Default MB + snow

Finaly it came some snow, 3 dm, little to deep for the MB but I managed to find a spot that was cleared of some snow.
This time I managed to get som pictures, enjoy.

Last ones.
Best part is no cleaning, just let it dry in the shower.

Thats pretty cool. It looks just like a real snow crawler somewhere in the artic.

Thanks for the pics.

Oh and if you could use rubber o-rings on the chains that way they would stay tight.

Heh, looks just like mine. Only trouble is that the carburetor seems to froze up. I mean that the throttle gets so much snow and ice in it so it gets stuck. Thats not very funny when the throttle is on full load.. Those snow chains are easy to make by yourself.

The chains are homemade, works real fine and they are not that hard to make.

Veron: Sure, but I think the postage could be high because of the weight. Send me a PM if you are intrested.

Fin-Chef: I had the same problem first to. But there is an easy solution to that, the snow builds up on the right side of the carb. If you take a thin piece (0,5mm) of alu or simular cut it roughly 5*10 cm, bend it around a bottle. Mount it with one of the insex bolts on the pullstart, tada a snowcover.
I'll try to post a picture of it later.

Thanks, it is a bit hard to take pictures at the same time driving. All pictures were not that good

Sorry, no vid dont have any videocamera.

I put on the 'cold air feed' because that the snow got clogged around the airfilter and the engine died. I noticed one other thing, the air filter stays clean longer, no mud.
It is a radiator hose from a car attached to a fg air filter silencer (6464/2), have not noticed any loss in performance so far.
