In a recently held old dog run on the Tug hill,(NEW YORK STATE) we had ten Scorpions represented. 1969-1975. All but one completed the ten mile run from rector road groomer barn to the montague Inn and back. Lots of fun!

i have a 80'' whip 440, bought it with a hole in #1 piston. rebuilt it completely, but crank, new seals, pistons, rings clips, all the good stuff. it ran great for a couple days. plugs showed great mixture on #2 then lean on #1, with one carb this just isnt clicking for me. long story short i popped #1 again, same whole, same place. i think its the timing, gonna rip it apart tomorrow. does anyone have the stock jet sizes? and/ or any imput on this problem, sounds typical. (Cuyuna JLO 440, walbro carb)

Also I am starting to build an updated version of the tk whip. ifs front,6-10 inch travel for rear. High performance 440 cuyuna or 430 liquid. I need technical assitance with Cuyuna motor specs.

My dad farmed, and supplemented his income working for a neighbor that had a scorpion dealership in Glenville Mn. From early 1970''s till scorpions end, he had bought and rode every model. 1975 he rode his 440 whip over 3400 miles, that season and passed it down to me.In 1987 he sold his last sled,that was a cat. He started with a polaris little andy. In 1967, his freind and brother went to Yellowstone, and rode south gate to west gate. The park ranger said he never saw anyone riding little machines out there. He made that trip with a snowjet. After 24 yrs not having a snowmobile myself, My wife and I have bought 4 scorpions, my son 4 machines. We are into classic scorpion snowmobile. I really enjoy all the history in this site, Thank you.

I am restoring a 1975 Whip 400 with a rockwell, walbro pumper set up. I am in the reassembly stage had the carb rebuilt and am replacing all the fuel lines. I cant find where the walbro carb integrated pump hooks up to the crank in order to recieve the vacume pressure it needs. The pump is built in to the top of the carb and has a hose fitting. dors anyone know where the hose would run to in order to get the vacume needed to drive the pump I cant seem to find it anywhere on the engine, would appreciate any help thanks.

I am selling a 1975 Whip 340 in immaculate condition. This sled has been gone through from front to back and is perfect. It has 891 miles and hasn''t been on the trails for since the 80''s. My dad was a Scorpion dealer in central MN for many years, and this was the last sled he had. It was kept under covers in his shed until his death a couple years ago. I brought the sled home with me, and my neighbor did all the work to clean it up to its current condition.
Please contact me if interested and I''ll send pictures.
This is a must-have for the collector seeking the perfect gem. One look and you''ll want this Whip.
It''s great to see the memories and history of Scorpion live on. I had a blast growing up with these sleds, driving up to Crosby to pick up a truckload and have them sell as fast as we could set them up. They were fast and furious machines, and it was fun to grow up on the trails.
Thanks for your interest and the post.

There is a pic in the image section of this great website of my Dad sitting on the Odd Job racer. He showed me that picture years ago and told me that Ken Dekat, Roger Ebert, and himself were test running the sled on round lake, near Nisswa, MN. The reason I believe that is him is in that picture is I recognize that Helmet. I still have it! I wish they would credit him as the guy in that photo.

my dad dave peterson and good friend roger larson sold, serviced and raced scorpions in
star prairie wi. we have restored many scorpions over the years. our old 634 stinger is in mr.harrison''s collection.
After many years away from the sport, 69 years young roger larson has re-kindled the passion. he and i have bought back as many scorpions as we can find and Roger has started racing again! Roger raced and tuned many scorpions in the 70''s. this summer he raced our original 634 mod stinger w/megaphones in rhinelander wi, princeton mn and duluth mn. along with 5 other stock sleds! The 634 was modified in marshfield wi 39 yrs ago! Roger was very fast this summer with it! also, his original 72 440 was tough to beat. our 74 400 super stinger also had many wins. 10 year old erin peterson, grand daughter of dave also had wins on a lil'' whip. What a memorable summer! To see Roger and Dave back at the races was neat. If you see these two scorpion icons at a race, show or at crosby, make sure to say hi!

Art Davis was Scorpions top dealer for three years in a row, I still have the plaques. He is gone now but I will never forget how hard he worked late nights in the garage so our family and friends could ride the trails that we carved out, by hand, in the summer in Jay Cooke State Park.

Long story short, this project and this snowmobile will live on as an landmark and milestone in the local and national music scenes. It is the first of hopefully many Scorpion restorations that will, in the long run, raise money for music education.

It appears that I can''t edit my previous entry so I will do it this way. With te flood of memories this web site brought to me I was thinking of all the people I knew and I mis-spoke when I said that I started working for Great Lakes Scorpion, it was Snowmobile Sales Inc. of Marshfield Wi.
sorry about that.

You can contact me by return e-mail or I can be contacted by phone at 780-913-4490.
Thank you for your assistance.

I was a partner in a Scorpion Dealership in 1967,68 and 69 in Lodi Wisconsin. In 1970 I went to work for Great Lakes Scorpion the distributor for Wisconsin, the UP and Northern Illinois. I was the Rep for Southern Wisconsin until the spring of 1974. In April of 1974 I moved to Hayward Wisconsin and became the Rep for Northern Wisconsin and the UP. Scorpion purchased most of the Independent Distributors in 1975 and was hired by Scorpion Inc. in 1975. In 1977 I was transfered to Barrie Ont. to head up Scorpion''s Eastern Canada operations. In late 1979 I returned to Crosby to take over as manager of the Parts Garmets and Accesories divison and was there until the end of Scorpion, in the spring of 1980. Of all the changes that Scorpion went through, the best was when Harvey Paulson took over. He was a true professional in every way and was the best thing that happened to not only Scorpion. but to the snowmobile industry in general. If anyone is looking for part numbers I have all the manuals from 1968 on and would be glad to help. Long live the memories of Scorpion and all they did to promote snowmobiling.

My first sled was a Stinger 290, then graduated up to a 1972 400, ran them both till my Dad and bro ran out of parts. They sold scorps till 75-76. An all white 440 superstinger was the last one my bro raced in the maritimes back in the day, he did well with it. If I could find a couple of Bull whips for sale i would snap them up in a heart beat, my bro would kill to ride a scorp newer than 1976, awsome site, certainly brought the old scorp fever back!

My Uncle used to sell Scorpion''s out of Willow River,mn in the late 60''s to mid-70''s Jaros Scorpion Sales and Service, until he was killed in a sledding accident in 1975. I sure had a blast hanging around the shop and riding brand new sled''s. Any info. on decals would be greatly appreciated. Happy Trail''s, Steve

Having spent my Jr-Sr High school years living in Crosby, in the hay days of Scorpion, this site brings back memories like a good song from your past. I haven''t kept in touch with the Crosby crew, but I plan on being at the ''09'' Homecoming.
I sold off my collection in 2000, but plan on starting again this year!
Truly the best years of my life were spent on a Scorpion snowmobile.
Thank you Harrison family and all those responsible for this site.
See you in Feb!

I own 3 Scorpion Snowmobiles. The first one was purchased back in 1969 by my oldest brother and my dad. I will never forget the anticipation our family had the day they went to town to pick it up from our local dealer, Beazer Fuel. It is a Mark III 300 and if I remember correctly, cost about $1100.00 new. The next machine is a 1970 stinger with the red metal flake hood that was bought used by another one of my brothers. He later sold it to me for $200.00. The third machine is a 1971 340 Super Stinger racing machine, red metal flake wedge hood design, with open vents to provide cooling for the CCW free air engine and tuned pipe. It was originally owned by a local racer and we bought it from him back in the early seventies for $300.00 All three of these machines run today. Each of my children have grown up riding these machines and my son and I continue to have a blast on them. Just last month we had a lot of snow here and school was called off. My son spent the afternoon on the 1970 Stinger crusing around the neighborhood giving his friends rides and getting the thumbs up from all kinds of people. Thanks for bringing back a little bit of history and great memories with this web site. And a special thanks to all the people involved in building the kind of quality snowmobiles that have lasted through three generations in our family. Thanks so much!

I have recently acquired a 1973 Scorpion Stinger 440 WT. The sled runs and sounds decent. I do need some help in locating a windshield, the center console cover along with a headlight assembly and tail light assembly. The sled came with a bunch of extra parts as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have had a gentleman tell me about 2 1975 Bruts that he thinks are for sale. One is a 340 2 cylinder and the second is a 440 3 cylinder. Just wanted some information on my sled and the 2 Bruts. After being away from vintage sleds it''s been great to be back. Lastly, what''s the best way to contact other Scorpion owners regarding any questions or parts needs? Thanks for the space.

I had a older sting I believe with the 440 Cuyuna blew the pistons, scored the walls had it professionally bored 40 over but wiseco pistons in it drove it 1 mile down the road and blew the right piston, fixed it same thing happened again was wondering if anybody knows why these motors blew the right side all the time. I heard if you change carb it stops but is this true.

Hi, bought a ''76 whip at Waconia and I''ve noticed the colors are mismatched. It''s got a ''78 TK Whip hood and I''m pretty sure I need the blue hood but I can''t find a pic of this sled with the right hood. It''s a 340 model with the 340 blue decal down the side of the tunnel. I also need a tail light for it. Any I.D. info would be appreciated! Thanks...

This last weekend at the Homecoming was very cool. I got a chance to see lots of different Scorpion sleds, meet Dick and family plus see his collection of Scorpion history. Keep it up. I will be there next year again especially since my 1975 340 blue metal flake Whip will be the featured sled along with the Chuck Connors (The Rifleman) theme for next year. What history! Para-rail and Rockwell engines; a sled way ahead of its time. Cheers and see all ya''lls next year!

FOR SALE. Both machines for $800.
1967 Sears Snowcruiser made by Scorpion & a 1968 Scorpion.
The Sears Snowcruiser is in nice condition for its age. This is a rare machine made by Scorpion and sold by Sears. The JLO engine turns over with great compression and runs while spraying gas into carb. It will need new gas lines, fresh gas, etc.. The hood looks nice. The frame is solid. The track looks real good for its age. The seat is nice and soft. The windshield is brand new. The front chrome bumper has a slight bend.
The 1968 Scorpion is in rough condition. The JLO engine does turn over. The frame is totally rusted out. The seat is fairly nice and still could be used. The hood does have a crack in it. The track could possibly be used yet. The front chrome bumper is nice.
I can store these snowmobiles inside my building for you to pick up whenever as long as paid for in full. I do accept paypal. Call 218-357-0927. Thanks!

I need to see if the part number for the gas tank, belly pan, and gas tank cover/console have the same part number so I can know what other sleds have the same parts. If you could scan the parts books and send the pictures to me at jag3000fan@yahoo.com that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ryan

Hi I just got an 80 Scorpion whip 440 that runs for about 15 -20 min. With low power then it dies. After the engine dies it will not restart for about an hour or more. When the unit dies I still have spark and it will pop over a few times but just wont start. I tried changing plugs and it did not help. I tried to lean it out and still is not any better. Also drained the fuel and made sure that I had a fresh 50:1 mix of fuel still not any better. When the unit is running it seems to run a little rich and it smokes a bit more then I think it should. When the engine dies out I also tried to remove the plugs and pull a few times incase it was flooded but after pulling and I put in the new plugs it is not any better.
Also what is the best spark plug to use with this engine and is 1 1/4 turns out on the needle ok as a starting point for the carb. Any ideas would be a big help. Because today is the start of the season and we got snow.

Looking for a 1969 Scorpion Mark 4, with a 400 twin ccw engine. Was the 1st sled I ever owned! Made many trips up to Dorthy Molters, on Knife lake (BWCA). Would appreciate any help locating one! Thanks for the great sight!

My grandfather was the contracter on the building of the plant in Crosby and my dad worked there. Scorpions are great machines and more people should know about them.

I have a 1972 Scorpion Stinger 290 ccw twin. I have owned it for 17 years. I use it every winter, taking my children for rides around our area. My daughter absolutely loves it. There is a Scorpion collector approx. 20 minutes from me, and he has anything I will ever need for my Scorpion. This is a great site. I never knew there were so many people into these sleds. There are so many people from my area that have never heard of a Scorpion Snowmobile.

We have 2 1979 Scorpion Sting 400s and a 1976 Scorpion Whip-Sting 440. All have Cuyuna engines and run great. If any of you need parts, the place to go is www.winterhavenllc.com talk to Ernie Sr. for engine problems. I have used them for parts and service help for many years. They are located in Plymouth, CT and were the biggest Scorpion dealer in the Northeast. Hopefully this will help everyone.

I have a 1979 scorpion with a 440 Cuyuna engine. The guy I bought it from replaced one or both pistons. I ran it maybe 4 hours. Now I have no compression at the spark plug of the head near the clutch. The head gasket looks ok the piston moves up and down normal but is not creating any pressure. About 30 psi. The other cylinder is about 90. What should I do?

1972 Super Stinger III w/440 JLO - will only start with left sparkplug removed, after started you can stall it by covering empty sparkplug hole?
Any ideas?

I have a 1978 Scorpion Whip 440 TKX and recently replaced a burnt piston on the fan side. This past weekend I had the sled out and was running about 7000rpm 30 mph and the engine started spuging and jumping so I shut it off and pulled the plugs and every thing looked ok so i started it back up and it only would run on one cylinder so I towed it back home and I pulled the head and the piston again is starting to decay on the top in the middle so if you know why or how I can prevent this. Please let me know.

When I was a kid growing up in Faribault, MN I had a paper route. One of my stops was at Reichert Sales and Service, a Scorpion dealer. I remember seeing all those Whips, Stingers, and Stingerettes. I also recall him having a Columbia, Brut, and Chaparelle. The coolest sled he ever had was the 1981 Sidewinder. I dreamt of owning one. Well, 25 years later I have just acquired a fully restored 1981 Sidewinder. It will be delivered to me soon. I can''''t wait!!! Cool site!!!

This site is fanastic! I love it! Good to remember what Scorpions were like. I was a kid so I did not own any of them when Scorpion was in business. We had other brands. Would love to own 81 Sidewinder or the 81 TK/TKX since they still look fresh and new in the 21st century! Oh well! In fact, I still design Scorpion snowmobiles as if it was still in business. You guys should see my designs!! :)

Three years ago I picked up a 1971 Stinger II with a 292 CCW. The sled sat in a farmer''s barn for 20 some years because it didn''t run. When I found the sled it didn''t have a windshield or seat, I have since replaced the windshield and am in the process of having a seat upholstered. The only mechanical repair that I made to the snowmobile was put a new rewind on it. The sled now runs like brand new. I am interested in finding an original seat and red metal flake hood. If anyone knows of the whereabouts of either please send me an email, Thanks

The last time I sat on one I was 10 years old at a Scorpion show in Florida of all places. I still have the pic with Brad, Steve and myself sitting on the sled. Hope the Hall of Fame in Eagle River is awesome.

Dear Sir; I saw your interest in the 1970 Scorpion Mark I and I was wondering if you are familiar with the Fitchel Sachs N-3 100 cc 4.5 HP motor. I have a project I''m working on that has severe space limitations and requires a small round air cooled power plant, i.e. Wankel engine of about 5 HP., 3.75 kw +/-. When Wankels were popular here, one of the U.S. lawn implement manufacturers made one, but I''''m not sure which one. Also, I believe that a German company, Fichtel had a lawn mower or some such device which used a Wankel. Can you advise or direct me in this matter. I thank you in advance for your assistance.
Very truly yours, Samuel C. Aurilio, Esq.

Far from that. 1977 Range Whip, spare rebuilt 440, tons of spare parts, and the owners manual. Yes I bought it, sled and all for $125.00 and he was the original owner that bought it new.

I was just a kid in the early 70''s when my uncle bought a Scorpion Stinger. It was the fastest and baddest snow machine around! I couldn''t even take it up to max speed, as it scared me too much.
I''ve since moved to the south, and for some reason thought of the Scorpion today - so I headed to Google to see what the latest is.
It was sad for me to see the demise of Scorpion... but I enjoyed reviewing the site and reading the history and watching the videos.
I wish I would have known about the reunion last year... I would have tried to make it up.
Feel free to email me with any future reunion info, as I would like to try to attend one.

WoW!! What a show the reunion was.
Really makes one proud to be a Scorpion owner. Special thanks to the Harrison''s for the outstanding hospitality at the Museum and the lunch served by their extended family. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you. Hope we can do it again next year. All the best, Todd.

I just recently bought a 1980 Scorpion Whip 440. It is a great, fast sled. Easy to manouevre and handle.

I have a 1971 Scorpion Stinger II but it starts hard., I''m not sure of the gas/oil mixture. I also have a 1971 Scorpion Stingerette. I just got them.

Thinking of selling a 1973 Scorpion Stinger 440WT. It is in very good shape, a few tears in the seat but the motor is strong and runs great.

I purchased a 1971 Stinger, last year. My 10 year old loves driving it. When I see her on it, it brings back memories of when I was a kid. Scorpions Rock!!!

I bought my first snowmobile when I was 14 years old. It was a 1970 Scorpion Mark 1. 12 horsepower Sachs engine. I would love to have it back today as I put numerous miles on every winter.

I believe that Scorpion snowmobiles
have been the best sled''s ever built. And I have a 78'' 440TKX Whip
and it will absolutely annihilate our 91'' 530 Arctic Cat El'' Tigre EXT.

I grew up riding Scorpions, being a fact that my parents were dealers in the 70''s makes it hard to have anything else. Now my twin sons are riding the same sleds I rode as a teenager. We have 7 Scorpions - 4 of them are from the dealership yet. Ya gotta love''m!!!!!!!!!
