Hi Im the new owner of this liquifire i got it for $100 its free but doesn't run he said it ran when he parked it This is my first sled and i have many question like
In the service manual it says to us leaded gas what do you guy use as far as fuel?
How do i remove the seat?
Im going to get it this weekend so all have many more question then thanks
Matt,
If you can find regular leaded gas, go for it. With today's gas, running unleaded is fine.
The seat slides intro clips behind the fuel tank and is bolted to the rear of the tunnel. Lift up the snow flap and look for the small bolts, one on each side, just inside the tunnel.

I will briefly explain. A 2 stroke engine has a completely different combustion sequence than a 4 stroker. Fuel is drawn from the carb from the vacuum of the piston stroke as it is moving up. The fuel is drawn thru the crankcase. This is achieved since the crankcase is sealed from the outside environment by the crankshaft seals. As the seals age, they break down. Once this happens, air will be sucked in from the outside, leaning out the fuel mixture which will cause serious damage. It is best to replace crank seals on any 2 stroke engine if you do not know the history of any repairs. An engine setting for many years will probably have dried out, cracked crank seals.
