I gave money gram all my info to setup an account, cuz I was going to wire a guy $150 for some snowmobile parts. I then relized that this guy is probably a scamer!!!! This guy already has my phone#, address and e-mail. I haven’t completely setup my account with MG. I still have to confirm my bank account by entering in the exact amount that they deposited in my account.
Since I’ve been waiting for the deposit, I’ve read enough horror stories in the last half hour on how money gram has scammed thousands of people. I don’t want to be one of those people!!!! I shouldn’t have been so foolish and did some research before I gave them all my information, but they seemed legit. Then again what do I know???
My question is…. is it safe with MG having my info or Is it too late to cancel my account? Am I in to deep, now that they have all my info and can give it to anyone?
I am also wondering dose this potential scammer have enough information to make my life a forever living hell? He dosn’t have my middle or last name just my e mail phone # and address. This guy seemed like a real honest guy , until he couldn’t provide me with any pictures and was constantly assuring me that these parts are in mint condition and that I would be satisfied… He originally contacted me through a community snowmobile forum that I had posted a topic that stated "I need parts for such and such snowmobile". The next day he e-mailed me that he had what I needed in mint condition. I asked if there was anyway we could do a money order. Like half now and half when I receive the parts in satisfactory condition, or paypal since I already have an account with them, he replied "no I onley do money gram or via western union" so I figured I’ll setup an account with money gram they seem just as legit as paypal.
I am now backing out of this deal and have not yet wired any money to anyone yet. I’m just worried about MG having all my info!!! What should I do???
You’re right not to wire any money to this guy - definitely smells like a scam. As far as MG having your info, I don’t think you’re in danger. Be sure to check out FBI warnings, ripoff report & complaints board. Here’s a great list of resources for scam-checking:

He has a Skidoo Summit 1000 and it seems to have every problem wrong with it. It has faulty wiring, and fuel and leaks coolant. Are there any good aftermarket parts to fix the skidoo up?
The Summit 1000 may be the worst sled SkiDoo ever made, but there are plenty of things you can do to make it run better - first, find out where the leaks are and if it’s in the hosing or connections simply get new stuff - hosing and clamps are pretty cheap. The wiring can be replaced pretty easily, it might be hard (or impossible) to find aftermarket electronics, but usually SkiDoo electronics don’t have much problem so your friend probably got the one in a hundred that has issues - just get a new OEM system. If you don’t know much about snowmobile mechanic work, find some redneck who likes engines or take it to a small ma-n-pa type shop that will be cheaper than the dealership. If the engine itself has leaks/issues you can take it to a machine shop and they can re-machine the surfaces that seal between the head and engine block.

I have a 1972 Yamaha Snojet SST and I am at the end of rebuilding it. Now at the very end of my clutch after the spring and the weight assembly. Now I’m wondering how i keep these on. The only parts i have left are a bolt that screws into the end of the shaft a small open end ring and a washer with a hook on one side. Also there is a grove about an inch from the end of the shaft and I cannot seem to find out where these go. Any suggestions would be a huge help. Thanks
you put the clutch on the shaft and, using the washer, screw it into place. friction should hold it where you want it. if that’s not it, i misunderstood your question.

For the most part i ride trail, ive had all Ski Doo’s and want to be sure that im not missing out
To be honest, I have never had much luck, with Arctic Cat Snowmobiles… I have had them, since 1964, and, even then, they were not much. On the other hand, I have also had Ski-Doo Snowmobiles, since 1964, and, even though, the Arctic Cats were faster, they were no good in the deep snow. They were ok, on the trails, where they were groomed, but, once you got to where they weren’t, then, they would bog down, and become stuck. Where as the old Ski-Doos, were not as fast, but, they were very good, in the deep snow, and, also where the trails were groomed as well. It seems to me, that any of the sleds that had a single cylinder engine, were better, in some respects. So, to answer your question, I would have to say… The Ski-Doo is better, for trail riding, as well as off the trail.

"I have a 84 KZ1300 that I believe jumped the timing chain. My close friend was going to fix it and we share it but he was killed in a snowmobile accident. The bike has not run for 4 years. What can I get for it either selling whole or parting out and where would be the best place to market."
Located in Northern Illinois just west of I-90 at Ill.Wisc. state line
Try this:

Someone there would love to have it. Tell them you have an ebay auction going and let them bid.
Good luck.
That’s a cool and interesting old bike, but too complicated a restoration for anyone but an expert.

I’m thinking about buying a used snowmobile before winter starts, but i don’t know what to look for when it comes to parts. My friend is selling his 1991 Arctic cat formula, but i’ve had bad luck with buying used items. What do I look for on a used snowmobile, part wise, to ensure it is an alright buy?
1. Make sure it runs! Note that since it hasn’t probably started in a while, this may take several trys.
2. Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick, and make sure the breaks work fine.
3. Check for belt condition (under the hood; the belt is obviously the big ol’ belt). If it is worn, this is typical, but it will cost a tiny bit to get a new one.
3. Check if it has been raced or crashed, as this means it probably has some problems.
4. IF the sled has a non-plastic gas tank, check for any rust, sediment, ect
5. Check the track. This is very expensive to replace. If it is torn in any way, don’t get the sled unless you want to dish out some dough.
