I put on 13 miles last night.  It was the first sustained running of the sled since I finished it.  It ran great at all speeds.  It starts on the first pull every time with two pumps of the primer.  I broke in the vintage snowmobile suit, mittens and helmet too.  The suit and gloves are very good quality and kept me warm.  The helmet is going to take some getting used to.  My 15 year old son rode the 1980 Ski-Doo.  We had a good ride!!  We just had 8 inches of new snow. 

I feel confident that I can put some serious miles on the old Kawi now!!
