  1. I'm game! I'll hit you up later for the details! Trying some peeps for this weekend.
  2. You are screwed. If you haven't run your quad for about as long as you last logged on...your crank bearings got seized up.
  3. I'm looking for some cool people to roll out with. All my boys flaked on me.. However, I'm not too famliar with the dunes..Only been there once. But I'm going...solo if I have too. That my friends is commitment! :biggrin:
  4. I'm rollin solo..Looking for some peoples to camp with..It's a crying same folks! :biggrin: Drop a line.
  5. However, now that I though about it somemore, your bog might not be due to poor carb draining. Unless you take the time to REALLY setup your carbs right. You will always have some sort of hesitation. You have after all, your main jets to look at, your pilot jets to tinker with, your air screw, idle screw, your slide hight and the quality of the reeds you use. Now multiply this by two for the other carb and add into that how even your slides are to each other in respect to throttle position. Don't expect a miracle with a carb vent system..it's just like a boost bottle. Just about worthless on it's own and won't compensate for other factors.
  6. Yeah, it does work..to an extent. I can hammer my quad through the whoops like nobody's buissiness! But you don't need to spend the 30 bucks or so that they'll charge you. for 5 bucks you should be able to pick up some tubing and couple of extra bucks will get you the fittings. The trick is to set it up so you don't get vapor lock in the drain line. So set the fitting as close as you can to the float bowl and rout one line up and the other down and away. The line going up wll allow air to get in and enable the fuel to drain faster plus equalize the pressure in the float bowl so that new fuel can come in. I bought that pj1 system years ago and have been running my own setup eversince. Works great.
  7. I set mine up at the track. Took me all day. Then I went and got a steering stabilizer and it made a world of difference. Screw the bottom ball joints in as far as they go. If not, you'll risk bending them. I went through a half dozen ball joints before I figured this out. Then, measure the heim joints on the upper A-arms and ensure that you are getting no binding through the motion of travel and that it doesn't add to the bump steer. I honestly forgot what I set mine to..it was years ago and I haven't messed with it too much since. Those A-arms will last a long time!
  8. Does it chatter with the clutch pulled in or out? You might just have your plates dragging. Make sure you adjust it right. Also don't get it confused with your water pump noise or piston noise. My shee grumbles a bit at idle. But it's no thing.
  9. So, it has been forever since I logged onto this site. Glad to see my account was still active :biggrin: However, I have a problem.. Everyone I know isn't going to Glamis this weekend or they flaked. We were supposed to have this HUGE RV..but that whole deal fell through. So now I'm left rolling solo and I'm looking for some peoples to camp with. I live like two hours away in Lake Havasu AZ..I'm ready to go, got my stuff packed and my quad all bling blingy! This weekend is supposed to be NUTS! Drop a line. :cool: I know there are some people going!
  10. I've rocked realtors before. They worked great for coal mines..but they are heavy, make a lot of noise and don't grip very well on hard surfaces. Plus they are wide and gives my quad a tippy feeling when cornering hard. The large openings between the lugs screams puncture me! I've had like 4 plugs in one of my tires alone after finding some sharp stuff. But the 6 ply means a tough carcass. I haven't found a real good tire that hooks up well in all conditions. The holshot MX's 18x8x10 are bar none the best for hard pack clay or dirt track. Regular holshots just spin up a storm...they equally suck on all terrain and are my general purpose choice as the stiff sidewall helps keep the quad stable. Turf tamers are good if you groove them, but at 2 ply they don't last long and holshot mx's are better. Nothing will hook up better then a set of paddle tires in the sand. The Razors are basically holshot tires with different tread pattern on the front...they don't turn as well as holshot mx's do and they are a harder rubber compound.
  11. I look for places that don't have additives such as detergents in their gas. Though that's getting harder to find. Also look for fuels that don't contain ethanol. That too will be hard to find as all the anti smog laws are forcing at least 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE depending on the time of year. Steer clear of the budget gas stations and Cheveron. Cheveron puts Techron in all their gas which affect the lubricating properties of most ester and especially caster based pre-mixes.
  12. I'm running pump gas and about a 4 degree timing advance with a milled head at .030. You should be fine. I have been told that you can mill as much as .040 off a stock head and run pump gas. I have yet to find this out for myself.
  13. Downshifting under power? You are asking for trouble. That's how people blow motors.
  14. What's a timing curve? Is that like a powerband? I bought a pink powerband to put on my bike..the dealer said it's better then stock. :biggrin: Just kidding! I could squeeze some more ponies out of my motor, but I'm a little old school.. I just tweaked my timing plate a few degrees and did a seat in pants evaluation. I'd love to get my motor on some diagnostics program and dyno it. I found that it ran better with the stock curve setting. All the others had some abnormalities..whether in idle or at WOT. However there was a VAST improvement over the stock CDI.
  15. Ahh The GREAT Debate rages on! Quite simple are my reasons for prefering Toomey's. My T-5's are like 6 years old. They fit very well and they last plus you can get to the spark plugs very easily with no real effort at all. The mufflers are very easy to repack. It's a very well thought out product. :thumbsup: It's very easy to overlook spark plug access when considering a pipe. But, when you are jetting your engine for performance or doing routine maintainence..it helps. Sometimes I find myself pulling plugs 3-4 times during a race event just to make shure I'm jetted right. I would however recomend that whatever pipe you get, spend the extra cash and get it chromed. I have made that mistake. Also let's not forget mention that Toomey's make great power to boot! If not the best power curve of any pipe.
