Liquifire
340
&
440
This all new front-motor chassis was based on the
340/S. Handling and stability was greatly improved over the
previous mid-motor machines. Mikuni carbs and CDI ignition made
for great improvements in reliability and performance. The
Liquifire was the liquid cooled version, while the Cyclone was the fan
cooled version.
The Liquifire was one of the early liquid cooled snowmobiles, but not
the first.
