the last one was for sure

I think my throttle cable was the best lol

havent done anything on this lately other than trying to figure out the wiring and stripping the harnesses and keeping only wjat i want

nick that pilot harness had alot of bad wires in it

that is the best! lol

I was pulling it between my fingers before to test it but it sucked so then I figured this out to make the paddle work

Well she's gonna sit till the end of my weekend night scedual probably get to it in the spring or late winter if I'm lucky

Your dads riding you like Seabiscut I take it?

It's not as bad as last year yet...
Gotta make the money when you can.
Pl n on saving up for a new truck or might go buy a POS clunker with good MPG or move out of forest ranch the drive is getting really old 20 min every day
Worked till 3:30AM today

why is 20 mins far to drive?

and I am not sure what you do but 3:30am is ouch...I complain when I have to go 6 to 4. lol

It's a town of 1,500 people I'm the hills
So it's a 20min drive to nothing every day
Nothing here for me there's one market
It's pretty much a place for retired old people.

DAMNIT...I saw you had an update on your Rotax project and got excited there was progress.

Mine is still under a tarp with a sled hood on top of it in the barn.

lol that made me bust up

Well I forgot I took my spare bearing carriers apart to get redone
So that's kinda working on it

Well got my seals in the mail


Ordered some bearings for my front steering situation that's crappy just need to re do that as it broke on my test rides at least the Setup worked

Got a little work done to the exhaust tonight looks bad but I don't care the exhaust it the most crappy thing on this buggy

Need to Get a pipe bender or have some one bend me some parts for my rear bumper just gonna be 2 180's and a bar to protect the muffler incase i endo it


Yo D$* got a pic of that air filter set up?

Or do you know of a small square air filter that will handle the flow of this Engine so that I can make a box for it if I have to ?

Well got a bit of work done tonight

Started redoing my bump steer mounts and plates as the other ones worked/failed

After I mount them I will make a bump stop for them

Kinda a crappy pic but that's the way the old one is mounted

Got no work tomorrow so hopefully can get a lot done

looks good man

Well got some work done today

Got the bump steer and stops mounted still have to reinforce the stops when I get the parts

How does everything look and or move when you cycle the suspension?

Good
No binding unless I adjust the stops all the way out then it could bind
It was locking up when I went in reverse and turned the wheel too sharp one way or another

Hard parts now is getting brake lines made as there is only one shop in town thst can do it

Any one know the size/type of the brake lines that hool into the master cylinder on a pilot or odyssey


Then got o work on CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) and coil mount

Needs a double sheer on that steering set up

That's what the mount above it is for

Well got the steering done for now
Will find out how it will hold up When I get it running
Got the coil and CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) mounted
Found out I had a decent foot tup to use so I used it other than sun fading it will work just fine

So off to the brakes on getting some lines made or finding some online that will work

I'll snap a pic of the airbox I've got tonight. Its nice and small, has the typical clamshell design, and has an inlet and outlet port (much larger than my d/d carb). So I can plumb a big clunky K&N conical pre-filter to catch mud/etc and keep the primary filter dry & cozy and not make too many turns and bends.

Its for a Chrysler 2.5L automobile Engine that redlines at ~6500rpm, thus per the SAE J726 air flow formula, the Engine is flowing max ~201 CFM. My 2-stroke 470cc Rotax at 8500rpm is only flowing 97 CFM. Which means there's PLENTY of filter and half the face velocity. This really efficient filter will flow fantastic and will have plenty of life (dirt capacity) for a buggy that doesn't turn anywhere close to the miles of the intended application. Yes, the conditions are likely 2x as harsh but the filter will still go above and beyond its call of duty on the buggy. The media technology & performance is far superior to what a K&N-type filter will offer.

A 540cc 2-stroke at 8500rpm will move roughly 113 CFM of air.

Yes pics please, its refreshing to see someone thinking about filtration, air flow, velocity, CFM etc.

I even have a dual filter setup on my home HVAC system, prefilter then 30 or so feet of duct away another filter right at the furnace to catch what the first filter missed
