Yeah that sucked but a great trip overall. Hell getting through the whole trail the first time after all the work ive done and no breaks is one hell of an accomplishment.
Im working on compiling my hydro part list for you. i havent forgotten! On the plus side i tested the hell out of the hydro and it did great. Steered with one hand through the rocks on 40s with 15 psi.
Where i got in trouble:
Almost rolled down the hill due to the carb choking and dieing:
Bmxbryant to the rescue:
k85 making sure i didnt roll back down the hill:
That's where you will grow to hate carburetors.

Wait til you get the front locked, that makes the steering interesting.
almost looks like you went off the trail? My carb went dry on a climb too
bmxbryant9 came to the rescue

My front is locked. With the hydraulic assist, it still turns pretty easy.

I was more or less talking about it pushing through turns

Yeah i could see k85 in the rear view plowing more than i was but not too bad. Never went off the trail its just super steep and off camber. Would have been easier to come down instead of going up
Yep im already there. i was going to talk to dremu about his tbi setup. Maybe i can get one from the junkyard.
Whatever you do, don't go cheap. I learned my lesson there......

Yeah I think tbi would be a good stepping stone. cant afford too much but also need to get away from the carb.
Stock q jet.
haha that picture doesn't help
Looking up at BMX is where he needs to go and where he stalled. God damn that was scary watching you roll back AND close to my brother. I stayed about 4" off your tailgate for the rest of that climb, no exaggeration lol.
I noticed my turns were wider than the others. Zak can unlock his front.

Yeah definitely doesnt do it justice. I felt bad for your brother because when i finally got stopped i looked over and there he was in the passenger window. Good thing nothing bad happened. I appreciated the rear support lol
