    So a few laps around the yard, and running good. Then it started running out of power (after a couple minutes idling). I shut it down for a couple hours, and it fires right up... I get it back to the shop. Pics are of the tank vent. Is this OEM? It seems very small (maybe .050"). The hose...

    So I'm working on a 1996 Rotax 377 in a Scandic. Ducati ignition system. So the engine abruptly died. No spark. Measured stator and trigger, all values were within spec. So ordered a new coil/CDI (SPI brand). Got a weak spark, now and then, so no success. Because the sled was outdoors when I...

    My 1993 Skandic II 377 has Mikuni carbs VM 34 428 on PTO side and VM 34 429 on mag side. What is the difference between these two carbs? Also, does anyone have info for the factory settings. Can’t find any info on these carbs.

    From what I understand, the 447’s are prone to cylinder damage and its pretty rare to find replacement jugs for them. I also have heard that the 447 engines are identical to the 377 (which are a dime a dozen). Has anyone had success with puting jugs/pistons from a 337 into a 447? Is it that...

    Hey guys, So I have a 1994 Safari 377 for my girlfriend, but she always has trouble keeping up with the larger sleds. I was just wondering if you guys have any ideas of what I could do to make it a bit quicker? I know I am not going to turn it into a 600, but I am just looking for anything that...

    Hello all, got a 1980 Mirage II with a 377. Previous owner said sled didn't run. Took the motor apart and nothing looked terrible, except the crank seals looked like they were done. Rebuilt the motor with new seals, pistons, condensers, plug wires. Compression is over 100, both sides...

    I am currently sprucing up my 85 SkiDoo Safari 377E for my 8 yr old grandson. He looks at my sleds....[2] 04 500SS GSX's.....and always wants what is on them. I hooked up a shield heater plug and have put heated grips on as well. It is where to get power for the grips that I am looking for...

    I've recently re-visited an old project. This is a school technology class project that has been in progress off & on for several years. However, I am determined to see it move under it's own power and groom some ski trails. The project started several years ago when a local community member...

    Hey out there, smarter people than me, I was hoping this wasn't the case, but after being a good little boy and doing some reading in the forums here I've come to the conclusion that my crank bearing is shot. When I had the engine out i didn't notice any grinding or wiggle in the shaft but I...

I'm swapping the 377 out for a 503 that came out of a 1980 Everest. The 503 is a single carburetor model and I'm wondering if I...
