I am restoring a 1973 elan 250 that was in a barn for 32 years. These videos have saved me so much time and I have learned a lot of tricks too. I love old stuff! Thanks Louis for loving them too.
I'm rebuilding a 1973 twin cylinder and it has the threaded holes in the chassis for the cup to support the axle. My 1979 has the other little plate with the threaded holes

The Elan was the best Deep Powder Machine in it's Day .
Good video..
Is there a shoulder on the shaft for the bearing on the chaincase end? How do i know my bearing is at the proper distance?
Thx Powermod
This has been up for 6 years and only one thumbs down. Anybody know who voted down? Would like to watch that guy’s video.
What about installing fuel lines? Which size did you use?
How would you install a new main harness on a vintage sled- mine is a mess and a half.
that tracks better than mine!
What did the resto cost? If you don’t mind me asking. I have 4 elans and plan to rebuild a couple. Like you are doing here.
were did you get a track from i have a 72 snojet starjet and i need a new track
It would have been nice if you showed how you installed the chain-case seal on the tunnel side of the chain-case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry bud, just take a piece of something flat and clean and tap it in.
Don't forget your anti-seize when you do your final assembly. Made that mistake more then once and regretted it the next time I had to tear it down.
where'd that track come from? I need one of the same tracks for my 1969 ski daddler.
i would guess kimpex.com..he mentions this company quite a few times for parts..good luck Mate..
Have 2 elans. Need mufflers. Where do i find them
where did u get your track because i have an old Arctic Cat panther that im fixing up and it needs a new track
Ron Thomson on Facebook has everything for ski skis not sure about cats
part 123 music is great
where did u get the track
Are you going to complete this restoration ???????
+Jeff Devincent yes - it is in queue.
Where can you find new drive chains for the elan? cant seem to find one, even on kimpex... can you still get new ones??
