge are on.
