Re: Need PTO SIDE Cylinder 440 Trailfire

If they are in good working condition I am interested.
I'd need them shipped right away though, I need the motor assembled by next weekend.

I'll take some pics tonight and post more in the right place. For the exhaust, I need the gasket that goes b...

Pressure testing 440

How do you pressure test a 79 trailfire? I bought a sled with a rebuilt motor (top and bottom) 20 over. But It was loosing pressure already (120 right, 90 left). Off hand I was thinking the pto seal started leaking, but I really dont want to taer it down to see that its ok. I've got about 10 days un...

Re: Best rebuild advice

It must not have been an Invader, this is a fan cooled 440.

I think I found a complete motor. But I wont have it until next week.

Re: Best rebuild advice

*lets just say the clutch didn't come off as planned, the jugs for the Invader are not the same, and the clutch on the Invader has a metal band holding it together with self tapping screws. So I'm sure that clutch is junk too.

Re: Best rebuild advice

well the clutch Cyl. is shot. It needs bored and re-chromed.

I do have a 440 kaw motor out of an invader. Do these parts interchange? Or should I just swap motors and rebuild the Kawasaki? Would the electric match up?

Re: Best rebuild advice

Thank you! That is the same method I heard as using hot water.

Re: Best rebuild advice

OK I was wrong, it was the clutch side that had the low compression, and I'm just now getting to the rebuild. I'm having problems pulling the clutch off. The puller I have is the wrong thread size. Anyone know what size treads are on the clutch to pull it? Has anyone here heard of using hot water to...
