    Nice. I knew it would run. Those fugi engines are amazingly great. Good job guys.

    Could you please make a guide how to trouble shoot and measure electrical components with a multi meter for dummies like me?

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eventually, but don't wait for it. There's a ton of videos on how to use multi-meters and the Polaris Master Service manual can be found on vintagesnow(dot)com. Those manuals list the values for all the components.

    Reinforce front left motor mount and a bigger top gear! (and a Walbro if you really want to make it a runner).

    Through experience, always check the coil first. Easiest thing to replace and fairly inexpensive...

    Those were cool sleds i always thought. Then again im a sucker for 1 luggers. Also love the shovel nose skis(what i call them 😂)
    Awesome to see it was just the coil. I use a business card to clean them sometimes too...im thinking rubber track might be best, less weight and on ice cleats can be fun😂

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  ปีที่แล้ว

      Lonnie is going to make the call, but I think he's leaning towards cleats.

    • @MrStorbeck
      @MrStorbeck ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cleats are faster!

    Do you have a older polaris style flywheel puller or does the slp puller work on them older motors?

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used the SLP on this one because it was 3 bolts. Had to make a 4 bolt puller for TXs.

  • @curto9664
    @curto9664 ปีที่แล้ว

    whats just as good but not as fast? a good old 244. i would like to see a triple version of the 244.

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  ปีที่แล้ว

      You would need to start with a 60mm stroke base, so a 650 crank.

    Welcome back Lonnie! Too bad I missed you at Princeton 🤷🏻‍♂️
    I see you got the new hound! Should be a good friend for Farley! Did you get the name Daisy from the movie Gran Torino? Same dog, same name in that movie lol
    Should be a good little sled for the one lunger rides 👍
    Good job getting it running guys!
    Cheers 🍻

      Daisy was her baby name at the breeders and it fit so it stuck. Thanks Rob!

    I had a 1973 400 scorpion when I was young how hard would it be to find one and how outrageous would it be priced?

    • @nuttersspeedshop
      @nuttersspeedshop  ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose it depends on where you live, but it's a pretty common sled in my area.

    I had a 72 colt 250 that would run 67 mph race that many times the 250 ext would take me on a short track that 250 would take not be taken on a 1/2 mile track.i would run it in 340 440 mod class
