I go by Lynxer and I am a vintage snowmobile enthusiast. Always kind of liked mini bikes and being I am from Minnesota it had to be an Arcitc Cat. I was given this little Arctic Cat Prowler. It is in tough shape and there isn't much there, but I have the time and the ability to fix it up. I dont plan on making a show bike, but it would be nice to have it respectable. I have figured out that my bike came with a 50cc (47) Sachs Saxonette engine. I need an engine, but from what I have gathered these engines are expensive and hard to find. I have found one from a oldminibikes member for about 500.00 That is witht he pipe and all bolt it in and go. I like the sound of that, but I could rebuild one myself too. Are there any alternative engines I could run with out completly ruining the bike? Maybe someday I could run accross a saxonette and drop it in. So I would like to refrain from cutting and welding, but my bike is definitly not any prize and it was cheap free! Looking for some guidence.
