Hey there. New to the site. Lots of great info. I'm trying to find some info about a machine I just purchased. It's an omc snow cruiser 2011. I don't know the year / ccs / value etc. it's in pretty good shape and everything works. I'm hoping someone on here knows something about these machines. Thanks in advance for any information.

Got Pics?

Amen, pics will help ID the year.
A buddy of mine across town has a '71 that I just rebuilt the 399 Kohler in. I believe he also has a couple earlier ones in pieces in his barn at different stages of restoration.

Made from 1966 to 1971. Anywhere from 3 to 7 different models in each of those years. Some powered by Kohler engines (either 309cc or 399cc) the rest by OMC's own engines (either 362cc or 437cc). Earlier years ran Carter and Bendix carbs. The later models had Tillotson carbs.

We'd need pictures and maybe some serial numbers of model numbers from the sled and/or the engine to come up with any further info.

Here's a picture of it. Ill add a few more once it's light out. It does have a tillotson carb and the engine is an opposing twin if that makes any sense. The heads are opposite of each other. The only reason i know its a 2011 is the original owner sent me a picture of it prepaint and it had the 2011 badge on the hood just below the windshield.

Thanks fellas!

Not a 2011. That was probably a trail pass.

Do you know what the 2011 numbers axross the hood would mean then? I can still see the outline of them under the paint.

I looked at some pics on site listed below and it looks like a model number but I haven't found it yet. Looks like a 1968 or 1969 model year.

Looks to be a 1970 Snow Cruiser 1500, which came with an OMC 437cc motor. The paints not original, neither is the seat cover.

Here's another picture. More to come. Looking closer the 2011 badge looks like a sticker under the paint. May have been tossed on by someone...

One of the serial numbers

Found it: Looks like a 1971. Scroll down in the linked site to see the 2011 model listed.

Wow I've been looking for days and couldn't even come up with an image like my machine. Thanks fellas. Now at least I can try and get this carb tuned a bit. It's got a bit of a top end lag and I wasn't sure where to start. Any idea of the value on this machine as it sits?

**RJ Gleason** · 01-04-2013, 04:08 PM

2 to 400.
