Moto-Ski Spirit 250 Snowmobile (1976-1983)
The Moto-Ski Spirit 250, produced from 1976 to 1983, was a lightweight, entry-level snowmobile renowned for its simplicity and reliability. Following Bombardier's acquisition of Moto-Ski in 1971, this model was essentially an orange-colored version of the Ski-Doo Elan, sharing its straightforward steel chassis and design philosophy. It was consistently powered by a Rotax 247cc single-cylinder, fan-cooled engine, typically rated around 12 horsepower, ensuring dependable performance for recreational use. Throughout its production, the Spirit 250 maintained a largely consistent design. While primarily offered as a single, basic model, some references to a "Spirit 250 M" exist across various years. However, no significant feature differences or upgrades associated with this "M" designation have been identified, suggesting it was likely a minor internal code rather than a distinct trim level. The main design consistency included a bogie wheel rear suspension and leaf-sprung skis. A notable distinction was the 1976 model, which featured an exclusive "peanut track" with a wave-like lug pattern, differing from the 15" x 114" track found on later models like the 1977 and 1980 Spirit 250. This track variation represents the most significant design change during its production run. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| General Lubrication | 25 hours | Several points require lubrication, including the drive chain, front axle bearings, driven pulley eccentric, and steering mechanism. Use Moto-Ski Special Grease and SAE 30 oil. |
| Drive Belt | Regular inspection | Inspect the belt for cracks, fraying, or uneven wear. Replace if width is less than 2.5 cm. Abnormal wear may indicate pulley misalignment. |
| Spark Plug | Regular inspection; replacement if needed | Check for fouling or defects. If the engine has issues (hard starting, lack of power), check and potentially change the spark plug. Annual inspection or every 800 km or 50 hours is suggested. |
| Fuel Filter | Inspection and cleaning if needed | If the engine lacks power or fails to start, remove and clean the fuel filter, and change the cartridge if necessary. |
| Air Filter | Inspection and cleaning/replacement if needed | Inspect airbox fit and air filter. Clean or replace as needed to maintain optimal airflow. |
