I should be able to find a belt. Haven't tried too hard yet. I've
never owned a spridget without one.
>From what I understand they are more stable in terms of cam timing
and are longer lasting. I know this belt is at least from the mid
80's. I have no idea how many miles are on it (speedo is dead)
I suppose it would be quieter too.
This one blocked off the crankcase vent. Had to rectify that so it
wouldn't blow oil out everywhere.
