After bringing my 1962 (more or less) snow trac to vermont i finally got a chance to drive it. i confess i had a little trouble (stalled it a few times and it did not idle well (most likely needs a little carb adjustment) I do have a lever that says throttle control (another one for choke) which helped with the idle. My trails are a bit narroiw for its 8'+ width so i need to do a little more widening with my chainsaw (anyone need firewood!). once we get a decent amount of snow i will post some new pictures. but here are my questions (i have looked around the forum but i have not had luck in finding the answers though i am sure they are out there somewhere)
1. it seems to like to run between 3500 and 4000 rpm would that be correct? or is that to
high?
2. today i pulled the throttle lever (next to the choke lever) to bring the idle rpm up
so it did not stall all the time. is that ok? i still experience a loss of power on
occasion. going up a steep hill and making a sharp turn.
3. is it ok to put in dry gas?
4. do you recommend regular gas. premium gas or super gas? should i only use gas without
ethanol?
5. the lever on the left that says left turn, right turn. is that for if you break your variator belt? or just making sharp turns?
6. how come sometimes when i turn it takes longer for the rig to turn than others? i read that you need to start turning early so i worked on that but a few times it just did not want to turn for some reason.
i know some of you are biting your lips and holding back on giving me a hard time (i have read a lot on this forum, but any advice is appreciated.
