I've got a good one on a Trailfire. I'm pretty sure they are the same as the Liquifire.

They have a different part number on jdparts site. Don't know what's different.

Duane and Greg,

I believe the difference from a LF to a Trailfire throttle block is the switch for the rev limiter. It's like a brake light switch, as it senses pressure on the lever.

It should work if you remove the rev limiter from the harness.

I guess you'll have to go from there Greg. I'm glad Pat knew there was some difference. I checked my Liquifire parts sleds and they were all cracked. I've taken the rev-limiter off my Liquifire because it went bad. Maybe someone has a correct one for a Liquifire?

A brake block from a trailfire would be the same. It would have the cavity for the brake switch. Brake and throttle blocks are all the same. Just have to flip them around to use on the other side.

Just have to watch out for the blocks that don't have the cavity for the rev limter/brake switch.
