nd UL's=0A=0AChris=0A=0A- I cannot find any info as to when the last 440
series of Kawasaki engines were built?-- That would be a kicker with me
...I feel that it has been- 20 to 30- years or more since the last ones
were made?-- I looked at one snowmobile site and found that the 440 wa
s on snowmobiles in 1980... Seems to me that it would be unusual for an eng
ine design to run for 30 years..=0A=0A- The engines may have come to the
surplus market in the early 90's..-- Searching for Kawasaki snowmobiles
for sale...the last I see is an- 1982 model...The engine was used on oth
er brands...Maybe John Deere for one?-- Herb =0A=0A- telling you this
because I believe that anyone who says that they have new 440's for sale a

=0A=0AJack getting to the point in my construction that I am sure I will fi
nish the Firefly. It was designed for the 447 but I am whondering about oth
er engines how about the Kawasaki 440? . What do you know about it?it would
be easier for me to go with the 447 but the cost is getting out of hand .
