Help!

Hi all! I just picked up an old Skidoo and am looking for more info on it so I can get it running again. *For one thing, I'm not exactly sure of the year. *The guy I bought it from says it's a 1973. *There is a plate on the left rear that has the patent numbers on it, and it says 1973, but on the right rear, there is another plate that is stamped with 1979. *The sled is yellow and has "SS" decals on the sides. *It was made in Quebec, CA. *There are air scops on the top of the cowl along the right side. *The engine is a twin with two Mikuni carbs. *The serial number is 3155 00826. *ANy help would be appreciated! *Thanks

From the limited info, I would guess it's a 1980 Citation SS. *It has a 377 with twin carbs. *Does it have oil injection? *What color is the hood? *If it's yellow w/ a black stripe to the left of the headlight, it's likely the Citation SS.

It could possibly be an OLYMPIQUE model. *With the 300cc twin or 399cc twin maybe.

With the serial # and Ski-Doo's CD you can tell what it is. Is the engine liquid or air cooled? Ski-Doo's RV250 also sounds like a possibility for '73/74 year. On the eng above the starter cup there should be a tag with engine serial# and cc size. What does it say?

Zog is right the first 4 numbers of the serial number is the model number. *The 3155 goes to the 80 Citation SS. *The 826 is the sled production number or ID number.

The R/V 250 was only made in 76

Thanks for the info. *I believe it is a 1980 Citation SS, judging from the responses here and from an email I got from Bombardier. *Now I just need to find some parts... hood, windshield, track, etc... *Thanks again.

spectrex: The 80 SS Citation uses a short track compared to the 4500 of the same year, be careful when you order one Dino.

Where do you live *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif I have a hood, and a coupple of engine parts for a citation 377 1980.

My advice to you would be to go to * *www.vintageskidoo.com and go to each year you think the sled might be. They usually have pictures of just about every ski-doo sled and it is categorized by year. hope this helps.
