It is sort of odd that they would close off the front grill to prevent the engine from cooling???

the engine dosn't cool through th efrot just another way for air to escape i have thaught about doing this with mine as in storms i have wound up with so mugh ice on the carb the throttle sticks and water in the distributor

Jim,

Mine did this as well, but since the addition of the slanted vertical piece I made it has not happened. I tried to replicate the original piece from pics of it I found on this forum. By using this piece above and behind the front air vent (grill) you don't have to block this off to get the same efect. This the way the factory intended it to be as well....JMHO....


What's with the pipe assembly at the base of the windshields on this machine?? anyone have a clue??

Regards, Kirk

Bob im guessing those box's are battery boxes and that pipe must be a conduit to connect the batterys together this iditarod was plenty rough i found i had to suck air off one of the heater boxes to keep the carb from freezing up now i plan to build a heat exchanger on the tail pipe so i can have enough carb heat to keep the carb thawd

The bombi that I have has an intake in the cab.

Did anyone see what it sold for?
The last bid I saw was for 5,000.00

 

[unclebuck4571]

Don I was the successfull bider. $ 7,000.00 and a bit, I wanted some one else in my area to have one for company so my first one is for sale. I will rebuild this one for a hoby. Transportation will be expensive but what the hell live is short. Bob.
