Got my Sprintfire

Post by guitardude081 »

I just got my Sprintfire up here, and I don't know where to start. I am going to ride it as is this winter, but it'll need all springs and shocks, plus a kill switch and gas cap to be ready. Where can I get the shocks aftermarket? Is there a gasket set still made aftermarket? I plan on a full restoration in the spring, so I'll need a lot of parts, including a hood. I'm guessing it's a 34mm powerjet carb, and the 102-c setup. Let me know your thoughts, I've never had a Sprintfire before, but it looks like an awsome sled.

Good news. dennis kirk has an ebay store and theyve got an nos hood for the sprintfire. as far as the gas cap the only place ive been able to find one is from Image enterprises. Its an oddball size so the ones at dennis kirk wont fit. Not sure about the gasket sets but Winderosa probably still makes them.

I am actually in contact w/ Mike from DK scratch and dent, but we haven't been able to find a few things, ex. gaskets, decals, and shocks. The TC-440E seems to be an obscure engine. I just need to get it running for the winter, and get suspension in it. (the rear is 1" from the ground, and the leafers are almost flat. It has 3500mi on it, so it will need a rebuild very soon.
