Dad bought us a brand new one in 88- I was 12. Prime it 3 times and it would usually fire on the second pull every time. Man, if I had a nickel for every tank of fuel put through that little machine and every trail we broke first, every load of firewood we pulled out with the bobsleds, or every mile of trail we pulled a drag across- I could probably buy a new one! Had so much fun on that little machine. I still love just hearing the sound of yours!
Best bush sled ever made. Something every Canadian kid should grow up with. I have a 98 version and if you treat them right the go forever. My kids call it the Ol Tundy!!
I got a -89 nordic, the starter is gone and its a bad Treated snowmobile but if you prime 4 it will start on first pull. Great video, nice with some oldies!
My dad used to have a tundra II, that thing'd run forever on a cup of gas and had excellent flotation for ice fishing, even with 2 riders and a ton of gear
I got a 377 moto ski special twin card and a 377 single carb mirage ll ...one thing is for sure...both of them always start on the first pull...or if not, the 27th pull!
I love those little sleds, would love to get one but out here in Valcourt QC they aren't cheap !! Great content with good knowledge. Keep it up man, your other channel is awesome by the way !!
had 2 olympic 399 very reliable cold start but starter recoils worn fast got in the habit taking extra with i remember how loose the steering felt then found a polaris txl that thing was fast but frozen fingers with the tiny windshield. one very cold very snowy superbowl sunday took polaris for a ride during halftime throttle stuck slammed it into hidden tree stump along fence destroyed sled completely it's still out there under years of cattails
I chose to work on a 1990 Jag 340 this season. Picked it up for 100 bucks got it going but have a nasty bog. 1 cylander looked lean like its not firing properly. Replacinh coil this weekend with a new carb same money as rebuilding my choke. And belt deflection.
dumb question..... ive only ever primed my polaris 600 xcsp until the primer felt like it was moving gas, granted its a '99. Seems like you prime the thing a ton... is it just model to model based what it takes to flood the motor? Love the videos as always
@@PowerModzOfficial awesome, thanks. Common sense I guess, just know your the snowmobile beast and thought I might be doing something wrong! Also- when you hit the slush my stomach dropped a bit just feeling how it feels knowing- ooops gotta go now!
wow, nice area to ride. that sled looks fun. how's it for power? looked like a single cylinder. I hope that I can eventually get a skidoo of some kind to go with the rest of my vintage fleet.
@@1986Honda4trax I imagine so. I have a ski whiz with a longer track than most vintage sleds (although not as long as this one here) it does better in the powder, although I'm thinking of putting a deeper-lug track on it one day.
Louie, Gotta tell ya man. I miss the old powermods. You don't have to go all whole ham like what hurt cha. Kinda remind me of someone that got bucked off horse and don't wanna get back on. Not cutting on ya. Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your videos over the years. You were the first channel I subscribed to.
Hey thanks for watching, I dont mind getting back on but if I literally try to pull a sled over the wrong way im out of commission for 3 weeks...its a bugger of a thing but ill get back in action soon enough.
@@PowerModzOfficial Louie, I'll always watch man, Thanks for being such an awesome creator for so many years. I totally understand. Take your time and get better all the way. Good stuff on the other channel too!
Man the tundra is a nice machine. I need one for gathering wood. Just looks like a good time. Your land might be what is propagandaing that for me but whatever. Could you test NOCO lithium batteries in the cold? I know its a expensive thing to ask. But I feel like with your pull in the Canadian sled world you could work something out. I think you even did sponsored noco videos. Anyways if its possible could you do it? Four storke sled too!!!??
I might try them - ill check them out. I dont like NOCO for their wires - the plastic on them becomes super hard in the cold weather and is very annoying - and brittle
I’ve never had a sled or even ridden one Do you remember the Honda 400 Foreman’s that had the real long gas tank vent hose that stuck down in the steering column, I’d just bought mine and had it about 6-8 months when I was out trail riding with a bunch of friends and the thing would just run about 10-15 minutes and die everybody kept saying I was outta gas but it was full and as soon as I put the gas cap back on it would run again for about 10-15 minutes then die again after several hours of riding and searching for any possible answer to the problem someone ask if I’d checked the vent line to see if it was plugged up. As I was pulling it out we noticed that it was twisted up bad almost into a knot and after getting it all the way out I cut off a bunch of it leaving just enough to go down into the steering column about 4” and I never had any problems again and as soon as I bought the 450 Forman I did the same thing to it Have fun and stay warm.
i ride a freestyle it suposed to be a bit like a tundra what you think ?ever tried one?. i like it but it makes other sleds like my dad gsx and scandic feel so heavy when i switch lol
That’s awesome!! Been watching the other channel really digging the content ec specially with your kids! Good to see people raise their kids like that yet!

Best skidoo to bust trails with when cutting wood! Love the tundras, my very first skidoo was a 98 tundra ll long track was a beast!!

You bet!

You bet
Man I have to get a sled again, hear in pittston MAINE we don't get crap for snow any more.
i have 1996 tundra 2, i have been working it like 2 summers, got it finally run. Waiting for winter to test it.
Have a 97 tundra 2, love it do death. Runs and drives great and floats over deep snow especially with ski skins, so good luck on urs!
beautiful sled
Thanks!

Oh ya dont do it like I did it...my primer was leaking and I was filling the carb bowl that was pretty much dried out. They flood easy!
@@PowerModzOfficial awesome, thanks. Common sense I guess, just know your the snowmobile beast and thought I might be doing something wrong! Also- when you hit the slush my stomach dropped a bit just feeling how it feels knowing- ooops gotta go now!
@@TripleAstyle1 yup!
Keep'em comein. :)
Awesome video. I'm glad your safe..
Thanks Rob!
Your welcome.
lotta Fun too me Nice Break
I have one from 2006 but its just a wood holler sled and groomer sled but its ok fast
wow, nice area to ride. that sled looks fun. how's it for power? looked like a single cylinder. I hope that I can eventually get a skidoo of some kind to go with the rest of my vintage fleet.
It's good but not a powerhouse - geared low.
Not much power but the longer track and how skinny they are make them fun as shit and hard to get stuck if you know how to ride em

Is your oil pump still hooked up if not what pre mix ratio do you run in the old girl?
Tundra would be 50:1 ratio.
I run 40:1. always have

Yup that will do it!
If you could only have one, which would you pick? A Tundra or a VK540?
vk540
i ride a freestyle it suposed to be a bit like a tundra what you think ?ever tried one?. i like it but it makes other sleds like my dad gsx and scandic feel so heavy when i switch lol
i have it since last year barely popped the hood yet i want to start doing stuff on it and learn. im kind of scared i dont know where to start
Yes I had the tundra RF 300, it needed more power like your 550
I cant find a pssenger seat for mine
❄❄😎👍
That sled needs another cylinder like put a ski doo twin fanner in it! That poor old single is struggling!
Nice what year is the tundra
geeze I dont even remember! maybe a 94?
Really miss the sled content!! Do you still have Rmk?
I have a 2020 khaos. I'd like to make more but need more back rehab
That’s awesome!! Been watching the other channel really digging the content ec specially with your kids! Good to see people raise their kids like that yet!
You only need three or four primes
Make a video on the tune up
will do
Mine is a total mf to start. I put a new plug in there, still takes many pulls to start. Any idea wtf I should do?
check compression - rebuild carb
