Hey
Well i am new to the forum. I just aquried a rupp yankee i think its a 340. I want to restore it. I have alredy started some work on it. I am having some problems with it. I noticed that only one plug is firing. I test both coils they are good. What is my next step? Should Pull the fly wheel? Check the points can you clean points? Or do I have to get news ones. Well i have a little experice on small engines rode dirt bikes for a couple years did all my repairs on my own. But i am still a newbie. Weree do you guys get your parts? I know iwill end up needing a hood its kinka cracked and i know i need a track. Any help would be great.
Thanks
mike

Mike, first off....welcome to the best snowmobile site on the net! SWRules
There are some links below that may be of help to you, and I'm quite sure some of the vintage owners will chime in and offer thier assistance as well.
Again, welcome to SW, and best of luck with your restoration of a good ol' girl.
