I have a 1980 Liquifire that I'm trying to sell or give some TLC. Do you have any interest in buying it? Otherwise do you do work on your own sleds, are you interested or to you know anyone that can work on my JD? I'm having a hard time finding anyone in Western PA, as I live in Monroeville. Looking...

1980 John Deere Liquifire. Second owner, garage kept by both. Newer track installed, new idler wheels/bearings, new windshield, new cdi, new fuel line and pump. Currenlty needs cdi installed and tune up. Seat has 4-5 inch tear. Have $600 of new parts in sled. Do not want to part out if I don't have ...

I have a JD Liquifire 440 that I'd like to sell complete but I'm willing to part out if I have enough interest. The sled is still in good shape but does have electrical work. Willing to take reasonable offers, many new parts and pieces on sled. If you have specific questions or parts you'd like plea...

Thanks for the help. Going to start with the CDI and move to the stator.

But seems like an electrical problem.

I had someone else this site tell me by replacing the CDI they corrected the issue. Does that sound like it makes sense?

Actually I have a new coil pack that is not installed and not a CDI. Is is wise to invest in a new CDI or work with the stator? I should say that the sled doesn't want to start on it's own when cool easily. It needs a little starter fluid to get going, but once running it's very strong. Thoughts?

Sounds like my issue exactly and I have another new CDI box. I'll try it. Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue with a 1980 liquifire. Could the CDI need replaced?

If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it. I have a 1980 Liquifire, after getting it started with a little starter fluid it seems to run well for about 20-30 minutes. At that point the engine begins to bogg out and the sled will not move. Of course the sled has gas, the track and drive parts...
