Bad ass! No other words! I raced in the 80s with a 250 and a 440, both 76. Why in the hell did we get rid of them. Most iconic, unique sound, and best looking sled ever. I will come and get it! Let me know! Thanks for the vid! Chad
35 pulls on the recoil - wow I would be back on the couch for a rest and then would take the recoil off and hook a drill up to turn it over --- I'm not lazy but !!!!!! may be in bad shape.
Even into the 90s, the liquid Twisters were competitive in some classes. I can remember a 600 twin Polaris wanted to run a 440 Sno-Twister. That Twister went out and flat kicked his ass!!! Hell, they had an easy 100+hp, and were close to 200lbs lighter. Never saw one that started as hard as this one, though!!!.....
I also know the passion, I have a 1969 single Boa Ski, a 1973 Alouette 340 Sno Brute and a 1973 Aloutte Silver Cloud Wankle (in mint condition) a 1996 Skidoo Touring SLE 500 and a 1997 Skidoo Touring SLE 500, and 2 Yamaha Bravo's which are 2 tough reliable customers.
Had a couple of 76' Alouette Super Brutes. A 250 and 440. Xenoha engines. The Alouette's were actually Rupp Magnums with Alouette decals. They were on par with the Sno Twisters. I've driven both and the Twisters handled a bit better.
My Dad owned and raced all three twisters the 250 cc liquid cooled the 340 cc fan cooled and the 440 liquid cooled they all came with kohler motors if I remember right and they flew They dominated My Dad bumbed bad when Mercury dropped snow mobiles
That's really funny! Merc won pretty much every USSA event in all three classes in 1976. I was on one. Yamaha was not even a close contender that year.
You guys better watch out you don't gas yourselves running that thing in a closed room that long get a little goofy and forget that exhausted gas is deadly
Merc was dialed in on the track unbeatable

Pictures of the wives up on the wall you fellows are so sincere.
Fast for its time, and still fast today....you guys did a super job!!!
My neighbor got one new back in the day ..i was so jealous, lol...beautiful still today but im not jealous.
Wow. And only 37 pulls.....what a gem....lol
Coulda primed the fuel system...
Rumor has it his right arm benches 30lbs more than the left!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
pretty lean on the low end, a couple squirts of gas in spark plug holes would have fired it up quick and saved your pulling time
How come people that don’t know what they’re doing get these sleds
I second that statement. Someone forget the oil? Just listen, way too lean.
though you were makin an exercise video! lol.

LOL you counted too

Good way to burn a piston running it for that long and definatly way to lean. No smoke, need a choke, too lean.

That sled won't start but when it does it ain't bad

Is that liquid cooled faster than the 75 free air Sno Twister?
YES
Nice sled but my 76 SRX snow dusted many Mercs...

@@arthurdavis1065 "Pass the pipe kid"🤷🏿
Mercs were ahead of their time

Right behind the Yamaha GPX
@@paulyarek ... ? - SRX - ?
1 word - rev-stand! lol

Definitely an m 80 sled, boom
Embarrassing
Awesome sled always wanted one, but wondering why it took 35 pulls to start ?
