Thanks. trying to put a tractor back together, so will have to put this on the back burner for now.

no snow here this year, to speak of, and wasn't able to run the sled last year, so it's been 2 years since I started my 79 Trailfire. Started right up, ran for 3-5 seconds and died like it's out of gas. Kept doing this, no matter if choke on or off. I'm thinking the float might be stuck. I'll try to...

Thanks! I've ordered the bearings from NAPA online to my local store. One is at the warehouse, and the other is in-house. With luck, they'll be in today, if not, I get them tomorrow. Supposed to be 46 here today, so snow is going away or at least getting slushy. Best time to work on the sled! Thanks...

2 feet of snow in the last 2 weeks, and had lots of fun, but now blew a bearing. :( Sorry if this is listed somewhere, but left side bearing on the secondary drive shaft just shot craps, and I need to know what bearing to get to replace it. Looks like it might be NPS-014-RPC national bearing I can m...

Checked the wiring diagram. Decided to order a new switch. Will keep all posted. Thanks. John

Wow, thanks Todd. I thought it was weird. I'll get to that tomorrow. This will sound stupid, but what if I just jumpered the red and orange wire up at the switch. It would hook the two together, no matter which position 1 or 2 the switch was in for my Off--1--2--Start position switch I have now. App...

OK, it's still not working. It is definitely an electrical issue. Here's what I know: BEFORE: I rebuilt the motor: new pistons, seals, rings, plugs. Nice adventure last winter. The tach worked at that time, as did the lights...getting brighter when the motor was revved. NOW: Added in electric start,...

Hey guys, sorry to keep you in suspense. After Kenny did all the work to get me a part, I have been swamped!!! I finally have breathing room and room in the barn to work, so I am pulling the sled out this week and weekend to get it fired up and working. The sled runs perfect, except the tach. Hoping...

I converted to electric start, and Everything is working great, except the tach. I think in my wiring conversion, I messed it up. I don't think I'm getting the right signal to it. I've looked at the wiring diagram. Lights all work. Light works on the tack, but the needle on the gauge only worked abo...

I'll take it. will send a PM

great idea, thanks

Anyone have a starter motor they want to sell that will fit my 79 Trailfire? Need the wiring harness/rectifier also. Battery box, too, if you got it. Thanks!

Need some help. I boogered up the threads on the end of the crankshaft while trying to pull the flywheel off. I need a new nut and need to clean up the threads on the crank. Anyone know the size and pitch of the nut and crank? The part number is M68143 and is listed as a Nut 18 mm, but what is the p...

OK, just venting. Now know why the sled was cheap. Checked the compression and got 0 and 75. Ordered a gasket and seal kit, and am hoping when I get time to tear it down, the pistons are good. May end up being a total rebuild. At least I'm learning about the sled.

OK, narrowing down my problem. I think the problem is with the idle system/pilot jet. As I said, everything was cleaned with the chem dip, and all orifices seem clear of obstruction. Snugged the pilot jet in, after checking the operation of the floats. Set the air screw to 1 turn, and the idle speed...
