340cc snomobile question?

[diabetik11]

so i can get a snowmobile for $60 it is a older stinger 340. it says all it needs is a fuel line then run it as is. what you guys think, should i get. its only $60

who makes stinger snowmobiles? is it Ski doo?

[mud_n_fun]

That's a deal get it!

[Drifter_016]

I can't buy a case of beer for $60, I'd buy it!!!!

[diabetik11]

but mud i don't have all the tools you got to fix up stuff like you. i saw your shack build and your snowmobile build. by the way the look great. how much do you think a fuel line is?

[mud_n_fun]

If it has a rear tank- less than $20 if it's a front tank less than $10.

 I think a stinger is made by Scorpion .... A fuel line is cheap hose that you get @ the hardware store ... For $60. I'de jump on it

do it up

[Mainehazmt]

go for it  you could scrap it out and make more $$ if nessisary

[Tainterslayer]

Fuel line is cheap. You can find it at any good auto/hardware store.  I'm guessing its going to be about 30 cents a foot.

buy fuel line from dennis kirk or such. you can get 5' for 3.99 i believe.
i use the blue stuff. napa local to me sells the yellow stuff and its expensive! a foot of each cost me more from napa then i can get 5' from dennis kirk shipped to my door. only difference is i can get it from napa any day i want. for $70.00 you could have a running sled. on the other hand if it needs more then just a fuel line then you could be screwed.
if all it needs is a fuel line then why didnt seller fix it? seems very cheap asking price for a sled that just needs a "fuel line". if it needs more then that are you able to fix it yourself or are you going to dish out more cash to have someone else do it? id get alittle more details from the seller.
when was the last time it was run?

[skidooguy]

also check to see availability of parts. what if it needs other stuff? i beleive scorpian went under in the early eighties.

 It's never as simple as just a gas line and be able to trust it to get you back off the lake! Been there done that 2hrs later....
 It is probally made by Scorpion (originally Trail-a-sled) but there was another company that also called on of their models Stinger (can't remember the name). Both companies are out of business and their sleds are hard to find parts for and can get pricey fast.
 If its a Scorpion it should have a red metal flake or black with red stripped hood and a tag on back right side of the tunnel with either Scorpion or Trail-a-sled on it.
 There is a website with info, pictures, and links to possibly find parts it's called SCORPION TRAILS. Here's the link http://www.trailasled.com/index.php
 
Great little sleds I still use mine and always looking for another!

buy it for $60.  it is made by scorpion.  you also might have to rebuild the carb and I would definitely buy a in-line filter to put on before the line hits the carb because you never know how much gunk is in those old tanks.
