I tell you my ideas on coils at this point in my life and ive been through workin on a sled for hrs to ride it 10 minutes til it dies for 25 of my 37 yrs on earth. Ive also worked on cars for 20 yrs now in new car dealerships. Its not often a coil fails usally when someone changes a coil they fix an...

your just lucky that sled didnt break down haha happy bday to the wife

Not much maybe $20 bucks and shipping it would still need new seals but should be no probs with the crank or the cases. You can email me at jesse_jameswannabe@yahoo.com if intrested. I could send you pics or what not if you like.

Try pulling the fuel filter off when it craps out and blowing it and see if a bunch of brown crap. I have the same problem on my 74 x8 and after you blow through the filter it runs good for awhile its do to rust in the tank blocking the filter up even though the filter looks ok and the line is full ...

if neede i can set you up with a bottom end to use I got a few extras

My 78 cyclone 340 has the engine from my 75 jdx8 in it [440/22] I needed to swap the exhaust manifold and the intake manifold intake was only because...

Do as you were told and spray starting fluid on the seal behind the clutch and se...

very cool find

all the 00 and x cables from73-5 should be the same the 400 and 500 for 72 would be the same but 72 is a 1 year deal its a much longer cable that runs under the motor mount and comes up from the bottom versus the 73 and up which loop around the steering post and come down from the top

i will buy some when you guys get them

Im not positive on the liquid motor but I have done what you are questioning on several fan cooled motors to change crank seals and reseal the cases
