Quadding is so different at night. Plays tricks on the eyes.

Default Snorkel

Those wheels should make the stance 2 inches total wider front and back. While waiting for tires/wheels. I decided to tune my carb. Ended up breaking off the tip of the fuel screw in the carb////too far in.. Have moose carb rebuild kit now coming too!. Kit looks to include adjustable needle.. My stock needle only has 1 position. Decided to build snorkel while waiting for parts. Heres a video of the build so far.Kawasaki bayou 220 250 snorkel - YouTube
Did not wanna cut fender so instead I'm cutting $20 front hood. Flex pvc/Spa tube. Have flex coupling for break in hose.. For easy maint. Screw that Holds air box in place holds that 1 1/2 90 tight. Seems I need to run the vents off the valves up high too! any other hoses need snorkeled? thanks if ya know. Adjusted valves. Exaust was too tight.
any advice.
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa
cheers

Found this
http://www.world-of-atvs.com/atv-snorkels.html

1 guy in a vid said he popped 2 motors in h20. Seems theres so many lakes it;s a must.
but whatever

I ended Up running the crank case vent that went down ,,into air box instead. Wheels tires came in mail. Looks cool. My moose racing carb rebuild kit came with 115 jet. I ran the needle clip down a notch (richer) Way to lean. Switched to stock 117.5. still too lean. Drilled115 out a 130 with numbered bit So I jumped from 117.5 to 130. Rips great.
Gonna run carb vent up snorkle (need tube). The clear hose is other end of crankcase vent. Chrome lug nuts now on too!

Default took for ride

Went quading tonight for a couple hrs. My engine temp was around 200,Plug looked nice tan. The wider taller front tires make it twitchy. Almost seemed like they were catching the mud more and slowing / stopping me. Might have to get non aggressive tires for front.

Default think i got it dialed

My jets came today. They sent me a 127.5 not a 122.5
Anyways I used the 125 main, needle middle and 35 pilot. Runs strong can snap the throttle and get solid wheelies out of 1st and 2nd with no wanna stall the motor bog.
But what ever
cheers
