Throw them on YouTube and link them here.

Congrats! Need video so we can all live vicariously through your efforts.

Sweet sounding!

Was the Engine up to full temp during the video capture?

Liquid temp was 135degF so it was close. I believe snowmobile engines run on the cooler side anyhow. It does sound pretty good.

Congrats on getting your ride going.
on your fuel issue, as others have stated, get yourself a fuel rated normally closed solenoid valve, make sure the orifice is large enough as not to restrict your max fuel flow. as hoser stated, use a relay energized with the key switch so key on, solenoid is energized.
second note, beware of using a K&N filter, my experience is that is will let sand through.

Kuma,
I have been looking into the solenoid valve but for now I have been conscious about turning it off when it’s not running and the issue is gone for now. I have also been wondering if this was due to the carburetor float level not being set properly when I first started it, Causing the bowls to overfill. Do you have a suggestion on a different style filter? I don’t do much sand riding, but I would like to keep the intake system as clean as possible.

I got some fenders on it and it’s looking like a pilot again. Definitely need some new rear tires. The original ones that are on it have good tread and are not dry rotted but the rubber is quite hard and I’m spinning the wheels quite a bit on acceleration. Also, my belly pan skid plate won’t work with the nerf bars so I’ll have to modify it at some point. I’ll be taking it up to New Hampshire this weekend and will put it to the test.

I did a carbon fiber look wrap on the hood as well.

looks great, wish I could afford new plastic :shock:
I use a 2 stage UNI filter with an oiled filter skin over the top, I use FFT oil on the UNI and K&N oil on the skin, the skin is a fabric not the nylon outer wear.
