What are the usual symptoms of a bad CDI? Is it usually related to temperature (i.e when sled is warm)? Or will the sled not run at all? Does anyone have a NOS CDI for an 80 Liquifire?

Rich, I found today that it is an issue of warm start up. I let it idle until temp gauge read 160 F. I shut it off w/ kill switch to check warm compression (135-140 psi). After checking compression I went to restart and it behaved like all of the other times it would not restart. I decided to put a ...

Rich, I tried sending to your inbox but got an error Oh the joy of having a Liquifire! Well I replaced the coil and thought everything was going to be okay. Drove it around for about 5-7 miles (at moderate speed w/ a few wide open bursts) and everything seems to be running okay but turned south when...

I am not running premix. What temp does the red zone correspond to on the factory gauge?

I have already experienced not having the chokes not adjusted right :-) so I am pretty sure it is not that. Regarding bogging it does not bog at all when 1st started.

I have a 1980 Liqufire that has been giving me fits. I have gone through carbs and clutches. Here is what I am running for jets. main 150 Power Jet PTO 110 MAG 105 Jet Needle 6DH22-3 Needle Jet 159 (P4) Throttle Valve 3.5 Pilot Jet 40 Air Screw (turns open) 1.5 clip position 3 (w/ nylon washer) Here...

I do not have an original equipment temp guage on my 1980 Liquifire. What temperature the does the red range on the OEM guage correspond to?

Thanks,

I just did a search. I cannot find it using the text you recommended. Even if I search under Liquifire it does not show up. Does it take a while to show up?

Any of you out there rebuilt the Liqufire (1980) fuel pump? Tech manual states that it is non serviceable but I have seen rebuild kits on Ebay for the Liquifire. Other than the crankcase filling with fuel are there other symptoms you have experienced that was the result of a malfunctioning fuel pump...

I am extremely happy to say I was able get the broken bolt out without any signficant issue. I drilled a pilot using a drill press and used the easy out bit with a t-handle. I took my time and made sure I was as close to dead center as possible (laser crosshairs could not be used because the bolt wa...

Thank you everyone. I too called Comet today and received the same info (12 ft-lbs). They stated the bolt length as 1.75". I think someone else mentioned the Liquifire is 1.25" and that it is different than other sleds w/ the 102C. Also do you recommend using an easy out bit or drilling an...

Kenny,

Here is photo of the page of the tech manual where I got the 20 ft-lbs.

I was torqueing the bolts to spec on the primary clutch on my Liquifire (20 ft-lbs) and they snapped off before they reached spec (or my torque wrench is malfuctioning). Any ideas how to get them out without damaging the threaded hole. Where can I get more?

Sled info would be helpful, 1980 Liquifire (stock jetting)

Is the middle slot the correct position for the snap ring on the jet needle (could not find it in the tech manual)? Thanks for the help.

I am using Gunk (1 gallon w/ a basket). Another question. In the attached photo which jet is the main and the power jet. Is it the lower jet (barely visible in the photo) and the main a hex head in upper portion of photo? The lower jet is a 145 and the upper a 110. This is the carb from the PTO side...
