  1. im also in the process of doing the dc conversion, the only thing i would point out is not to ground the light circuit to the frame, as from what ive gathered researching it needs to go back to the battery to keep the lighting and ignition circuits on their own ground

     

    not to jack your thread but i also need an idea of what battery to use, ill me running 35w hid, so what battery spec do i need? will a 12v 5ah lead acid work?

     

    something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/12VOLT-5AMP-HOUR-RECHARGEABLE-SEALED-GAME-FEEDER-CAMERA-ALARM-BATTERY-12V-5AH-/170926631246?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cc05694e

  2. hey, i was just wondering if its safe to run with no regulator if im not using lights, mine fried last night and i want to ride but dont have a spare and cant get one besides online. also im using a 200w stator, got the stator and rectifier in a kit from rm stator and it lasted 10min.

  3. oh ya, ive checked everything mechanical. leak down dropped 1/2 psi after 10 min and held, both plugs look the same after it idles for 20 min like that, and it runs clean and hard, i just havnt had time to start checking electrical. the only reason i know something is up is by watching the smoke coming out, both pipes feel like the same temp at idle and after a lil rip.

     

    the inside of the cages are still nice and shiny, the only part that looks "sand blasted" is where the reeds close against the cage.

     

    Im 99.99% sure theres no dirt getting in, everything was spotless when i took it apart, filters are oiled, and i would never use chinese or paper filters on my motor. but i dunno what else it could be so what can i say, maybe that fuel fragrence shit i used a while back? either way at least hes willing to do something for me and i do appreciate it.

     

    Im not unhappy with what hes doing for me dont get me wrong

     

    is it really that likely theres dirt in the fuel im buying? cause i get it at the same place every time

  4. Notsed.....what did you do or replace to fix your rattle?

     

    it was something to do with the gear on the kicker shaft not going back towards the case enough and rubbing the idler gear, i think it was because the return spring wasnt in its notch letting it push the gear up. i think thats what it was, it was a long time ago.

  5. yea chariot has always been good to his customers!

     

    let us know how it turns out

     

    he said hed be sending a new set of cages but not reeds because he thinks there was dirt going through them either from the air filter or in my fuel. he also said that a lot of those chinese filters are crap and if i have a paper filter it should be oiled even though a lot of people say it shouldn't.

     

    Really?? sounds like he came up with whatever he could to explain the problem Idk. not sure if i want to spend the money on reeds and have the same problem again in 8 months.

  6. ok ill check that too, just got a reply back from chariot and like the response i got, although ive never noticed dirt going past the filters...

     

    I have one other set that did what you are describing. Only one out of close to 400 sets sold. I think it is because of the air filter letting dirt/sand in a little at a time. It looks like it was sand blasted. In either case I will take care of you on it.

    Thanks

  7. ive done everything i can think of to find out why one side isnt smoking half as much as the other, switched plug caps, new plugs, changed carbs left to right, put different carbs on, compression is 150 and 152, pulled the flywheel to make sure it didnt rattle or anything, leak down held 7psi for 1/2 hour.

     

    pulled the reeds they dont look bad besides the center support cut almost all the way through the reed, there was also about a 1/16" gap at the tip of all 4 pedels and the support seems to be worn in where the peddle was closing on it. Chariot reed cages BTW. and they arent even a year old. , maybe this is why it was running stronger on one side? both plugs look rich, maybe its the reeds and something else? what you guys think, heres a few pics

  8. pull the reeds check if the peddles are still in good shape... sometimes doesnt take much to harm the peddles.

     

     

     

    also... Chariot states you get more flow out of Vforce reeds on 421 and bigger builds.

     

    i am going to check them, but i was just wondering if id see any improvement over the charriot set up.

  9. i have a 421 serval with the charriot reed cages, i was wondering if anyone thinks switching to v force 4's would be any benifit. there seems to be a lot of blow back coming out my carbs when i rev it, i can see lots of spray coming out, im not to sure how much is normal but there not even a year old. thanks

  10. ive had a set of these tires for about 6 months now, they do seem smaller then they say they are and mine were concave even with lots of air. they wore out on the outer treds rather fast. i wont buy another set of those. they dont hook well either
