I installed the FAST modified shift shaft a few weeks ago. No more missed up-shifts!!! Great product - Thanks!

I ran them 10 hours on Saturday. Sand, mud, dry ground. . . . work pretty darn good for the $$$$. I was really impressed with them in the mud. Pulled right through some deep mud at slow speeds without any problems. Brian

Here they are. . .

So I could not help myself, and I bought these tires: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=160078014216 They are also at http://www.nebraskatire.com/atv/atv_home.htm $78 for a pair delivered to my door. They are cosmetic blemish tires. The set I received are fine, the defect is a misalignment. When they put the two halves together, they were misaligned by about 1/8" of an inch, so the paddles going across the center are offset 1/8". Got discount tire to mount them today (friend works there and did it for me free). Went riding tonight, and they ride great and have great traction. They are a true 6 ply tire, so they are a little heavier than the factory tires. Might not be for everyone, but they are cheap and heavy duty. Brian

Mine was acting similar to this, and the choke tube running between the carbs had come off of the right carb. Brian

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am curious how much play is acceptable between the basket and gear? I took my clutch apart to check for wear and to install better springs. With my new added horsepower, I could feel the clutch slipping slightly when I am moving at higher speeds where the tires do not spin, or when trying to ride a wheelie. My friction and metal plates look and measure like new. There is no wear on the basket, but I did notice that with a lot of force I can move the basket on the gear slightly as described here (the outer edge of the basket will move about the distance of one tooth on the gear; that is total from one direction to the other). The basket is still very tight on the gear. Is this acceptable, or something I should repair? Thanks! Brian

I bought a set of factory heel guards with the plastic pieces. Even included the hardware!! He sent me a tracking number within 30 minutes after I paid, and I even got them the next day. . . .A++++ Thanks! Brian

Not just diameter. Look at a cross section area that is the square of the radius. (2) 26mm carb = 2 * 13^2 * Pi = 1062mm^2 Now for single: 36mm carb = 18^2 * Pi = 1017mm^2 If the comparison was actually 52mm, you would get 26^2 * Pi = 2123mm^2 There is actually more to it than that due to the change in flow from friction against the carb body and other factors, but the point is that looking at double the diameter is way off for comparison. Brian

Thanks for the help. It took as much effort for your answer as it would have to just to ignore if you did not want to help or just verify which way mine should go. . . To repeat, I did search and read many responses. One response I found was your response to the guy with 2 bowls marked 1-2 and 1-2P. Now according to your response, the jet goes on the choke side. This was the only reason I had confusion. Otherwise I would have just swapped my bowls and put 1-1 on the choke side. Had I not found that response, every other response I found (which there are a bunch of them), says 1-1 goes on the choke side and never mentions the jet. So I have found (using the SEARCH FUNCTION) 1. 10+ responses that bowl 1-1 goes on the choke side 2. 1 response that the bowl with the jet goes on the choke side. Wth my bowl setup, these are not possible. Bowl 1-2 has the jet, bowl 1-1 does not. Let me explain a little better for you: If I put bowl 1-1 on the choke side, I contradict statement 2 above and the jet will not be on the choke side. If I put my bowl that has the jet on the choke side, I contradict statement 1 above and bowl 1-1 will not be on the choke side. I found a lot more responses that just say 1-1 goes on the choke side, than ones that mentioned anything about a jet in the bowl. Do I go with the majority, or go with your response? It would have been nice to just have someone verify which way was correct. Now, I have actually put it back together and went with the jet on the choke side, and bowl 1-1 on the right side, because it made the most sense to me. Thanks again, Brian

So I have searched and found two things: 1. Bowl 1-1 goes on the choke side (left). 2. The bowl with the jet in the hole goes on the choke side (left). My confusion. I took my carbs apart today to adjust the jetting. My 1-2 float is on the choke side, but it is also the bowl with the jet in the passage way, so I am not sure if they are swapped or not. So, bowl 1-2 with the jet on the choke side, or bowl 1-1 with no jet on the choke side? I would assume the jet needs to be on the choke side, since that carb has a tube running down into tthe passage way, but. . . Help! Thanks! Brian

Man I am loving mine too. He did a great job. He also bored my cylinders. Must have done a pretty good job on that as well. I have 22cc domes and I am getting 140 PSI compression since it has broke in. Brian

I have general contracted 3 houses for myself. A couple of things I have found: 1. In Texas, you can sub it out and not do any labor yourself and build a heck of a nice house for $60-65/ft. 2. Sometimes it is not worth doing the labor yourself. The contractor gets a nice discount on materials that he buys in bulk. Example: the house I live in now I built a year ago. I was going to insulate it myself because it is an easy job. I got a quote for a complete job (materials and labor) for the heck of it, and it was $60 more than me buying the materials! 3. Don't "save" money on the A/C unit and insulation. I have a 18 SER A/C unit, heavy insulation, and thermal foil roof decking. My house is 2988 sq ft, and my highest electric bill has been $221 in the heat of the summer. Last month it was $119. 4. Consider recirculating hot water. All hot water pipes in the house are in series with a return pipe. A small motor pumps the hot water very slowly though the main series pipe, so you have instant hot water. Very small increase in the utility bill, but worth it. I have my pump on a timer to shut off at night. Just some features that many people don;t think about that are nice. And you can't have too many electrical outlets!!! Brian

I got mine back and it is all back togther. It is AWESOME!!! He bored and ported mine. I ran five heat cycles, and now have 140 PSI compression with 22cc domes and it screams. Good all around performance. I highly recommend him. I do not know enough about other's port jobs to compare, but for the price, I know it will make a nice improvement in the overall power. . . Brian

What is "that"??? How did you fix it? I ran my last heat cycle last night for break in. Man is it a screamer. I had never ridden anything but a Banshee with pipes only on it. This thing is scary fast for me!!!! It now starts on the first kick every time. . . . Brian

send me your stock crossover tube, I will send you a boost bottle. . . .
