well I dont know what gives it took a 3/4 bolt with fine thread to make the clutch come off! So much for 9/16 threads (jokin). I am missing those two pages out of the manual that I have, but I am on " the road again" da da ......lol thanks for you guys help..... I am wondering why the diff...

The manual I have is the TM 1217. I got it off the internet. It seemed to skip the part of the clutch. I thank you a bunch. Now I will have to find a clutch puller and get to work. I will let you know what happens....lol.

Well I finally decided that since my 72 400 is running great and my 76 Liquid 440 is tops. That I would start on the 80 Liquidfire. Well I have the TM but it is faque on how to remove the engine. When I look at it, the clutch seems to be the item that has to be removed in order to get the engine out...

Well Brian I think I found the problem with my walbro. The meter lever was not set right. Now she works like she should. So long to the mikuni.

Hey thanks Brian......On the 76 Cyclone 340, according to my high performance book by john deere they ran a #370 on the main,pilot was a #20, the throttle was a 2.5, needle jet was a Q-0, and the jet needle was a 6FL14 on the #2 position. I will try your suggestion. :ph43r:

I have had enough of walbros. I have a 72 400 and it has never ran good with the walbro. It has been rebuilt, but like everyone else the walbros dont run. So, I have a 34mm mukini carb that I would like to try. Would anyone have any idea how to spec the carb out. Like what jets to use, and what else...

I have a 76 340 liquidfire in my back yard. Its in good shape. It needs a waterpump. I was thinking of restoring it, but dont have the time now. I was thinking of putting it on ebay, but I will let you have first try. It needs the seat recovered, windshield, snowflap, and coolant temp.

Well I did have the thought of shooting it.......lol. But then I figured if I did that my wife would use the gun on me! I will check for the leaks. I still cant get over the fact that it ran while the spark plug wires were pulled.

Hey Thanks Harley,
I appreciate your wisdom. Its too bad that you have to replace the whole gauge.

I am restoring a 1976 440 liquidfire. The machine will crank up on the 2nd try, which I think is awesome. I checked the compression on the cylinders, the waterpump side is 111,and the pto side is 142. The service manual says 120 to 130. I will be tearing down the engine to check things out, but need...

I have a 1980 440 LiquidFire. I started it after a few squirts of fuel in the carbs. Then after the temp got on the gauge the engine started running high in rpms. I was able to control it for a few times with the engine kill switch, and the ignition swithch. All of a sudden it went to 7000 rpm, the ...
