I think Ski-Doo went exclusively to Rotax in '63 or '64. Your Ski-Doo single must have been around 300#, my Cobra is more like 450#, the Cat is probably the same or just a bit more. My '95 Ski-Doo Grand Touring is around 800#. I got that one stuck (buried really) just once. Had to use an 8' long 2x8 on a firewood fulcrum to lift it up and stuff more firewood under the track. With 13-14" of suspension travel I had to lift it quite high to get enough track exposed for the job at hand.
Learned to beware those "slight" depressions. This one happened to be full of water and much deeper than it looked. -Curt Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:20:41 -0400 From: "WILTON" <wilt...@nc.rr.com> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Wake up!

Hard to get started again and back up on top of it from a full stop buried in it. Fouled plug seemed to occur way too often. No fun man-handling a one-banger Ski-Doo. hat were those engines? Sachs?
