I had two of them and never had no problems , Did no,t get very good gas milage . My second one I piped and trail ported and put duel flatside carbs on it , That heiped the gas and gave it more power out of the hole and midrange , they are good sleds out of the hole up to 60 or so where I have all my fun.

I've had cooling fan problems with mine. I've replaced the bearings more than once and replaced the whole assembly more than once. I've only had it about ten years.
Other than that, It is the old stand by. If the other sleds are broke, that one will start and run when ever I need it.
