Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

Hi Bruce, getting a new look at the Forum. Been a busy summer in Beaver Dam ,took a 2 week trip to Montana. Got close to Peter's country in Canada. Wish I would have had a little more time to visit him. You are retired now!? Hope you enjoy your time.

Go Pack, talk soon, Randy

Very informational Pete, my brother and I just had just had his motor out of his 600. Went through the whole thing and the carb.(186A) We were also wondering about that fixed jet. Thanks for posting this info. The more we can learn about these carbs the better. With some help of a good friend we got...

Now that's a picture you don't see every day. Your Eliason looks like quite the machine. I have never seen one of those before. Another beautiful restoration you did. Were was that machine originally made. Good thing the Husskis stopped you or it looks like you would have went right over the hill an...

Very cool video. Looks like a fun machine. Thats what my brother wants to do with a machine if we ever get a good project unit. Hope we get good snow this winter.

Looks like the project is coming along nicely. You have very detailed and informative posts. I enjoy reading them and they are very helpful to myself and I'm sure many people. Keep up the excellent work. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

You must have been very surprised and excited the first time you saw it. You are going to have to build yourself ...

I ordered the primer bulbs using the Briggs and Stratton #494408. I found a place on E-Bay and got 5 pcs.(black) for $7.95/free shipping in the U.S. Now I have a couple extra. They came last week , I tried one turning it inside out and it looks and works good. You have to watch what you order becaus...

That looks like alot of fun Barrie. We are having another bad year for snow in southern Wisconsin. Going to have to travel 3/4 hrs. north to find some good snow to play in.
Maybe we will get some snow in Feb.

This is a beautiful restoration of a 444. I haven't seen this project on the forum before. I realize it has been done a few years back. There is so much info on this site that it is hard to see it all. I wish I would have found this when I was doing mine as I was also an amateur in doing my 444 . I'...
