I’m going to look at a 1996 skidoo formula 3 600 for $400 is not running right now but the guy has a video of it running, he says it probably needs a carb cleaning. Is it a good deal. What should I look for or look at

Check the compression. If low it won't be worth fixing unless you have a motor laying around for it.

What should the compression be

 

[stevem5215]

125 - 135 anything lower than 110 would be bad.

what if it’s above 135 is that bad

 

[stevem5215]

Low is bad higher is good.

Low is bad higher is good.

Do you think the front bumper being pushed in and the hood be scratched is some thing I should be concerned about

[stevem5215]

No thats just a scratch. We like to say "that will buff right out"

So did you purchase that Skidoo? What was the compression test result?
