[Lowfer] oily stuff

>>Tilletson carbs - your showing your age - I think we went upper class to

Oh Yah, most snowmobile manufacturers changed over to MIKs by 1976. I 
converted my '73 TNT from twin Tillotsons to twin Mikunis and never had any 
more vapor lock during spring conditions. Even converted the �lan over, and 
found the reliability much better.  I was forever taking the tillotsons 
apart for cleaning - even on the trail. I'll never forget the time I towed 
my first machine ('67 Olympic)out to Colorado and right off the bat was 
having vapor lock problems. Took a look at the gas filter and it was plugged 
up with gold dust that worked its way into the tank on the drive across the 
state.

>I remember those carbs from the early 70's on the Rupp Nitro's.

Some of the manufactures got the 'word' earlier than others. Polaris was 
using them on most models in 1970. Man I can't wait to get out there. Last 
year was super. That new suspension allows you to ride 100 tough miles 
without feeling worn out.
