As they say on Mythbusters, "don't try this at home kids, I'm a professional".

I had to get the quad out to test the carb settings I had made changes to. This is how I rigged it up to ride...at least on the smooth street here in the neighborhood. Pretty getto huh?




Worked out pretty good until I came into the drive a little too fast and the rear "linkage" cracked.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I've polished the intake, have the jet kit from Raceway installed, I've set the clip on the needle in the lowest groove, and the mixture screw is 1 turn out. It was WAY WAY too rich when I first took it out, ended up the clip that holds the needle down wasn't in right, my fault. I had already adjusted the mixture, but the plug reads good so I'll leave it for now until we can get out and ride it more, ie on some hills. Seems to have more power, and no flat spots in the throttle.

 

needle....?????? and where is the mixture screw???... still learnin

The needle is inside the throttle slide. The mixture screw is on the outside of the carb on the side closest to the engine. It is a brass screw looking thing with a slot in it. Unless there is a way I don't know about you cannot adjust it without taking the carb off the intake.

 

oooo.. and i have to take it apart because i have to re jet when they come...and it burns relly lean

 

Had you put that shock cover on the 2x4 I would have never known! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

lmao! No joke outofline, that is some funny funny stuff. It reminds me of Dr. Wierd on ATHF "What has science done!?!?!?!"

What brand/part number are those shock covers? They look freaking awsome. Do you just cut them to length? What holds the top and bottom in place (I assume you didn't compress the springs and wrap them around the ends)

did you put those tires on?????....and whats with your oil cooler its different than mine

 

The shock covers are from Moose Racing. Part #56-0190 in the good 'ol Dennis Kirk catalog. They come in red, blue, and black. They have elastic on the top and bottom, and are split up the side. After you wrap it around the shock it has velcro to hold it "closed".

The wood parts actually worked out great. You might not have noticed it with the cover on, but man I could feel it. I felt every expansion joint in the street. It was the curb into the driveway that did the rear in. I didn't figure it would last long anyway. But it served it's purpose.

The cooler looks different than your's probably because of the guard I made for it. It has already kept several sticks/crap from hitting the cooler.

I found those rear tires at Walmart on clearance. I bought them and had them mounted up for around what one tire would have cost at full price. They are better suited to the places here we ride here in Indiana than the holeshot tread on the factory tires.
