a TEC is a Thermo Electric Cooler.
Think of it kinda like a balgna sandwich with 2 wires sticking out of it. When current is applied to the wires, one piece of bread gets really really hot, and the other gets really really cold.
You clamp or epoxy the cold side to whatever you want to keep cold, and try to cool the hot side off somehow. Like a HSF or a waterblock. In your case a HSF would be nice since you are getting cold air whisking past it anyway, so you wouldn't even need a fan.
The possible problems with this are if you do something wrong, you might wind up heating your fuel instead of cooling it. Also, if as stated earlier, when standing still, you might overheat....but if that happens, just tell everyone you made your snowmobile based on F1 specs :-D.
Also, a small intercooler for the fuel wouldn't be too bad if you placed it right. Maybe you could put a side air scoop, like on an F1 car. Also, since your running a 2 stroke, you might want to think of intercooling the oil also (if I recall corectly, in a 2-stroke the oil and fuel are mixed and both burnt in the engine together, right?).
**please disregard the shitty spelling. I'm in a hurry, and dont have spell check.
