I am in need of a pair of crank seals for 83 sprintfire - M68074. I know they are the same as the 80 - 82 spitfire and i could get a complete gasket set, but i thought i would see if anybody had a set to spare or where i might find the seals by themselves before i spend the money for a complete set ...

thanks

We are going to need a hood since it didnt have one but will need to find one not too far away. We are in Knoxville IL about 45 miles west of Peoria. Any help would be appeciated. Thanks Joel

Try going to your local DMV facility. They may be able to help you with paper work. In Illinois we can download the paper work from the DNR site.

Third pic of spit waiting for rebuild

Thought i would share my latest projects. We bought two 1979 spitfires this fall and went to work on the first one. Bought the pair for $ 80.00. Both were a little rough but saveable. Here is a couple of pics as to the first one condition now. It has new jugs, pistons & rings, gaskets and seals ...

interesting i may have to call the guy i got this from and see if he can remember who he got it from and do some tracking to find out just where this came from or what the story may be.

ok : Took some carb cleaner and some scrubbing but found the numbers on the carbs. JD 295 on both carbs. Would these be off a 295/s motor by chance :?: I found the cylinder i need to replace the bad one, its on its way. Well this motor is really becoming a mystery. I will be tearing it down for new ...
