I think I will do as suggested and swap the carbs.
I have entered all my sleds in a rally / show and shine for this Saturday and the LF is the nicest one of the bunch (other than it runs like crap at the moment).
Is there any chance of burning this thing up if it has a blown crank seal or will it just run bad ?

I would say its a good chance if it is in fact a bad crank seal.

Re: 81 Liquifire CDI with intigraded coils ????
There is a huge chance of blowing it up if you run it with bad crank seals
Not only will it run like crap, (if you can get it started) You run the risk of it leaning out and blowing a piston.

Would anyone know the Kimpex part # for the crank seals. I'm in Toronto this week and can drop by Royal Distributing to pick them up. Work all night Friday to do the rally on Saturday.

I saw an older post that said it was after the date code. I've never seen one of updated 81s. Hoping someone that has will chime in.
