As much as I hate to say it, some of the problems the libertys' have had might have been avoided with Fujis. That's alright though. Libertys coming around.

If you can kill it ever you let us know, between all three that my dad and I have had(combined for over 25,000 miles between three sleds) the only way we have been able to kill them was by having a carb freeze up on it and lean out a cylinder or leaving old fuel with water in it and seizing a crank. Both were our fault for not properly storing it or else not runnning Isopropal in the fuel while the snow was fluffy and having a hole in the airbox foam.
Other them that just put oil and gas and ride it. Fugi motors will last as long as the rest of the sled and sometimes they will run longer, we have one in a go cart that had 9,000 original miles on it. It now has a top end rebuild on it.

I have a 488 that ran perfect for 10,000 hard hard miles but blew a pstion right after the 10,000 point. Threw a piston in and it runs great again.
