1972 Polaris Colt 295 Twin, Free-air, cletted track, ran on one one cylinder for yrs (Old man was to cheap to replace the coil) I replaced it when I was 14, would do 55 mph any day, but when i it was cold out and the motor was still cold, would beat a 77 TX-340 or TX-440 for a half a mile, then back to 55 Mph.. I cann't drive 55 !?!?!?
Blew the motor in it, had like 9000 miles on it and sold it at an auction

1970 - 320 olympic single I guess, had to pull the carb apart everytime I wanted to ride it, the needle and seat kept sticking, even after after replacing? somtin to do with purple fuel maybe??? Anyway, that was about 28 yrs ago? Later I traded a few Chevy go fast goodies for a Merc 440 trail twister with a blown motor and a 440 rupp engin that I bolted in. That baby would fly.... Had a lot of fun on that sled.... pretty reliable too?
