| July 23/2004 - Latest addition to the Puma Family 1970 760 JLO FC Mod It runs now and has a NOS back rest, but the remainder of the sled needs more than a tune up. Model 760 JPM 102 Produced |
| February 16/2005 1970 Puma 760 JLO FC Mod I have put 30 - 40 miles on this beast so far this winter. It takes 2 men and a boy to pull it over but is well worth the effort when it thunders to life. The engine will be taken down shortly and it would be great if all it needed is crank seals. I am hoping the whole sled will be restored for next winter. There is nothing to indicate this sled was ever raced. |

| Interesting Sled ? 1971 Puma 340Z Engine Model # T1A Z3 Sled Model # 340 AZ PU 94 made F.C. Kawasaki twin single HD 62A carb, stock muffler, also provisions for a second impulse line. |
| This sled was found by my son, "Darrell", in a sled salvage yard in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The outward appearance and under the hood glance indicates nothing other than a stock 1971 Puma 340 Kawasaki, the same as I purchased new in 1971. The ID plate indicates something quite different though. Informed sources tell me this sled was a "Super Stock" limited production and is quite rare. I had heard of them but had never actually seen one. The motor is modified by Kawasaki similar to the 1971 EXT, and with pipes and twin carbs will run with or out perform the FA series. The sled is really in not that bad condition although the crankshaft seems to need some attention. Needless to say the sled will be kept for restoration. |
