There are quite a number of vintage snowmobile sites centred around Eganville, Ontario, where they have a big festival every year.

Google "Ski-Doo Alpine", "Eganville", "forum" and you should get some hits.

juju bead,I certanly hope you can help. thanks. about 3 weeks ago I took it out for the 1st. time this season. after about 4 miles it started missing on 1 cylinder so I headed for home on remaining cylinder. got about 2 miles from home heard a pop and it died completly. It had no compression on eather cyl. Hauled it home and took off head. found piston rings had broken up on 1st. cyl and hole on top of 2nd. cyl to fail. That explains the pop noise. jugs were ok with a good honing so ordered new pistos and rings from dealer and asked him what he thinks went wrong. He sked if I had put stableizer in tank last spring. I ssaid I did. He ssked if I had put fresh gas in this year .I said I did not. He took carbs apart and determined I had 2 problims #1 the carbs had wrong jets in for my area ( so. Mn) they were to small. said people changed them to get better performance out of them. I bought the 1999 machine used in 2003. 2nd. problem was using last years gasstill in tank. So $411 later I had the thing together and it run perfect. then weather turned cold and I did not ride untill today. 25 above. This time I got 3 mi. down the road and heard the familier pop. I shut it down imedeatly and hauled it home. I have no compression on one cyl. and suspect I burned a hole in top of piston again. I have not pulled head yet to confirm. What is happoning? apairently dealers thoughts were wrong so what is it. thankyou for your interest nd I apoligise to tactor talk people for cluttering your forum with a nonrelated problem. flying belgian....

As the other guys have said, you may have a blown crank seal. Makes them run way to lean. Also might have an oil pump on the oil injection that is not working. If it were just blowing up on one side I would think crank seal, If it is blowing both sides I would think no oil.

Check the side crank seal on the side with the blown piston. If its bad it will let air in causing a lean mixture.

Running too lean. Need to richen up the mixture to cool down the exhaust gases. Cold air is more dense and requires more fuel. Maybe running too hot heat range plug.... Gene
