I'm just curious, cause it's alot easier to find a larger card of a snowmobile. I can't think of anyreason why it wouldn't work, I'm just not sure if there's some important detail I'm not thinking about, or if I'd be able to hook everything up easily. I haven't really sized it up yet, thought I'd ask if any one else has done it first.

It depends on what kind of four wheeler you are putting it on. I have not done this but it would (in my opinion) not be wise to put a two stroke snow mobile carb on a four stroke quad. Four strokes need accelerator pumps for throttle response but two strokes do not. If it is for a two stroke carb it very well may pay off to do it. just my $.02

You're probably very right. I never thought about the accelerator pump. And I was thinking about it for a four stroke. I was more worried about the oil injection line, but I thought there would have to be an easy way to deal with that.

Do you a four stroke needs an accelerator pump, but not the 2 stroke? Just curious.
