Sled Video's

It would be nice if there was a section here everyone could down load your JD videos to...besides Youtube where there you have to search for them.
I hear about everyone's projects and restored sleds and Vintage Shows , I and others would like to see them in action. :popcorn:

Re: Problem with 81 LF

Your carbs do fit a certain side just because of the jetting of the pto/mag side. but if it's running good now ....sweet.
did you replace the internal ignition coil on the stator plate......sounds like you did if it runs for 2 hours without bogging ....
any updates....

Use a carb tool to make sure them holes are open then blow them out with air ho...

Re: Problem with 81 LF

If your sled starts and runs fine for about 30 minutes and then the power really fades try replacing your ignition coil. Mine has had this problem and I had it replaced problem solved. After starting your sled and running it until the power fades stop and let it cool down after that start it up and ...
