VINTAGE 1980 Yamaha Enticer Gets Former Glory REVIVAL — $500 Cheap Snowmobile Challenge

I bought this 1980 Yamaha Enticer 300 snowmobile project to go do wintery snow things with ‪@JunkyardDigs‬ and crew at the 2023 Chetek Winter Fest in Wisconsin this February (link below). I found the snow machine on Facebook Marketplace for a pretty fair $500 seeing as it was complete, runs, and looks like a ton of fun. This is my first snowmobile experience; let's see if we can't resurrect the once abandoned beast with some budget upholstery work, cleaning, polish, and a couple spark plugs — will it run around the yard and look good doing it?

Nice find Dalton!- I'm Canadian- we know sleds, these little guys used to rip through snow where the bigger boys couldn't- other then the seat, this is in amazing condition! If you replace all bolts and screws with stainless, it'll last forever! Grats!

I like the snow suit.

I grew up riding a 1980 Enticer 340. Same sled pretty much. Lots of fun and tough to kill! Japan built these babies tough!

Another reason I love watching your videos is. When I was younger I worked for my friend who was more like family. His shop was just like yours. Made of tin. When it got that shop was colder than a meat locker. He passed away a few years ago and every time I watch your videos I think of him. He was funny just like you. He heated that place with a wood burning stove. Every once in a while he would throw a piece of inner tube in it and it would make that stove turn bright red from the heat. I’d just shake my head.

FYI that "sissy bar" is actually called a yoink bar. If you get it stuck, you use that to yoink it out of whereever it's stuck at. 😂

I think that is a great starter sled, try not to do too much 'dry' riding, the track sliders need the snow for lubrication. Have a great time with Kevin and Mook Riding next month!!

My first sled was a 79 enticer 300 in white. Awesome little sprint sled, didn’t like deeper snow though. But this is how the addiction starts. I currently don’t have a sled, not much use for one in Arkansas, but have a half dozen atv’s, a side by side and bikes. Thinking about getting a few sleds again to take to Colorado. You’ll want an 8,10,12mm wrench, flat and Phillips, pliers and plug wrench. Always make sure your spare belt is good and carry extra fuel pump, some fuel line, clamps and emergency pull rope.
