95 Arctic cat 600
Does anyone have some info on these? I can't seem to find anything but adds for them on the internet. I can pick one up that is in decent shape other than it won't start for $100. It ran before the guy parked it (about 4 years ago) and now it will pull over but won't fire.

$100 sounds like a good deal.
Pull the carbs off and clean the float bowls and jets. fill it with fresh gas and put in new spark plugs.
If it starts, then give it a full servicing, lube the clutches, steering, suspension, change the chaincase oil, check the brakes, top off the coolant.
This is all general snowmobile maintenence stuff, but that era of cats were generally pretty decent sleds.

exactly as fordzilla says, clean those carbs!! just picked up two old sleds last week a 1980 and an 1995 freebies both just needed the carbs cleaned to fire and lots of other tlc.
100 bucks for a 600 cat, what a deal!!

That is what I figured. The worst I can see happening is mice have gotten to the wireing and even then that shouldn't be to much to deal with if the sled is worth fixing. I am going to look at it later tonight or Thursday. I have a friend going tonight and if he is going to turn it over and check for spark. If that is good then I will pick it up for sure.
