Heading to Pismo middle March, Rugged Radios is hosting us again this year, the official Manx club March run.
Been running my buggy around town, and she wouldn't idle cold. Carb has been untouched for at least 5 years. Only air filters.
I decided it could use a good cleaning. Ripped it of today tore it down cleaned it up, not as dirty as it could have been, many many hours off road.
For the most part, it runs great. Ever so often I'd need to feather the throttle to keep it running on steep grades and off camber. My theory is the bowl vent spilling into the venturi.
You can see the hole here.
I added a sort piece of 5/16 steel tubing.
Then a piece of pvc clear vinyl tubing
The finished product. Almost have to flop to spill fuel out the bowl vent now
This isn't just a dune buggy issue. All carbs have bowl vents. So if your off roader gets fat, or runs crappy off camber or steep inclines, might be bowl vent spilling

Dune Buggies of the Outer Banks | October 16th-19th 2024 Manx on the Banx returns | Facebook
October 16th-19th 2024 Manx on the Banx returns. The east coast revival started here in 2011 and its impact on the dune buggy community has been priceless. So many memories and friendships began on...

Think I need @ktmoutfront to cut an access hole in my skid plate, you know like the genetic he just did for a customer
Not as artsy as @ktmoutfront does, but functional.
Last of the good HP1 oil filters
buggy getting a much needed oil change, nut and bolt check
Don't expect any HP1 filters you buy today to look like this, or made in USA. I've had this for 8 years

Excellent onion rings at Slash X, rolled a bead on powerline road, guess next purchase for dune buggy is bead locks
