Getting back to snowmobiles, I'm really outdated...., just bought used 93 Artic cat Pantera 550 EFI with approx 4,000 M. Looking for experiences and those folks that could provide me their opinions, tips and those things to watch for.

Hey all,
First post in a long time. I just bought an older sled after many years without one. This is a lot newer than the sleds that I had years ago so I am hoping that someone can give me some advice.
I just picked this up last night and haven't had a chance to really look at it much yet...
