If the charging/control circuit breaker is tripped, it may be a bad noise suppressor on one of the fuel pumps. Seen it before. They can be eliminated completely. Test first.
Here is a front seal number for the crankshaft. It was listed on the old cross reference list on the site. Might save you time, if you need it.
417350
Simply google " 417350 seal"
