Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

I try to shut the fuel tank valve off after each ride and that helps prevent air lock in line too. Just gotta remember to open it each time though. LOL. I have forgot to do that before !

The initial adjustments are: first close both idle and high speed screws gently. do not force into seats. open high speed screw 1 1/4 turns. open idle screw 3/4 turn. back off throttle screw until it is just contacting lever, then turn in 2 full turns to open throttle shutter slightly.

Hey, Nice job on the carb cover! I own and ride both Hus-Skis and Diablos and have gone through several succesful carb rebuilds.When starting with a fresh, dry carb, I pull the fuel line off the carb and get all the air out of line by lowering it below tank level into a small container to catch fuel...

Hi Bruce,Yeah, was not sure if you had any from the first run. I have half a dozen machines that need this part.As well as fenders. I did drop off a chassis to copy at a local fabricator 7 years ago and he began making some different parts. He passed away tragicly and I picked up some complete and s...

You are going to need one of the motor mount pans like Bruce has the pattern for.( on another topic on this forum) I am considering havi...

Hi Bruce, would it be possible to get some of these again?

True, then you have the brake style decision. And clutches. The 444 is better in both those. More so the clutches.It is def faster to grab the brake handle on the 444 than the 200/400.

Hi Bill, You cant go wrong by putting the right jackshaft mount and housing in. Since the tracks and under part are all done nice, I would either put it back to a 200-A, but then you would have to have the smaller motor; or you could change the motor mount rails to a 400/444 type and put the 252 in ...

Very exciting ! Cool location too! Thanks Bruce for this awesome site as well as all the parts produced to keep these machines moving.

I am not sure, but it sounds like you automatically became a member when you purchased a new Hus-Ski. I wonder if you got one of those patches from the dealer? Most of all the early ads for Hus-Ski were more focused on it being more for hunting, fishing, trapping, checking remote areas. I guess that...
