Wow, really? I did not know that... That's good info to know, thank you!

So using that information as a guide, this thing isn't doing too bad for a stone-stocker that's 20 yrs old.

I guess someone must have taken care of this one during it's life.

And that's crank hp, not rear hp.

**fyi** · 08-29-2005, 10:26 PM

Yeah, I figured as much. Pretty much what we also do in the HP automotive industry as well as far as ratings go.

BTW~ How can I get me a set of those gauges!? Those are really cool and I would love to have a set for my machine.

I *was* going to purchase an Autometer tach for this thing, but if I can find some Hondaline gauges instead, I'd rather have those for nastalgic reasons.

Let me know if you find another set, or if you would ever sell yours. Consider them sold if you do.

Well.... I'll speak for Swiney... that Tach isn't for sale.... and neither is mine!

They are extremely rare to find.... in my year's of ATC addiction, I've only scene 2 tachs for sale.... bought both... haven't seen any others except a Honda Pilot tach on ebay once, and that went for huge $$$$. Most Honda tachometers are gear driven while the Hondaline 350X tach is electronic.However... in the near future... a suitable "Hondaline 350X Tach" substitute maybe on the horizon.... we'll let you know when and if it is successful! Looking forward to the results myself!!!

In the meantime, there seems to be some digital tachs on the market that work.... I'm gong to order myself one soon to compare to the Hondaline ones....

Yep ,,, In am just renting/life lease type of thing on my tach. But hey ,,,,it's on My trike. I can say I have seen 3 honda line tachs
(banned + nameless one ,,, 350xINny's and mine ) but all I know of in existance is 350xINny's and mine)
I was thinking 26hp but 28 is good.

We have a 250 - 300 horse dyno at work @ our main head quarters ,,, it is a older sun unit. Quite the contrapcion ! At my work we do the propane from gas conversions ( I have no hand in that part of it ) and to see a big arse truck blocked up and going at it at 3000 rpm + plugged into all the wires + exhaust scares most folks right the heck out of the shop.

great post fyi ,,, john

**fyi** · 08-29-2005, 10:58 PM

Damn... Oh well, back to the Autometer thing then.

**Billy Golightly** · 08-29-2005, 10:59 PM

Thats some very cool info! Thanks for sharing.

**OldSchoolin86** · 08-29-2005, 11:11 PM

Actually, Swiney... you've only seen 2 then... cause the one that's on your trike was the one I bought from "the banned and nameless!".... onless I bought a different one from him and the one you saw on his trike was stolen with the trike? No problem man.... I just hate to see a guy's hopes hanging... got to squash them early! hahahaha Hopefully you have that tach for a long... long... long... happy life there ol'buddy!

**jeswinehart** · 08-29-2005, 11:42 PM

That is correct. We spoke of it . Him and I got into a wee bit of a bidding war and I recanted ( and spokewith him about it at trikefest03).

Annnnyways fyi ,,, way cool posting. keep us up to speed on your messing around.. It is some thing I have never seen on the boards before.

But my hondaline tach on my 350x (85) says red line starts at 8 grand and stays red to 9 grand.

We'll do. I find this stuff really fun and a nice change of pace.

BTW Oldschool- I don't really want to dyno other atv's on our dyno, because I couldn't live with myself if we broke your machine on a dyno that wasn't really meant for atv's in the first place. I hope you understand...

If we break our stuff, we don't care~ but if we break your stuff, you'll come after me with a club.... and we can't have that!

What he said.I'd like to find out on both of mine.Atleast you can put it on a dyno.From what i know(350x),no rev limiter(for those of you that don't know),and it makes it's peak hp at 7000 rpm,although,it will go higher,like they said and bruce has every hondaline part for a 350x! lol! John-HP figures aren't in the brochures(i looked at mine),but,it is in the manual though...27

LOL, no club here! Well if you cange your mind I'd love to get the 400x on there.

FYI - OUTSTANDING.

Did anyone notice the center picture in the first post. If not look at it again VERY CLOSELY

This second picture proves that whoever is running this test knows more than average. Any dyno without this is almost useless.

The graph looks reasonable for engine size and boost.

5 hp (~ 20%) sounds reasonable. Breakup at high RPMs is probably due to ignition fall off. Typically it starts around 6000 RPM (aka stock redline) and its effect is evident in all the curves, they start to fall off at 6KR.

Bulletproof engines - no doubt, they wil take a serious beating. Years back I tuned a stock Honda 750K to over 15,000 RPM, it ran way over the tach limit and kept on ticking.
