1980 LF Suspension Shock

I do not know if you access to Kimpex or Canadian Tire ? Kimpex old # 04-245 or new #298758 or CTC #26-4155-8. I have been using this shock on my Liq`s and Sporfires for 10 years now and it seems to stand up very well. Hope it helps.

Where is the light?

Take a 12 volt test light and with the engine running probe the wire at the VR. If it blows the bulb in seconds yep bad VR, but make sure that the VR is grounded and the black wire is plugged in. Also I have seen where you plug the harness in at the motor as you plug in the plug it pushes the wires ...

still haveing trouble with the liquifire

Be a little more specific , What makes you think that it is seals ? When the seals are gone it`s really hard to get them going and when you do they want to rev faster than they should.. Deererunner....

Gear Box oil seal #.

Maybe I should have been more specific,This seal is located outside the crankcase . It keeps the gear oil in that lubes the drive mechanism for oil and water pump. This seal has an outer steel ring as used in automotive applications. It is NOT a crankcase seal..
