Hey guys, Great forum. I have a question for you pros on a quad I recently purchased on e-bay. (It'lll be here Fri.) OK here goes. This is an all stock 02 cannibal that the prior owner claims needs a fuel pump. Story is the pump will prime, start bike & quit. Guy claims he ordered another used & same thing. Ordered another used from same person & the fitting threads were trashed. My first thought was probably a bad relay or whatnot but he said he bench tested w/jump box & no fuel flow. He never did say about testing the one w/bad threads. Could I swap housings from one to next if the one works ? How about cut & tig it ? Is the Ford Ranger pump really an alright way to go if I need to replace ? I read also of one from Summit. Should i wait for the latest d&m to be released or buy whats available now ? Kinda like the idea of possibly being able to switch multiple maps on the fly. (is that right ?) Still learning. I plan on doing all updates including stroker while its apart. Maybe 500 if available. Sorry for long post , just siked about new machine !!! Thanks again---Proflow

 

Send it to ATK, they will stroke it to a 450 and fix the 4'th 5'th lag for under a G

 

Switching maps on the fly is done with the Map select kit. You can do it with a laptop with the D@M kit but not while riding. The Ranger fuel pump works fine. Check fuel pressure. Do you have the mc500 computer or the mc1000 . Only the mc1000 can switch maps. The mod nadine is talking about is the motard 5th gear which narrows up the gap between 4th and 5th gear . ATK does not stroke engines. They only use larger expensive bore kits. Falicon and Timbomoose storke the cranks. The motard gears are pointless with a stroked/ported engine because there is so much more power that you will never notice the gap.

 

Thanks for the reply, what all is done ? Do they actually swap the crank & rod ? Id like a different 5th, thats for sure.

 

Woops, didnt see your post Wistech, thats what I thought on the ATK deal. Im not sure why this post resurfaced, I started it back in July. Thats cool, since then Ive done the Ranger pump, cleaned injectors & swapped out the spun flywheel. Oh yeh, HMF slip on too. She rips !!! If I had one complaint it would be it fouls plugs easy. Im running the moto/speed map. (got a d&m) Sometimes I forget to fire & walk away for a minute before touching the throttle. The next plug I put in maybe an 8eix instead of 9. I Just won the last Speed that went on e-bay for my wife also, its on the way from Missouri. Thanks all-----Proflow

 

Fouling plugs. Drop your offset by .2 and raise your flowrate by 100 .That should lean it out. Do a throttle recalibration for better cold starts.

 

Jeez wistech, sorry man...Stroke and bore got mixed in my head. Im thinking about sending my engine in for the transmission and the 450 kit

 

Sorry man just needed to corrct you on that. I would only use the 5th gear mod on stock engines. You will regret it if you increase power . Unless you run in sand all the time you will be looking for much taller gearing .

 

I dont really need the 5'th thing, i have enough pickup to compensate, i still want 17 more cc though
