VINTAGE 1980 Yamaha Enticer Gets Former Glory REVIVAL - $500 Cheap Snowmobile Challenge

Жыл бұрын

I bought this 1980 Yamaha Enticer 300 snowmobile project to go do wintery snow things with ‪@JunkyardDigs‬ and crew at the 2023 Chetek Winter Fest in Wisconsin this February (link below). I found the snow machine on Facebook Marketplace for a pretty fair $500 seeing as it was complete, runs, and looks like a ton of fun. This is my first snowmobile experience; let's see if we can't resurrect the once abandoned beast with some budget upholstery work, cleaning, polish, and a couple spark plugs - will it run around the yard and look good doing it?

Another reason I love watching your videos is. When I was younger I worked for my friend who was more like family. His shop was just like yours. Made of tin. When it got that shop was colder than a meat locker. He passed away a few years ago and every time I watch your videos I think of him. He was funny just like you. He heated that place with a wood burning stove. Every once in a while he would throw a piece of inner tube in it and it would make that stove turn bright red from the heat. I’d just shake my head.

Oh man! When I was a kid, the neighbors had a couple old ski doo's. We would get a long rope and tie up one of those metal sledding disc's behind them and take turns getting pulled behind the snowmobile in a big field. This usually resulted in bruises, goose eggs on our heads, snow packed inside our coats, hypothermia and hours of fun! This brings back memories!

My first sled was a 79 enticer 300 in white. Awesome little sprint sled, didn’t like deeper snow though. But this is how the addiction starts. I currently don’t have a sled, not much use for one in Arkansas, but have a half dozen atv’s, a side by side and bikes. Thinking about getting a few sleds again to take to Colorado. You’ll want an 8,10,12mm wrench, flat and Phillips, pliers and plug wrench. Always make sure your spare belt is good and carry extra fuel pump, some fuel line, clamps and emergency pull rope.

Yer gonna have a good time in Sconny. :) I grew up in central MN, and we got lots of snow, ground covered from late November until mid March, lakes frozen over a foot or two. At 13 you could get your snowmobile saftey cirtificate (taught after school!) and it was like a ticket to freedom! Now I had 50 and 100 dollar beaters but they are what I cut my wrenching teeth on, and with the saftey cirtificate you could ride the road right of ways (ditches) etc and I rode to school and to visit my friends. Spent lots of time two up on a '79 340 twin Enticer! I met Kevin in MN last weekend and saw the mighty rotary Panther in action. :)

That thing was going pretty well on mud, wait until you get it on snow. I'd say if you care, check the bottom of the skis, if they're all rough and rusty it will slow the thing down. Just surface rust will wear off quickly when you start to drive it. Also, the skis need skegs, or steel bars that run the center length of the ski, they help with steering and will serve as a sacrificial wear surface to protect the skis when you run across the road, (or just go mudding on it). They're cheap, but you'll want some if the ones on it are gone.
