This is just another one of those things that everyone should have in their garage for that "bad day" cure!! :evil:

If your bad day cure is scaring the s**t out of yourself, than yes! :-D

The more I see, the more I like it.
Thanks for posting..

Thanks man!

Thats beautiful.
 I love those second gen. Tecates.
They are a blast with a 500 in them wish I hadn't sold my 85 last yr.

Hey, was that pic taken in Florence or Winchester Bay?
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

If I'm going to the coast, Winchester Bay is my favorite spot.

"Yeah its a little overkill for sure, but its not as crazy as you might think."

Yeah right! I can just hear the snicker followed up by, "Go ahead and take it for a ride"

Yes I do...   But always curious what people are running.   especially when it walks FAST quads like THAT!

port timing?   Jug lift?  head design, CC's   etc etc...    what ever your willing to give up...

The hill is at our local sand dune area in little sahara OHV, its called sand mountain. Its quite the comp hill.

As far as specs, I'm not going to be much help. Stewart set up the cyl, although I never ran it before I pulled it apart, the plating was coming off, and was scoring the piston. so I had Paul send it out and have it replated, and the piston coated. Larry set up the head. I ended up having paul machine the crank webs, install a new rod, and balance the crank.

I used a different crank, trans, and cases than my orig motor.  I also finished out the set of ceramic bearings. It originally had about 80% of the bearings ceramic. The carb is a packard 44 lectron with an oversize bowl, and the pipe is a handmade cpi. Vforce3 reeds.

I'm thinking when it needs a top end its pinsanalut time!


I have a few more vids up, did you guys find them?
