I was going to mention the belt and pulleys at 17:13 as the belt went so loose there.Something wasn't moving right.I thought lighter weights in the top,especially as you said you're putting bigger tires.You guys did a great job.
Bro , all u need to do is toss a exterior mounted fuel regulator the plus about this is , ability to 1: adjust pressure to desired . 2: utilize a pressure Guage inline . 3: have a factory port for electronic fuel pressure Guage in digital read our on dash ...
That thing sounds so sweet. Definately needs a little clutch tuning. And you really can’t tell how fast it is with all the POV shots. It would be nice if someone would take video of you riding it. Sweet project!
Sounds real good. Agree on the clutch tuning. If it were me, I'd delete that whole clutch and just run a straight chain drive, and experiment with different sprocket sizes.
There’s no clickbait here, she certainly does have a bit of the get up and go. With the 26’s, she’ll run even quicker. Thanks for taking us along for the rides. God bless you all.
Just a question... Is that battery an AGM or flooded type battery? If flooded it will eventually leak on everything under the vent port. If it is an AGM then there is nothing to worry about leaking. Excellent to see this build rolling and ripping.
It looks like your secondary clutch(lower pulley) spring needs to go to the next stiffer position witch will take care of that belt slacking out when operating. There’s multi positions when you take clutch off and pop snap ring off the clutch pops into two and then you’ll be able to see the spring and the spring positions. And it will hold the gear longer so it don’t max out. I agree it’s shift to easy/to quick. But position change will take care of it as the multi position holes are more then enough. Like if you put spring in stiffest position then it would not shift at all. So I’d try that before buying a spring. Rare to need to replace that spring
Seeing the closeups of the CVT made me wonder if you could, sometime in one of your builds could you discuss pros, cons and applications of using a CVT over a clutch or vise versa? I'm an old fart who had a mini bike and go-cart looonnnggg time ago and they were clutch, so that's all I know.
It needs some clutch work for sure the primary needs weight taken out of it You can see it not coming all the way together when your at Max RPM that's probably out of a snowmobile which revs a lot higher RPM than that motor the second Needs index or stiffer Spring. You can get a different helix for the secondary To change how fast it shifts basically 1st gears your primary clutch an 2nd gear secondary clutch go watch some snowmobile clutch work videos .get the clutch right i bet you'll be real surprised. 👍
Man I'm using the new NOCO 14 group lithium battery with built in BTS, it's better than my Antigravity battery by far! $100 on Amazon and it's made in the USA
34mm on a 625cc? You doing that for the age of the rider? Seems awfully restrictive. Looks like it gets up and goes but I wonder what a 46mm would do with that size engine. Sweet ride, dig the rear trailing arm stuff.
Hey red beard can you do a video that focuses on the alignment of the polaris pvt system from pulley alignment to belt tension? For some reason it is a subject that none of the builders touch on.
I cringed super hard watching you drive that pin out of the float stand on that carb.... I've watched a bunch of guys break the posts off doing it that way... I mean... You got it... And you obviously know what you're doing... I just always wedge those off using a pair of side cutters... Much safer. That said... Awesome build! That thing looks like fun. And the Polaris transmission looks like the way to go... Cheap and plentiful!
Omg do not ever use a damb ball pin hammer on a brass carburetor piece no reasonvto ever hit anything with a hammer on or near ... what's wrong with this dude. Is he not a mechanical guy ? Is he a new diy type who's learning? Or just a bone head wrenching theory..
