1983 snowfire missing at 3/4 throttle

Post by jdlee »

hi I have a 83 snowfire I think at the rev limiter is dealing me fits. where is it mounted and can I just unplug it like a liquifire. I have a 82 at runs perfect. how do you check it ? will not idle and have too hold throttle half open too start no mather what. but once she takes off she'll lift the skis then starts stuttering . I had the carb apart and clean it 3 times it's not it , will rule at out by putting the 82's on it and try it. I will also check for blown head gasket but I don't think at"s it because it pulls hard like the 82. not an air leak because I pressured check it after I put all new gaskets and seals in it. it's has to be the rev limiter at's dealing me fits. thanks for your time. lee

On Larry's Snowfire it's mounted on the back side of the plate the pull start handle passes through.

Here's a picture of the rev limiter. Try unplugging both plugs. The single wire goes to the switch in the throttle. The bigger plug is connected to the ignition.
