    Slowly but Surely

    I sincerely apologize that my blog posts have not been as cool or interesting as they may have been if I were still riding. However, unlike the last few seasons, I actually have some money in my bank accounts! I haven't used any of my credit cards basically this entire semester. I figure if I slowly surf and buy parts off DooTalk I will be able to do this correctly and for less money. This project is actually going to end up costing me less than earlier anticipated. The head posted below is a Bill Cudney (The God of Rotax snowmobile engines) custom cut stock head. It is supposed to burn better, cleaner, and add a few ponies. The only drawback is that I have to run premium fuel... which i'm used to anyways with the 440 mod. I picked this head up on DooTalk from a guy in Michigan for $75 shipped. Most guys were asking $125 + shipping. I think I made out okay. Patience has proved to be my virtue when perousing for parts.

    I have also found someone that will sell me completely remanufactured & plated cylinders for $200 apiece. That's a really good deal. I'm basically going to have a brand new 800 motor in my sled! How exciting! When it's all said and done... it will be pushing about 150-160 HP.

    Check out the pic below... and thank you for reading!

    You'll enjoy riding your sled more knowing that you haven't put tons of money on your credit cards to get there! :-) Have fun!
