Prairie 650/700 Snorkle?
#1
Is anyone running one that is external where you could completly sub-merge your quad? My freind is running one on his foreman and I like it and was wondering if anyone was running one on there prairie? If they was did you make it your self or can you purchase them?
Thanks,
Josh

If you are going to completely submerge your P700, you will have to snorkly your intake, CVT exhaust, exhaust, front and rear dif vent lines, and fuel vent lines. Once you snorkle your intake, you will almost definetely have to rejet as well. Although, I imagine you are familiar w/ jetting as I see you have already done the NAPA intake mod and have a T-4 exhaust. I imagine that a raised intake will throw the current jetting off. If you do snorkle it, be sure to post a link to some pictures.
Good luck!

Funny thing is that i haven't rejetted at all. I called pro circuit to see if i was supposed to re-jet with there full-system exhaust and they said no i told them i even had a k&n also. I went ahead a turned up the air/fuel screw on the side about 3 full turns and i have no problems at all with it. It run's and drives great.
Should i re-jet..
Why would you have snorkle your dif line and fuel lines?
I understand the intake and cvt intake..
But why would you have to snorkle your exhaust it is pushing and not sucking? As long you kept your motor running.
But this isn't gonna be a boat or anything i was just wanting to have fun in some creeks and deep mud.
Just go deep every once in a while. I was just wondering if anyone else has done it?
Anyways in input would be great.

Josh,
You have to be realistic.... If you are running in deep water/ mud, there is a real chance of getting stuck and having quad stall. If your exhaust is under water, you may well suck water back into the engine. I speak from experience. It is not the end of the world, but is a pain in the butt. You end up pulling plugs to pump water from the cylinders, and having to drain your oil several times if water gets into it. For that reason, if you are going to submerge the quad on any regular basis, I would snorkle the exhaust. As for the vent lines.... Anything that vents to your diffs can allow water to flow back into them, if the lines are submerged. In regards to jetting, have you checked your plugs to ensure that you are not running too lean? The quad may seem to be running awesome, but if it is too lean you can burn a hole in a piston, burn valves, etc..... Your plugs should be a nice tan color. If they are white, then you are running lean. If black, then rich. If I had to choose between running too rich, or running too lean, I would choose rich every time. If rich, the the worst case scenario is that you are not getting max power and will have to replace plugs more often. This said, I definetely prefer a nice tan color on my plugs, as opposed to black.
