I then started searching for a seal and luckily I was able to find a seal that was close and I made it work. I put my old engine back together and installed it in the sled. Success! It finally ran again.... for a little while.... After a short test ride it died again. After more trial and error I found that the check valve on the pick up tube in the tank was plugged up. I cleaned it out and we were off to the races! By this time it was February and I was going ice fishing so I loaded up the sled and took it up north! I was having great fun with it there and it was working really well! Here's a pic from that weekend. I have a video too, but I don't know how to post it. Any advice on that would be appreciated... Might have to post it on youtube first.
