bladefever Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 1 hour ago, Garth said: A lite I think is a little bigger than what I'm looking for. Think something between a 120 and a lite. Def on the radar in the future though as those can make an ok trail sled. Were they not all direct drive with P90 clutches? I can wrench without issue so not worried about the older stuff as long as parts can still be had. Grew up in the country on well worn 60's Olympiques, learned alot as a kid keeping them running.. Not all that is why I said chaincase models use P85. Restrict the throttle inside the carb slide. Plastic sleeve inside slide will hit the top. Remove sleeve and cut a little more off each year giving a little more speed as the kids get used to it. How old are the kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I started my kids with a Doo 120 with no front suspension, daughter drove it at age 4 with a string on the tether so I could pull the plug. Then bumped up to the Poo 120 with front suspension and they learned to lean and jump (small lumps on the lake). Then modded the 120 with Thinksno's rear shock install, head shave, stiffer valve springs, carb mod, geraing change and governor removal. Whetherill's has/had lots of parts for it. They could climb the hill adults have trouble with up to the cottage and ride in over a foot of snow on the lake. Next was a minty 340 Lite from Irv with a hose clamp behind the throttle on the H bars and a loose throttle cable until I trusted them. Then an 02 Indy 500 from Pete . Never lost a cent on any of them keeping them in mint shape and never dealt with old crap sled issues. Jr is 6' tall now at 14, that was quick LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it mechanically and structurally sound as it was going to be my son't first big step up from his Kitty Cat. In all honesty, it was tough getting rid of it as I thought my XLT was going to be too big of a jump for him, but in hindsight, I am glad I sold it and it went to a good home. Speaking of Vintage sleds. I took these pics of an old Polaris in the back of a pick-up at the Marmora car show last summer or the one before that? Pretty cool, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
