this is part 2 on this old snow mobile engine that was pulled out of a falling down barn in southern NH . the fuel system was missing parts on the 1st video and now we have them. lets wrench on it some more and see how we make out.

looks like it has a blower on it!! lol
Joe from 2 vintage torx the carbonator bolts down
That looks like it would work on that goofy snowmobile u got
would a snap ring work for that starter?
This guy struggles in life and is a butcher
It's a testament to your content that, when you were testing the fan, I had to fight the urge to feel for air coming out the other end of the heads. I'll bet ads wish they had that level of engagement.
I think small engines make the best teaching prop. Well done professor 😉
Based purely on other carbs I have rebuilt, there is always a washer that fits under the seat. This would "push" the needle and seat together, ensuring slightly more pressure on the needle to close
Watching this video at work- repairing a clarinet. Nice stash of brass!
Buddy of mine was doing this same thing. Clutch come apart and he ended up needing 80 stitches to put part of his face back together. Be careful brother
I have seen that engine or at least one very similar to it that was a Rockwell engine in a snowmobile that we used to ride around at my grandparents when I was a kid. It was a snowmobile from like the 70's or maybe even 60's. It was older but we had fun with it. Last I knew it was at my uncles but it had not been run in decades at this point. I would guess it had probably been scrapped at this point but who knows.
Good job, sounds great!ðŸ‘
This motor sound realy like an 25hp trabant motor 🥰
Greetings from germany love your videos 👉👈🥰
Very neat video Mustie, CONGRATULATIONS, that was a real project and very challenging as well entertaining, has been very long time ago that I haven't have one of those in my 72 years of age, my most expressive thanks for sharing it with us, please keep us posted, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
Looks like the same engine we had in our 1971 Arctic Cat Puma and Panther. Both 340 JLOs.
Its a JLO ENGINE
reminds me of working on my old snojet all summer only to get it started and watch it take off across the yard and craxh into a gulley…good times
I love your videos Mustie. Just a little suggestion. Try referencing the internet when your having trouble. YT videos are so helpful, not to mention you can get schematics for just about anything online today.
get a nice rolling chassis and make a street bike with this engine – maybe a CVT for the trans
Interesting tech from Germany! It reminds me of the Harley Davidson golf cart engines from the 60’s except when you applied power in reverse to the starter / generator it would start the engine in reverse so one could back up the cart. The forward reverse selector also isolated the charging voltage to battery when it was in reverse or they used a diode patch to prevent reverse voltage from reaching the battery. That centrifugal clutch needs to be polished a bit since the rust will wear the belt prematurely. These early engines from HD were also two stroke.
What is 430 Avacado time? (37:52 back wall on the right)
huh!
i have a rockwell engine.
We had a 72 Massey ferguson snowmobile that had a 440 JLO rockwell. Sounds exactly like that one.
Saw an engine like this on a six wheel amphibious in another video. Couldn’t get the link tho.
The needle and seat are correct because it's pulse operated because i use a similar carb on my race kart engine
Yes, 100% snowmobile engine! Many manufacturers used that engine back in the late 60's and early '70s. As a point of reference for next time you do not need to gravity feed the gas to that type of carb since the fuel pump is built in, and you have a pulse line coming from your crankcase that drives the pump. GREAT VIDEO – LOVE IT!!
Rotax is the name for an engine manufacturer located in Austria.
that carb is maybe not sposed to be gravity fed…I bet that's why it floods. I know those pumper carbs like to pull the fuel.
Check valve adjustment.
