- Finally got around to working on big blue again. Snow has really been lacking this season and so was motivation for a while. But, I guess if you can't ride might as well wrench! Hope to ride this thing a bit this year.

There's nothing like the feeling you get when you get an old machine running again.
Yup, always a good feeling, especially when it's been written off for dead!
They were a solid and reliable machine. Great for the farm. You could pull a lot with them.This model was my very first snowmobile, then Dad decided to get a TNT 440 free air. I miss the Snow Jet as much as the TNT.
Cool, they are fun sleds for sure.
Gotta love these old sleds
When they ran those oldies were fun. This brings me back. Always trying to keep our sleds running. Our Yamaha 1971 sl 338 never died. But our 71 ext 399 free air and Polaris charger 398 were very finicky.
Funny how some sleds were just always a lot more maintenance, you just know something was going to break! haha
This is the first time I’ve seen any of your vids, and I’m hooked!
Good job, and thanks for sharing your talent, and sense of humor
Thank you!
Cool that you put a Cat suspension and track on it. I put a mikuni carb on my old snow jet. Made a big difference. It was a astro jet 295.
Lol. Just remember how many times I had to pull that cord to get mine going. Good old days! Lol
Old sno jet don't sound to bad nothing like to sound of a good sled this makes me want to get the sleds ready
Yeah man, fall and winter will be here before you know it!
i bin into sleds since i was 10 years old iv had beaters and iv had new ones! i done this same shit!! ur videos are classic! they’re hilarious cause the shits true!!
Haha, thanks man!
That wide track was a good work sled
for toting fire wood.
Ride’em for 5 minutes fix’em for 5 hours.... I just heard my dad talking to me lol you just earned yourself a subscriber.
Yup, that's pretty accurate! Haha
Vinny, your videos are always the best. You can make anything run again, with a budget of parts you have around !
Awesome video
Nice to see it run man yeah it is true mine also is a 5 minute ride 5 hours repairs
Amazing!
Love the video! My first sled was a sno jet, and I had an old sportster than I rode for 5 minutes and worked on for 5 hours so I can relate.
Haha, thanks! Old machines make you appreciate problem free rides.
That's actually a pretty nice looking sno jet!
Yeah man, it's surprisingly decent. Would have been really nice if it had been stored better, kind of a shame.
Dude nice collection of great parts and cool ol sleds nothing like the oldies
Thanks man!
It's always something! Sounds good though, I thought you'd never get that Walbro to run, but you did it, congratulations! Now to find some hyfax.
I sure do enjoy your videos as always, thanks man.
Thanks for watching man!
I love your videos and the sense of humor that goes along with them... if you continue to make them ill continue to watch! I also love the repair tips occasionally😂lol
Thanks man! I'll keep making videos as long as I've got projects to work on, and there seems to be no shortage of those... haha
toocheaptosmoke oh I understand that one😂
You've put a lot of work into stuff. Good for you.
Sometimes projects just sort of get more involved than first anticipated, haha.
Died laughing within the first 50 seconds. Can't wait for the rest
SnoJet 🏁
Jeez, you must have one heck of a pile of parts!
That's true! lol
Nice
Once again Toocheap has entertained me on lunch break. You had better luck with the Walbro than I. My Deere wears a Mikuni donated by a friend as the wally was not co operative.
Don't jinx it man, that walbro has plenty of time to F up yet!! lol
nice job.
That guy Bah53 has one!
she runs good
It's a wonder how those old sleds rain at all some of those carburetors were so stupidly complicated...
It is, haha
Sweet. Just in time too eh?, it's starting to snow. To bad about the slides. Anything will work. Maybe get some bogies for that thing.
Threw on some slides last year, and was out rocking it yesterday! Tillotson HD is working nice and I got it tuned in pretty decent, it definitely feels like the motor is good for 50 mph but the brakes and steering only good for 30, haha.
Right on. Me and the boys were out rippin it up with the elans on the weekend. How's your snow?
Cool, an elan is on my to get list someday. We've had 2 or 3 weeks with brutal cold and just a dusting, got about 6" today and then it turned to rain, and will probably melt in a day or two... Crazy roller coaster temps, mother nature is killing me! lol
sadly discard mine crank broke off no replacement part of that engine
You got a nice collection,.any tx Polaris?
Yup, got a few kicking around, I oval race a 79 tx-c
do you have any cheap fixer upper for sale cheap-cheap
So close yet so far away
Sno-jet's were fast. I drag raced sleds in the 1970's . I've had 20 sleds at least. There was a time I rode my 340 F/A TNT ski-doo to Medway Secondary school from Lucan Ontario with my 870 12gauge on my back. I would just put my gun in my locker for the day.
No one after up! If you pointed your gun there were 12 pointed back!
The neighbour was an OPP and friend of my father. My guns were above my bed.
This may be no big deal to my American friends but to my whiney left-wing secular Canadian young people of today I say.
Mind your own business! Stay out of my closet and I will stay out of yours!!
I really miss the old days.
Thanks for the video.
Definitely different times back then!
I would love to pickup one of these with a blown motor and swap a built predator 420 or duromax 440cc engine onto it.
That would be an interesting build!
i keep expecting a jeff ross type roast joke
Rad...
Walbro
First thing i would of did was wallop off the carburator with the axe
Ha! Ya, Tillotson's are much better.
In the riding mower world wolbro carbs are king ......I guess in the snowmobile world they are junk lol
Ha, I guess that is kind of true. Those certain carbs just seem to be notorious for being unreliable and difficult to tune. There's some models from all the manufacturers like that as well though.
Those are some of the worst carbs ever
Yeah, the tillotsons are so much better!
Them walbros are junk my 76 JD 400 has got one it’s bad
Yeah, the HD has been running much better.
