Re: 82 Sportfire

I got it together unfortunately there seems to be an excessive amount of weight on the seat that makes the snowflap rub the ground while riding. It runs but bogs bad at idle sometimes loading up and dying I noticed that there's gas coming out of the overflow on the bottom of the float bowl possibly ...

Re: 82 Sportfire

There is a shaft with 2 idler wheels in the middle of the track I'm trying to get off one side is threaded and the other has a bolt head. I took the wheel and nut off the one side and tried to turn the other side with no luck. Is this a bolt or is it part of a cross shaft I don't want to break it, b...

Re: 82 Sportfire

I am finally working on it unfortunately I'm unable to locate right front coil spring. Took two road trips today one to a sled junkyard and one to a guys barn which ended up being a shrine to JD sleds with no luck. Does anyone make these springs still? I just picked up a 78 or so Liquifire maybe I'l...

Re: New Machine

It's a 440 I'd assume the cage was out because they didn't look at the intake rubbers and see the slit in between the intake.The way it was when I got it, the intake was laying on the bottom all lines attached carbs still on I pulled it all to clean up the carbs and intake and noticed the slice on t...

The guy said he knew nothing about sleds and had a reed block out apparently for a long time. There's dirt in the intake throat used the vac and started to clean the intake and found...

Re: 82 Sportfire

I have the suspension out, unfortunately I had to cut one of the bolts on the rear left. I'll have to find some aluminum pipe at work to replace it. The shock is good, but where it mounts to on the rear looks bent(where the aluminum pipe came out of) The left rear wheel is melted from no bearings, t...

Re: 82 Sportfire

I'm back at it found the track wheels are blown out bearing retainers are just hanging out on shafts. Are these bearings easy to replace(just a sealed bearing assembly)? Still have to get the rear end apart this will be new for me, then I need to find that spring. It looks like you only need to back...
