The original snowmobile engine produced 40 hp (30 kW). Lowering the compression ratio not only de-rated the engine, but also made pull-starting easier and allowed it to run on lower-octane regular auto fuel. The resulting engine worked well, was de-rated to produce 30 hp (22 kW) at 5,500 rpm and proved reliable in service. [2]
Fan cooled sleds were usually piston port (2-stroke) induction. Sleds such as the formula III, later model mach-1's and the mach Z were powered by three cylinder, 2-stroke, Rotax engines. In 1994 the company produced the first snowmobile equipped specifically for mountain riding, the Ski-Doo Summit.
The Rotax 462 is a 51 hp (38 kW), two-cylinder, two-stroke aircraft engine, derived from a snowmobile engine. It was built by Rotax of Austria for use in ultralight aircraft . [ 1 ]

Other terms are "piste machines", "trail groomers" (in North American English) or "piste bashers" (in British English) because of their use in preparing ski trails ("pistes") or snowmobile trails.
The engines came stock with triple tuned pipes, 38mm VM Roundslide Mikuni Carburetors and forged pistons. This shared similarities with smaller displacement contemporaries, the Arctic Cat ZRT 800, Polaris XCR 800, and the Skidoo Mach Z 800. The sled also featured a Wilwood hydraulic Disc brake.
The Kawasaki 340 is very similar in design to the Kawasaki 440, using a smaller piston. [1] The engine has two cylinders in an in-line configuration. The single ignition system uses a coil and points. Fuel is metered by a carburetor and the engine has oil injection. Starting is by a recoil starter system with electric start as an option. [1]
