[0056] Before delving into the specific details of the present invention, it should be noted that the conventions "left," "right," "front," "forward", "upward", "downward" and "rear" are defined according to the normal, forward travel direction of the vehicle being discussed. As a result, the "left" side of a snowmobile is the same as the left side of the rider seated in a forward-facing position on the vehicle (or travelling in a forward direction on the vehicle).

[0057] FIG. 1 illustrates a rider operator 10 sitting on a prior art snowmobile 12. Rider 10 is positioned on seat 14, with his weight distributed over endless track 16. Motor 18 (shown in general detail) is located over skis 20. As with any snowmobile, endless track 16 is operatively connected to motor (or engine) 18 to propel snowmobile 12 over the snow. Motor or engine 18 typically is a two-stroke internal combustion engine. Alternatively, a 4-stroke internal combustion engine may be substituted therefor. In addition, a...

Abstract

An engine cradle adapted for receiving an engine includes a left side wall defining a C-shaped opening therein. The engine cradle also includes a right side wall, which is essentially a solid wall that provides a reflective surface for reflecting heat to the engine when contained within the engine cradle. The engine cradle also includes a front wall connected between forward portions of the left and right side walls. The engine cradle also includes a bottom panel and a rear panel connected between bottom portions of the front, left side, and right side walls.
