Found both of these 76 js400's on craigslist in LA for 400$. I got 3 original 400 motors, 2 of them so new on the inside that I think they have only been ran once or twice. The motors and skis had been in storage since the early 80's. I've put all 3 motors in the ski and they all started up first crank. I also got 2 buckets full of every original part needed to bring this thing back to bone stock. It had aftermarket grips when i bought it so I swapped for the set of OG grips that were in the buckets(shown in pictures). These parts have all been inside their whole life. The only thing I have left to do is to paint the bottom back to the original yellow because someone did some patch work on the front (very minor) and decided to respray the bottom half white, sort of ruins the look of the ski. Everything on this ski is original down the fuel lines and hardware. Youll notice i had to put a different gas tank in it just for ease of testing the motors. The only exception to originality is it has the wrong handle pole bracket, 76's should have a single H slot style bracket so mine is off of a 440 or a pre 86 js550, as they were then painted silver. Let me know what you guys think on the paint and if anyone has a Single slotted H pole bracket that would be killer!
