some here has got to have some old sled experience
I just picked up a 81 yamaha exciter 440, it wasnt running and he didnt know what the problem was. I checked spark, it was ok. But no fuel, after i replaced the old rotted feul line and gave the engine a shot of feul it fired right up. The engine runs great, although it has 6k miles on it (a little much for a snowmobile i imagine). Anyway, i wrapped up the motor to try and get the thing to move,the clutch looks like its trying to press against the belt but the belt just wont turn. The belt looks to be in pretty rough shape, theres a couple teeth missing and the belt looks like its just plain wore out. This is the problem correct? where can i find an new belt for it and/or other vintage parts for it other than ebay?
