Keith, if you have an old one, could you measure the length of the gauge float arm? It's a 2.5" filler cap. You can get one for the Liquifire/Trailfire/Sportfire from The Parts Connection that's custom cut to the correct length, but if it's the longer version, I've got them here.

hey matt. i bought the sled without the cap so i dont have one to go off of. just know that the spare one i had for the trailfire was too small. i think that ones a 2" cap. i'll start looking for a 2.5" cap. any idea on the thread pitch? not sure if a cap from a mower could be used. thanks

There is the link to The Parts Connection version that is cut down for the Liquifire/Trailfire/Sportfire - they can cut one shorter one for the Sprint/Snow as well.

Tell me again (though I won't remember), how do you measure to see if it's a 2 1/4" or 2 1/2"? DA

That's what she said.

I think it is the outer edge of the threads.
