    Are you racing the sled on ice? I would rig up slide lubers or drill a few small holes on the slide rails so snow can build up in there and it will keep the slides cooler and prevent melting. Other than the coil problem...mentioned before, the 292 kawasaki's were good motors. Grease the rear suspension also and check the drive bearings( inspect and re-grease) those two are pretty generic for any old sled.

    These are good old sleds. That 292 has more potential then what you think. can easily be changed from stco 24hp to 30 hp without any porting involved. I have a 292 lynx that I race . I have a blast driving it. Heres a pic of mine

    those 292's really fly. I have one in a lynx that I race. I saw one run 62mph in 1000' on ice, it was not modded, i swear!.
