Hey Guys,
Picked up a 89' kx500 motor for my 86' t3. Did this more as a "reliability" mod vs the power increase, but you really can't have too much HP. Haven't swapped it over yet, but will be starting soon. I do have a couple questions, hopefully you guys can answer.
1. The motor has all tecate ignition parts on it (stator, flywheel, CDI and coil). What can I expect from this combo vs the kx500 stuff? Looks like a little less timing with the tecate CDI.
2. With the Tecate intake can I still use my airbox?
Hoping to accomplish this quickly, and have it ready for Trikefest this year.
