My first snowmobile was a 67’ Ski-doo Olympic (Not Super) If I remember correctly the hood was riveted on and I believe mine had a snow flap. It sure wasn’t fast with only ten hp but it went through the deep snow with ease. Great little sled for 67’ and great times. Thanks for bringing back a few memories. Nice video too by the way. 👍

WICKED COOL OLE GIRL, I REMEMBER SEEIN' THEM ON THE TRAIL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. HERE'S HOPIN' SHE'S A RIPPER... PEACE, FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...

Congratulations brother, I'm happy for you glad you got it running! Peace and love brother MMFC.,Turtle

Great old sled, in Vocational school in 1979 we had a guy bring in 5 of them every winter to get them greased up and tuned up for the winter. They were the 12.2 hp version. I would love to own one of the old sleds I am actively searching all the time. In Lieu of owing one of my own for now I will just watch you. Great Tank idea, JeffinMaine

the 1968 has a fixed head light super olympique 299 motor thank you Tim

When I was a kid our neighbors owned the local Ski-doo shop. They always had 6 or 7 or more sleds in the yard at winter. There mom, the actual owner, had a super nice Yamaha. We had a 69 scorpion and a 72 arctic cat puma that would eat up there sleds. Always thought the ski-doos was less stable cause the track was narrow. Both our sleds had wider tracks. BTW they actually got caught selling the sleds they beat on as new machines. Lost the dealership. Sold the shop soon after.

I grew up on a 68 super Olympic with the 299,I bought it used in about 71 from a friend of my dad

Holding out for part 2, when there's snow, and hopefully you were able to do something with that gas tank.

Just like old times been down that road myself but you got in the end

My brother and I rebuilt one of those in 1974 in our basement . Under the supervision of our dad of course. This thing ran like a top for many years.

Growing up in Northern Minnesota, our neighbors had 3 of these sleds. We didn’t have any in our Family. So we all migrated to our Neighbors. They lived on a half acre lot and from 10 years old until about 14 we drove these sleds around that 1/2 acre lot for hours. I bet we put on 1000 miles a Winter driving around that Yard! Oh what great Memories! I remember when they got hot, they would backfire Blue smoke right into your crotch.

Great video!!! I just subscribed as I love videos about the machines I had or was around back in the day. I've had a 68 208 Snow Cruiser, 70 Chapparal 300, 70 Olympique 399 and a 72 Merc Hurricane 644. Thanks for the memories and take care.

There's a hexagon drain screw on the underside of the tank in front of the track, if that tank is really bad but not rusted but just crud might be able to clean it out.

had one were a lot of fun

Awesome!! I have a couple decent hood vents if you would like them. Gratis. Also a taillight lens fir your Bobcat. Keep it up! Another great vid!!

Seat back is o.e.m. seats not, different pleating on vinyl, nice old olympique, when putting hood back on use wing nuts.😊

Those fuel tanks are the Achilles heel of those models, good luck with that, happy Thanksgiving, I love your channel and by the way is that a Mahogany runabout in your garage?

the tank is metal? also how would you get it out?

My dad had one of these i blew it up they dont like when u hold em wide open for 10 min straight trying to keep up with a 97 skidoo 550 i was young and dum he was pissed

We here u get carb parts?
