1000 cc 4 wheeler

[florida_mud_runner]

A friend of mine has built (modified) a 1000 cc 4 wheeler ! He was over here with it the other day and that thing is nothing but sitting on a motor !

I need to see if I can get him to join this site as he is always building something pretty cool and unique ! He has the fab bug and has had ever since I have known him . From home build sand rails to modified lawn tractors !

I have pics of it but I would rather him join and show his expertise in this field . This guy is very very creative !

it is snorkeled or any thing

No , its not snorkeled . its just a 2 wheel drive so a snorkel really isnt functional for it . Just the feat of putting a 1000 cc motor on a original 400 cc frame and it looking all original except where the motor is ..... I thought was awesome

I will get some pics up of it as soon as I can . But this reminds me of the motor cycle that I saw once with a 350 chevy motor on it ... The pics are on my phone , so I will work on that tonight . About time to head out the door for work

wow those are cool
looks like a wicked way to kill yourself
why go to heaven at 80 in a hospital bed when u can scream though there sideways on fire


to bad if the bike falls over
there really would be a minimum strength required to ride this wouldnt there

Very much so. I sat on one at the local fair. Very heavy! If it falls over you'd need to call a tow truck. No way one man could pick it up if it was dumped. Especially if he went along for the ride. I think the scariest part would be coming out of a burnout. I bet it gets all kinds of hairy when it starts to hook up.

Your friend did a great job packaging that engine in that quad. Refreshing to see one turn out that good. I've seen many that I was less than impressed with how the engine fit. I would recommend that you mention using Uni foam filters instead of those paper ones. I just saw some little ones at my local Honda dealer. They look like they'd fit perfect. It would suck to roach this engine over an air filter. Here's what the paper(K+N style) filters do. Look through some of these if you got a second. This thread was started by Hoser.

hmmmmm , That would probably explain why he is having trouble reaching high R.P.M's . Sometimes its clear but most of the time (under a load) it coughs and spits at the higher RPMs . Possible he could be getting to much air ? Its not to much fuel .... that would be obvious through smell through the exhaust . It almost acts like its running to lean .

Thanx FatCat , I will pass this on to him

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Apparently im blind. Your probably correct. Sounds like it's running lean. Take a look at the plugs. Post a pic of them if you've got a camera handy. If he removed the original airbox and switched to these filters you would need to go up in main jet at least one size(maybe 2) to deal with all this extra air. The fact that it breaks up under load also makes me think it's running lean. An engine requires more fuel under a load. This explains why it would rev in neutral but break up under load. You could either jump up a size in main jets or move back to some type of airbox/foam filter setup. I see your from Florida. If I was in your shoes I'd build an airbox for it. Jetting would be easier but for your location an airbox would be nice to have. You guys are always riding wet soupy trails. Those will play hell on you with open filters.
