How wide is the clutch belt suppose to be new. I got people telling me 1.250. The manual says 1.375" new however the belts they are selling me is #1105 and 1.250 thick. I think it is wrong

Here is my ifs. I have a few little bugs to work out. But it works

I replaced cdi. I think I am going to look at pilots another guy said the same thing. Can't wait to get back on snowed for four days here. Perfect conditions for sledding. Is a jdx8 a 400cc?

Thanks for that info. Ya it did raise the temp a few degrees. Had the sleds out this weekend wow did it run good. We were playing in snow all day up to our knee caps. Temperature was good about 150 degrees all day. However if I shut the machine off when warm, I pull and pull and pull the starter, I ...

I got a 1980 spitfire I restored as well. Fun machines and light.plus it's got electric start and heated
hand grips.

Thanks guys. I think the old liquidfire will make it. Never let me down yet. I ride with a bunch of guys that have older sleds. It's fun to see them out. We got 1980 cition 340ss, trailfires, el tigers, scorpions, Nordics, panteras, ect. I really want a 1984 snow fire later on to ad to my collection...

I appreciate all the input you have been giving me. Crank seals maybe when it gets warm? The 440 engines did they have reed valves? I'm going on a big ride soon in northern Alberta I will let you know how it ran. I put ifs on my sled to. It was lots of work but seems to work great I will have to get...

What is the deal with a snow fire? Is it just the bigger brother of the trail fire? I mean liquidfire was a sporty machine. Trail fire the reliable air cooled trail sled. And then there is the snow fire what was its claim to fame?

Thanks that clears lots up. So with that info you gave me I'm going to say I do not have a cooling issue. So it's got to be a fuel issue. I will put new plugs in and try again. Now if it is fuel where do I start. Do I change the idle setting. Because the machine runs fine threw the rest of the power...

Hang on I am confused. Thermostats open at 108 degrees. So should the normal operating temp of the engine be around 115 to 120 degrees. Overheat at 150 to 160 degrees.

Invader heads did raise the compression. Now I am running 92 octane could that be my problem. Rad gets warm and heat exchanger gets warm. I will check my thermostats. Spark plugs were brown. Could it be water pump, how would I check?. Thank you

Dator ???

I put invader heads on my machine so it's running hot. Jdx 8 is that not a air cooled 440

I have a 440 liquid fire. Wondering what was that the most powerful engine they built? And is there a cooling system upgrade for the 1982 liquidfires.

How can I cool it better? Is there a better heat exchanger or rad
