Artic Cat is assembled in the States.
Polaris is assembled in the States.
Bombardier is assembled in Canada.
Yamaha is made in Japan.
The most likely source of an all American manufactured sled would be either Arctic Cat or Polaris.

I bought a 1981 Yamaha Enticer for $900. -250cc single cylinder engine
Then it broke down and I took it to the Yamaha dealer to fix it. They replaced some parts in the carb and charged me $480, and it broke down again after 3 weeks. When I came to a stop and released the throttle, it turned off and would not start again, unless I waited around 50 minutes. After the 50 minutes when I did get it started, I could not get it to Idle. When I would push the more throttle, it would rev up a tiny bit. Then I release the throttle and it turns off after 5 seconds, And can’t start it again. Then I wait another 50 minutes and I can start it, same thing happens- Does not Idle more than 10 seconds. Then another little while and same thing.
Is this because it has to cool off. And when I do wait the 50 minutes, it starts on first pull. Between the time I took it to the Yamaha dealer to the time It broke down, it ran perfectly. (And I did not drive it over 65kph.)
-is it flooded?
-or is it lacking fuel?
-Do I need to adjust something?
Thanks
-I can’t even drive it at all. It just dies out after 1 minute. If I push the throttle more, It dies out a lot sooner. If full throttle, it dies right away.
Maybe a plugged vent line, or / and carb adjustment. And go back to the Yamaha dealer and tell them to test drive it.

I was wondering who makes the motor for the ski-doo snowmobile. or does more then one make their motors?
Actually, more than one makes the motors, for the Ski-Doo Snowmobiles. Lets start, in the early 1960’s… The first Ski-Doo Snowmobiles, had a single cylinder motor, probably, a Sacs, JLO, Kohler, Rotax. The single cylinder motor was used, at least till 1986. It was a strong motor, though it didn’t have much horsepower… About 14 hp, in the first ones, till about 1967. From then, the horsepower, in the single cylinder motors went up, some, and stayed there, till the single cylinder motor was not produced anymore. One other single cylinder that Ski-Doo had was their own make… A Bombarder. This motor, along with the Rotax, is still being made, today, only in a twin cylinder, and triple cylinder motor. The Kohler,Sacs, and the JLO engines also had their time for a twin cylinder, but, they were phased out, eventually.

so, i need a mini camcorder for doing some fun little clips of snowboarding and snowmobiling this winter. i dont know alot about video cameras or the like so im posting here.
so far i have noticed three main contenders
kodak zi6
flip mino hd
and RCA ez300hd
as you can see all are hd up to 720p which i think is kinda nifty, but i guess i dont need it if there is a better quality camera out there
also, my budget is probably gonna be around 250 before taxes, but anything generally around there is fine. and remember, it has to be portables 
thanks
Consider downloading and reading through the camcorder manuals BEFORE you buy. Check the Technical specs typically at the end of the manual. ALL electronics have an "Operating Temperature Range". Go outside the range and expect the electronics to not work - and maybe break.

I live out in the country and i got like 21 acres and tons of trails. I was woundering what is a good snowmobile with alot of power that is used that i can only spend around 1000 dollars on?
First, good stuff aint cheap, and cheap stuff aint good. Find one without too many hours on it. There are many good brands: Ski Doo, Arctic Cat, Suzuki…. Look on Craigslist.com or find a reputable dealer for use machines that will sell one with a guarantee.

snowmobile to be used for hauling firewood, trapline, general backcountry traveling. very remote area, no room for breakdown.
A Ski-Doo Alpine is what you are looking for. These were made, from the early 1970’s, till the late 1980’s. these particular sleds, were made for work. Actually, they were made for the ski lodges, in case someone got hurt, or, if the owners had to haul stuff up or down the ski hill. The Ski-Doo Alpine has two tracks, and, one ski. These things, are a work horse, indeed. They have electric start, and, reverse, as well. One would think, that having only one ski, in front, would be unsteady, though, it is not. I own a 1971 Ski-Doo Alpine, and, it is almost impossible to tip over. Not that I purposely try to tip it over, you understand, but, sometimes, you need to go over snow banks, and, other sleds, can tip over real easy, indeed. Another workhorse, would be a Evinrude or a Johnson snowmobile… A 1968 to a 1970… These sleds, had electric start, wide track and reverse. I have several of these, and, people like them, for ice fishing. I just took my 1969 Evinrude Skeeter, out of storage, and, replaced the spark plugs, and added fresh gas, and, shee fired right up. I was thinking of selling this one, actually. If I were to sell it, I would let it go, for $200. Hope this helps you some.

i’m going on a snowmobiling trip and was wondering if i can use snowboarding boots?? i just dont want to pay more money on boots. is there a big difference between these two?
they look alike…
If it is going to be 10 below zero or colder, don’t wear snowboard boots, I got frostbitten toes in -15 degree weather with my Van boots, so just spend 60 bucks on a good pair of baffins.. http://www.baffin.com/footwear/Polar_Expedition_Series.html … i got a wicked deal on them though, so i don’t know how much they really are, but you’ll stay warm, trust me, i haven’t been cold in -40 below yet

im looking to buy a used snowmobile from a dealer nearby and i saw a nice ski-doo 2008 renegade there that i thought was good but it has 4324 miles on it and they want it for 6,500$ is this a bad deal or is it ok because the sled doesnt have any damage to it. or should i look for a new snowmobile they are selling?
i would try to talk them down a little first and then buy it
