Heres my project quad, 2002 Honda 300ex, it was raced and being rebuilt. Anything I can do make it more powerful? Its mostly going to be mudded.

 

new exhaust maybe take the airbox lid off and put some sort of outerwear on it gearing change if its going to be mudded get new tires some more expensive stuff is cams bigger carb maybe you could do some porting just make sure to rejet the carb

 

Was it raced in the stock class? Otherwise I'd be surprised if it doesn't already have motor/clutch work...

 

I know I need an air filter, I tore mine right off, and there is already no airbox.

 

I got this from a girl whos ex leaved it at her garage, I dont really know anything about it, is there anyway short of running it to tell?

 

Not really...even running it may tell you nothing...sometimes builders will put there stamp on the cylinder...otherwise a tear-down is required to identify motor work done...

 

 

Changed tires, put gas in it, and put the chain on. Battery must be shot and electric start wont work, tomorrow I going to try to push start it, any ideas?


New tires on the 300EX



22 inches next to 25 inch tires





Original 20 inch studded tires

 

If your going to be muddin with no airbox, your asking for future problems.
Mud is wet and the airfilter will not keep the water from getting into the carb and water in an engine spells trouble. Their are many other machines out there that would be much better mud machines

 

Ive changed my mind but I am unsure how to edit my posts, the air filter will be repaced when the quad starts to work.
