    Hi all, time to part ways with my vintage skidoo. The photos are not of my exact machine- it’s in the barn and I can get photos for you next time I get out there. It should run but will probably need some tlc. Located south of Cleveland Ohio, must come pick it up. Make an offer, no reasonable...

    Hi everyone! Hope someone can point us in the right direction. 1980 Citation 4500 377 replaced both coils and new plugs. Points have been replaced. Sled starts great from cold runs fine for About 5 to 10 minutes and then just dies like you hit the shut off. Idles great as well....anyone have any...

    I bought an '89 Citation in September from a local seller that had it for his grandchildren. When I was looking it over with the guy he mentioned that it had electric start but it didn't work, saying there was something missing 'down there' as he pointed to the clutch side. He mentioned that his...

    Hello! My 1980 Citation 4500E primary clutch is tapered shaft type mount. It has two centrifugal arms with fiber rollers inside. The belt is new OEM. At idle, half the belt is riding on the needle bearing and the other half is riding on the spring seat. You can see the groove wearing into the...

    Anyone happen to have a template for the seat base or perhaps a picture? I bought an 81 4500 Citation with a rotten beyond recognition seat base. I can figure it out for the most part based off the foam alone. However the foam seems to be approximately 1" -1.5" too short for the tunnel. Perhaps...

    Bought some beat up Citations, one 4500 and an SS with a single carb 377 in it. I am looking for new or upgraded clutch springs. I'm an athletic 250 lbs and would appreciate some extra get up and go. Perhaps there are other mods one can do? I see the kimpex site has the Straight Line Products...

    I have a 1979 skidoo citation 300 that has the standard 114 x 15 track and I was thinking about swapping the skid out so I could run a little bit longer more common size track, like maybe a 121 x 15. The reason I want to do this is because the only 114 tracks I can find have 0.5" lugs but that...

    I have a 79 citation 300 that I picked up for $75 that I've ridden for a few years and I love it, but the track is basically a rubber band. Now I also have a 1981? citation 3500 that I picked up for $50 that is kinda a POS but has a much better track on it and I was wondering if the 3500 track...

    Got Bushings! Yep cheaper by the dozen... Anyone ever do a fix on their secondary clutch shaft? Have a smaller size heavy duty snap ring (1-5/16" shaft size) cut the groove a little deeper but also thinking I'll back it with a washer 1-1/4" fits the 1-3/8" shaft pretty good and a 7/8" behind...

    So this is happening now. I know citations are kinda going to "old news" now, but thought I'd see if anyone out there is still tinkering... A little fabrication never hurt anyone I guess eh? 1980 skidoo Citation and the short track was BEAT ! Cut it off and since I had a 4500 sitting with a...

    I got a 1979 Citation 300 2 years ago for $75 and this past fall I've been getting it rally ready. One of the biggest problems it had was the top of the tunnel and the plywood for the seat were wicked rotted so I was just running it without a seat. But I figured this year it'd be nice to sit...

    I am trying to find main jet information on a bunch of my sleds. My eyes are burning after searching for the last couple of hours. Could someone help me out. Main Jet size for 1979 Olympic 340 Single Carb: 1980 Citation SS/Mirage Special dual 1981 Citation 3500/Mirage I single 34 1981...

    Finally got started on my mod sled. I bought the citation last year, which has a 250 in it and this spring I bought a junky Yamaha srv 540, the only good thing on it was the motor. Im going to drop the srv motor in it. Should rip pretty good. Then I bought a 121x1" track and suspension, and duel...

    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...

    Hey everyone, my first post on this amazing forum, I just finished doing way too much work to my Citation (1980 4500, 377) and went to take it for a rip....and its like the clutch wont fully disengage. Even when I'm trying to pullstart it with the belt on it tries to move the track. ANyway...

    I have been thinking of putting a 277 in a bubble nose for years. I now have a pretty rough Citation with a running 277. I see a guy put one in a Elan. Are there major issues other than the exhaust that I would have to worry about? Anyone have a link to a build with a modern engine in a...
