  • I picked this 70s chrysler snow runner snow cycle up during the summer at a motorcycle show called rice o rama, its been sitting for over 40 years and it shows, lets get it up on the bench and see how it was built and if we can bring it back to life. then we crashed it broke it and parked it, now we have some snow again and bought some parts. lets see if round 2 works out better,

    Back in the 80’s, a friend had on of these in his garage. We tore it apart and strapped the engine in a western auto go cart. It wouldn’t burn the tires, but if you had a long enough stretch of pavement, I swear it would go 60 mph. We rode it until someone got hurt and the kids dad made us take it apart. Ahhhhh….. good times. Peace.

      It’s also known as a West Bend 820 - it was a common class when I was racing karts in the 2000’s.

      If you stretch the chain you increase the pitch of the chain the pitch of te sprocket is fixed therefore you will wear out your sprocket and you will have to changethe sprocket and the chain

    I had a thought when you showed the worn off plastic from the broken original track guide. It would be cool if you could configure a hyfax from a modern snowmobile track to work on your new guide. Hyfax are dense plastic "C" shaped sacrificial strips that protect the aluminum rails from contacting the steel lugs in the track. They might provide a much improved life span for your new guide.

  • @beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles
    @beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles 29 дней назад +2

    Try pulling the clutch, you might be surprised that instead of a bushing it has a needle bearing. Back in the day late 60's we ran our mini bikes, with small B & S engines with the bushing clutches. But our Mc Cullough & West Bend engined mini bikes had to have that style clutch. Because of the high rpm's and extra hp also the heat it had to have a needle bearing to hold up. We would cook a standard mini bike clutch in a hour.

If put cover over top too should work and hopefully that help ! Also super job did to it!
