A walkaround of my vintage 340 Sno Jet snowmobile

A quick look at one of my fav’s. 1977 340 SST Sno*Jet. Reliable yamaha 340 piston port engine, single mikuni carb, fully greaseable suspension, 116×15 track. sst’s were CDI ignition (Astro’s were points). Very simple sled to work on, and its not cramped under the hood either!! Owned last 3 yrs. Purchased as a package deal on ebay. Rebuilt motor and did other tear down clean-up procedures (fuel, suspension, etc). Not planning on doing a restoration. This is a daily driver (when there is good snow!) Bought it at 1098 miles, now has 2213 as of 2-09-07. I’ve taken this to Grand Lake, CO and she runs great the whole time. Re-Jet and re-clutch it of course. I’ve got a spare Kawi hex clutch that is set for mountain riding, and a spare carb set for high altitude. Swap those 2 parts out and I’m ready to ride. Max speed is about 65 mph. Might hit 70 with optimum conditions, good hardpark, fresh plugs, etc. This one of my favorite sleds. Very light, easy to zip through the trees. Hope you enjoyed looking. See ya on the snow.

  7. merckid35 says:

    your voltage regulator is probably gone bad or is missing

  16. chazfensk says:

    Nice! Thanks for posting.

  17. zumiez82 says:

    nice sled i have the same exact one but a 440

  18. 96pacer says:

    I have the same sled, but I’m missing the carb. I know it takes a 34mm Mikuni, but do you have any other info on the carb? There are a lot of different 34mm Mikunis out there.

  19. gotzac says:

    Any 34 mikuni will work, as long as you match the internals (main jet, pilot, side cutaway, etc). If you want to really bump it up, find a PowerJet carb! It’ll take some tuning, but you can make a single carb 340 come to life! Have fun!

    Real nice video, nice job!

  21. briggs5sboy says:

    its almost like they designed it and then realized… we should probably have a headlight on there

  22. kawasakisleds79 says:
