Man are you bringing back the memories. Looks like it didn't take much to get the ol sled running again. Enjoy the ride.

that the kids are riding around the yard on his snowmobile. This brings tears to my eyes but then if any of you know me well enough, you know that just about anything does. Glad to hear the beast has woken. The sled, not you Pam.

check out the famous snow jet track prints!! That track makes that thing have a whole 'nuther level of cool. I love it! What did you have to do to to get it running? MY step dad ran of few of those old timer runs with an old ditch pickle he picked up. Real neat Dave. I bet your FIL thought so too?

It wasn't too bad getting it going but tearing the engine down after I blew a hole in the PTO side piston was a bit of a chore..... Not kidding.

When you are powered up at cruise speed going across a field and all of the sudden it sounds like you blew a hole in a piston.... and you coast to a stop, pull the plug out & it looks like this.... well, you got problems.

Oh & Bill, it's a Yamaha engine, not a kawi... not sure why I was thinking Kawi.

Ouch!!!!! Can't help you out with a piston Dave, but I've got a collection of ones that look just like yours from my days of micro-sprint racing. In my case it was being too brave leaning out the carb jetting. They usually ran like a scalded rabbit just before that "Oh S..T" meltdown. Ron

You threw me a bit of a curve when you said it was a Kawasaki Dave. All the Jet's I ever saw were Yamaha's. Must have been running a hot plug to put a hole in the piston or a real lean carb. Pam didn't look any to thrilled. Good luck in your parts search.
