Serious. That's how it works.
Three sleds to make two and than you have parts left over.
If you are going to ride these you will need parts for the years ahead.

Looks like your steering bar is bent as well. I ran into that on my Trailfire. BTW, the Liquifire and Trailfire rods are different lengths. The LF rod is longer.....

Good news on this motor today. 2 days ago you couldnt hand turn the clutch with two hands. Today it was 47 outside and I tried the clutch and could turn it with one hand! Looks like I might be rebuilding two liquifire motors.....
