Hey sledding brothahs and sistahs
Hey Guys, newbie to the forum but not sledding. I grew up on an old 70 Skidoo Olympique. Then inherited a 72 440 free-air bored 30 over. It was a sleeper. Had to run it with no cowel so that it would not overheat. That machine beat everthing until independent suspensions came out. I just could'nt hold onto it over 100mph. I then bought a new Formula MX in 87. Great sled except for slide guides kept on blowing of the track. Well, soon after that I got married (doh) and had to sell everthing ( sled, boat, dirtbike), to buy a house after my son was born. He is now 14 and I am getting back into sledding. I picked him up a 98 Polaris Indy Trail 488 and just picked up a 95 Formula III 600 that sat for 2 years and will not start, $300. I just got the spark working and now have to rebuild the carbs. Wish me luck.
I live in Mass but both parents (divorced) live in central Maine. We will be riding up there often. Hope to see some of ya on the trails.
