Thumbs up Unanswered: Another sprint DFO on German ebay . . .

. . . and this one also has original sprint air filter and even original rubber gaskets between carb top and air filter! . . . didn't see special T-stat housing offered though . . . this is necessary, maybe ask seller if available.

Like the ad says, trust me on this, the sounds that the sprint makes is music to the ears! The linkage, there are three variations of which I know, is the same as mine . . .

And pics from ad for archives . . .

He states that the air filter is not included in the auction, but can be purchased separately.
Furthermore, it should get new seals, and it should get new accelerator diaphragms [membranes].

Actually it's a stretch as "he ain't frum around here"! We are progressive in the South though. I understand there are some Son's of the Confederacy groups in Georgia that will even accept Yankee's!

As POW's YE HA! Gary, can you get us a REBEL YELL smiley? Bet Gene would make use of it to!

Back to regular programing. Better bid on the DFO setup, you'll probably not find a nicier one at a better price.
