MOTO SKI - MINI SNO - 338 CC HIRTH
Hi David - To
the best of my knowledge, there is no factory literature showing a 338
CC mini sno,
no listing in
any factory parts or service manuals, and no listing in any of the
aftermarket service
manual such as the intertec service manual.
Differences
from the 223 cc JLO mini sno ....
The exhaust hole
in the chassis in front of the engine for the 223 mini sno is covered and
a donaldson tuned muffler is
used on the 338
cc model which is located in front of the orange right foot rest bracket.
(
SEE PICTURE # 4 )
A metal guard
on the right side goes from the hood to the running board so your foot
can not touch the muffler.
There is no engine
cover like the 223 cc mini sno model.
The 338 cc engine
is taller, hood is cut out for the taller 338cc.
Clutch guard
is the same as the larger models. On the 223 mini sno, the clutch guard
was part of the engine cover.
The 338 cc model
came with a speedo on the left side of the hood.
The 223 cc model
did not have a speedo and there is no listing in parts book for it.
The 338
cc came with a 12 tooth top sprocket. The 223 cc came with a 10 tooth top
sprocket .
The key switch
was in the engine cover on 223 mini, no engine cover on 338 cc.
On the 223 cc
model, the key switch is located in the tool box cover in front of the
seat.

My
best guess is some of the larger us distributors got a few 338 mini sno
models, the rest remained in canada.
I heard several
times approximately 50 were built I have no way of confirming that, (sure
wish i did).
Maybe after you
post the pics and info, someone with more info details etc. will respond.
on the id tag
the 338 has a R in the model number, 223 mini does not have the R.
