BUFFALOKAT FROM NY HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE NYSSA TO GET A ONE TIME REG FOR VINTAGE SLEDS. PLS FILL OUT.
Thanks to who reply,but NYS guys have never been more close to this happening. NYSSA has a committee for it (Never before) I'm on it,so you know I'm fighting for US !
The BIG thing now is to contact all you elected officials with a email, Razanhoffer,Seward and Volker already have bills submitted,NYSSA is holding them back to gather info. Which has been made my task. There is a FOIL report,but only from DMV that shows sleds registered that are 25yrs or older. This is what NYSSA is using to see what the lost revenue would be if sleds got a reduced fee. They are registered at full price now and there are many,more that I would have thought. Vintage Lives in NY !!
PLEASE,send link to survey to your clubs online forum:

NYS Vintage Registration

Transferred over the engine from my 82 Blizzard 9500+ I took the best from both sleds Rewove the wiring loom and took the nippon denso ignition from the 82. discarded the oil injection (I don't trust it)
and yesterday i got the chance to do an engine test (just stuck the pipes on without the can) Gave the fuel system a full breakdown and cleaning both carbs and the pump. 5 pulls and she crackled to life :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::D
it's LOUD with just the pipes on :laugh:
now to get the suspension back under it.

2 things i hope i can find #1 a decent track (the one i got is ok but not the greatest) #2 a decent seat for it

Now wheres the SNOW!!!!

--Anyone know the rated horsepower, and max rpms this runs??

--And is the spark plug an NGK B7ES gapped at .020"?
--Anyone got any info to help me with parts? I think i need a new ignition coil as there is great compression just no spark.
--Whatcha guys think? Anyone worked on one of these?
--This is going on my off road go kart so don’t need for information on tracks or seats or anything just parts for the engine.
