Just wondering what the problem was with the tr800,I just aquired one and I opened it up and it seems like it should have been a pretty good clutch.I dont care for the comet cluthes as in my opinion they ware out far too fast for a high dollar clutchand it costs far too much to rebiuld them as well....

The liquidator part # is fs09 8046x. Yea I live about 7miles north of Listowel but I do know where Glen Allen is,also I have relatives in Chatham. While Im here you wouldnt happen to have a 440 cyclone engine kicking around or at least jugs and pistons?Also in need of a pto side piston for a 340 cyc...

340 liquifre according to my kimpex book
Where abouts do you live in SW Ontario?I am near Listowel.

Murray If you want I can come over this weekend and have alook to see if you need to disturb the top end of the engine and maybe even give you a hand.Let me know.

1982 SRX 500 is rare,you lucky bassturd.Beautiful sleds you got there.

First thing I would do is tear down the engine and look for internal problems like crank seal or bad crank bearings as well as possible cylinder/piston damage.

I have a 79 Trailfie 340 and it takes about ten to fifteen pulls to get it started after it sits for a few days.I have resealed the engine and pressure tested it and all was good,cleaned the carb three or four times and all should be good,replaced fuel lines and check valve in the tank and replaced ...

No problem everyone has thier own ideas and methods.I have used this method many times and it has always worked for me.

Pinesol put it in straight up and let it sit for a day then rinse all the gunk out and let dry,no chain required.Also works good on varnished carbs if you soak them in it and then hit them with spray carb cleaner afterwards.

My bet would be a bad crank seal that lets moisture in and rusts up the bearing. Just a guess but it sounds good to me ?

Usually once you change them they are good for a few years.Get yourself a manual, it will tell you how to do it.

Probably a good time to do crank seals as well just so you dont burn up the engine very easy to do on that engine and is worth the piece of mind.

Next question then,did they use the same bottom end as the 340/440cyclone?
Thanks

76 it is then,rectangle plug
Thanks harleysportster

Just wondering if there is a way to find out the year an engine is by the serial number or something.Engine is a 340 liquifire.
Thanks
