well I finally got to take the trx out for its maiden voyage last weekend to sycamore creek.
Rode it up and down the alley 15 times before I was to be picked up for the ride, and naturally as I pulled it into the driveway to be loaded onto the trailer the carb started spewing gas out of every overflow. We got out there, I took it apart and didn't seem like anything was wrong with it so we loaded a tow rope up and went out. Didn't even run outta gas(gotta love the desert tank).
That bike ran so strong and handled really well...I coudln't believe it! Being that I hadn't ever really ridden a quad, it'd always been 3 wheels...I was impressed, to say the least.
I traded a guy my stock seat for a desert seat since after 6 hours of riding my tush was sore. Since I do the majority of my riding out here, I figured I might as well match the desert tank up with a seat. =)
Another guy here had some front plastics he didn't want anymore so he gave those to me, and I cut down the rear fenders to where they were cracked at since they felt like flapping in the wind during the ride.
Finally got a chance to get into the carb some more this weekend, and found some junk up in where the float sets, so it was just overflowing immediatly.
I think all I have left to do is replace the clutch side gasket(hence the massive looking oil splatter from when I bought it), and get a new pilot jet. I cannot get it to idle for the life of me. The needle is in the middle clip, and the plug is still coming out kind of black. What should I try first, moving the needle up a position to try to lean it out? or....
anyways....here is pretty much the final product. Gonna keep it as stock as possible.
