Why I bought BBD.B last week......I have an old '95 Skidoo Tundra 2 snowmobile that I can't kill. It's been under a tarp all summer and I took it out last week to see if it still ran. Two pulls and it fired up! I figured it was a good omen so I logged on and bought some bombardier shares, about as many as a old beater work sled may be worth.
Last year winter, while working in northern Alberta, I fell through the ice in a beaver pond with it. Fortunately it wasn't too many km's to the road and I was able to hike out before dark. I returned the next day with a chainsaw winch to fish it out.
Once out I flipped it on its side, clutch down and removed the spark plug. I pulled the starter chord a million times until the water stopped sputtering out the top end, flipped it back down, poured a water bottle full of diesel into the head, gave it two pulls, then flipped it back on it side and pulled another million times until it stopped sputtering diesel. I returned it right way up, screwed the spark plug back in, two pulls and it fired right up!!! (albiet, the rest of the sled was a block of ice so it still needed to be towed out)
I'll return again to northern Alberta this winter for another season of cutting down and burning pine beetle infested trees. If my sled dies and leaves me stranded I'll sell my BBD.B shares.
Does anyone else use such unconventional indicators for buying and selling bombardier? Care to comment or share?
