Am I the only one to miss snowmobiling?

If you have time, get out and help your local snomo club get the trails ready for spring. It will get you on the trails before it snows, introduce you to some fellow riders, and help you get into better shape. The clubs need your help!

I'd hedged for years on buying one - wasn't sure if I'd get enough use out of it. Then my brother bought a couple and I didnt have to hedge any more!

Sadly, he sold it a few years later and I've been without since. Does anyone know if there is a rental place anywhere near Wolfeboro?

Thx!

Last week, durring that brief period of cool weather,I started my machines.I used to "summerize" them ,but now,leave the batteries in.I start them and move them just a little so that the belts and tracks won't develop a flat spot. Sweet was the sound!

SAMIAM......Starting the engine periodically during the summer is not good for it. Unless you run it long enough to get it really hot, there will be the by-product of combustion, water, remaining in the crank case. Water can damage the bearings if it collects next to them, Better to summerize, pour oil into the crank via the spark plug holes, and not start the engine until December. Pull the plugs occasionally during the summer and turn the primary clutch by hand to bathe trhe crank in the oil that was poured in there.
