Spark and CDI Question

Post by Liquifire76 »

First question is simple:
1) What spark plugs do I need for 1979 trailfire 440?

Second Question:

I have 3 1976 Liquifire 440s 2 with square plug CDI and 1 with round plug.

Can these interchange or must you use the exact plug type?

I thought I read this somewhere on this site before but I couldn't find it last night!

Remember WOT & only 30 MPH in deep snow conditions burns motors down, Once up to speed if you back way out of the throttle you'll find you can go just as fast & it's easier on the motor...

You of all people should know that if your running WOT & only doing a slow MPH that all those engine RPM's & no speed will do engine damage in time, But I'll have to assume that your post was your attempt at some sort of humor towards a poor old defenseless man.
