Liquifier 440 ?

[Old700]

Anyone know the operating RPM of a 1982 Liquifier 440 with the Kawasawki Liquid cooled motor. Trying to tune this sled for a friend but really need to know that spec. The poor bugger is wanting to race a 79 Blizzard 9500 this winter! Right now without any clutch work, and not shifting out all the way, 50mph @ 6000rpm is all she's got. Any ideas? or is this all his old relic has? Thanks

Darren.

I put 10000 miles on one of these. they need to run 8250 to run hard. I don't know if they will keep up the Blizzard but should be close. the JD only has 65 hp but is a lot lighter. if your tr800 clutch is worn out you will probably have put a comet on it as you will have a hard time finding parts for it.

Thanks, I will pass on the info. It allready has a Comet on it, but is in need of a rebuild. Guess it all depends on how much $$$$ he wants to throw away on this little competition.

I think with a good clutch it will be a closerace but the 9500 will take him. I hated those damnnnn things when I rode my ole Liquifier in the day. Them were some fast ole sleds. If you get it running right and end up racing them get some pics!

I think that was the same motor that was in the Invader or Intruder wasn't it,I know my old invader use to run at least 8,000 maybe more!!! Ran like a scalded dog, gotta watch the PTO cylinder those were notorius for losing the crank seal and wasting that piston and jug! Have fun makin her run!!!

Thanks guys, it should be fun but I do agree, the 9500 probably has the edge. I might have to convince my buddy to invest in a small nitrous set up. Anyone seen a Liquifier on the spray! Could get crazy!
