Hill Climb Coordinator for Arctic Cat Inc.
I work and build snowmobiles in the Race Dept. The main job is building ECU programs for hill climb sled.
The CH701 I built has a 3 cylinder 660 turbo Suzuki engine from a snowmobile. It runs very well.

    Al,
    A very interesting engine installation. I would enjoy hearing the details about the engine and the performance of it. I currently run a Vw powered 701 with a belted redrive that performs really well. I will be away until the 28th and I will check my mail then.

    nice job Al
    I am working on restoring my 701. I have chosen the yamaha apex attach engine.
    I see that you went with a belt drive. how does that work with the high reving Suzuki engine?

    Al, Your 701 looks great. How does it fly? I am working on a 750. I am going to put a 0200 continental in it. Hope the weather is getting warmer where you are. St Cloud has had cold as well. Larry
