what in the world is a sno runner

[Dave Stark]

With as many gear-heads that are on here, i thought more people would remember them, but i guess not. :smart:

 

 

It was a Chrysler designed snow-motorcycle that was produced for about three years. It had a chain driven paddle belt powered by a 125cc engine. They stopped making the things in 1982 (ostensibly from bankruptcy) because too many people were breaking their necks.

I have two, and you can't have either :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: . They are/were a chrysler product. I think they were originally designed as a light military transport, also fold up and fit into a large car trunk. Fun little machine.

Now that's just mean. :roll:

Sorry didn't mean it to be too mean. I am actually getting the thinner cylinder head spacer installed for all that extra power :rotf: :rotf: worth a shot I guess, already have the high performance? sprocket/clutch installed. Supposedly this and the head spacer add 1-2 hp and give you faster starts/top end speed? Have you rode your sno-rabbit or just picked it up and need parts, the website that was posted says it has carbs for sale?

 

Once I get it done I'm going to to throw it in the back of manche like everyone here does with there 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :yes:

Years ago we had bought out a dealer that still had about six of them in crates, needless to say i tinkered with them just a bit. Since then most have been sold / grenaded. Yes, you will gain some power/speed by removing the thick spacer, it will not help starting (if anything it is much more difficult even with the pressure relief valve). I never had any trouble with the clutch/sprocket.

 

If i can't get a used carburetor, then I'll prob buy the new one on there. $70.00

my dad and I restore/rebuild sleds and because of that we have alot of parts run through our place...we had two of them last year but sold them. I'll have him keep his eyes open for you.
