Re: 1980 Liquifire troubles

I too just got an 80 LF and had very similar issues. When my sled was cold (just started) it worked fine but once it was warmed up it acted similar. It would idle (with help at the throttle) but if I got on the throttle it would just spit and sputter without enough power to even move the track. I ev...

Re: 74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

I bought a wdb-31 that fits my sled on xbay. I am hoping some of the internal parts that are messed up on my carb might be able to be swapped with those on the one I purchased..... (I bought a wda-1 kit but the parts that came on it weren't exactly what I needed.) I hope to see if this works or I wi...

Re: 74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

One other thing I may have not mentioned. When the sled is flooded, if I disconnect the pulse line and the sled will start and run fine for a short time then rev up and die out. (I assume it is burning the excess fuel in the manifold) The failure of a mechanic swore up and down as well as at me that...

Re: 74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

Is it then possible for the pulse line to push air and not pull air?

Re: 74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

I just bought that kit and the metering lever came out of proper calibration. The tip of the needle valve had an abnormality and there wasn't a seat in the kit. SHOULD the pulse line push and pull? My son held his finger on it when I pulled the rope and he said he only felt air pushing out of the li...

Re: 74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

It runs for a little bit then floods out. If I pull off the pulse line from the carb it will start in 5-10 pulls and run for awhile then rev up and die. I got it started for a bit, then could keep it running for awhile using the primer I installed.

74 300 Kohler 295-2AX

I have a 300 that we owned since new. I got it out of storage recently and after cleaning the fuel tank/lines/carb it ran fine. (Until it got warm then it died) I found the coil was bad so I replaced both coils, condensers and points. While I had the fan cover plate off to press the condensers in an...

Re: New Stator - Now No Tach

I just checked and the lights do NOT work now. (They worked before the mechanic replaced the internal coils). What will he need to redo?

Also, is there a way to prevent exhaust from seeping out between the exhaust manifold and the muffler connection?

New Stator - Now No Tach

I have an 80 LF. The mechanic said the stator coils were out of spec. (I saw the old coils and stator plate and it was a mess.) He replaced the internal coils and everything was in spec. He cleaned up the wire connections and put it all together. Now the Tachometer doesn't work. (At $85/hr I am not ...

Re: 80 LF Bogs when warm

I understood that the CDI either works or it doesn't. I finally took the sled to a local guy who works on these. He thought 95% that it was the stator. (A problem if it works when they are cold and begin to bog when they get warm) It is too easy to start plugging in parts without a clear diagnosis.....

80 LF Bogs when warm

I just acquired an 80 LF. Nice and clean sled. Had compression check at 120psi per hole. The guy I bought the sled from said he had the sled serviced and the carbs cleaned and set up at a shop. His kids ran the sled a few weeks until they broke the pull rope. (He mentioned that the sled didn't seem ...
