    Very nice! Which clutches did you run? Where and how did you mount the radiator? PS I just got a message back from slim pickins . His G10 has 250 hours on it and still runni g strong. It seems that the g10 engines are taking the side load just fine (the side load from the tension on the crank caused by the cvt clutches)

    thanks mike and spookum.

    Nice to know, i had a thought about the crank, time will say the truth.

    I run a snowmobile P85, 12'' center, 35mm offset, with a dayco HPX5013 (3211070). The radiator is mounted front of the engine bolted on the custom hood



    Next Week i will test the machine on the trail

    You must be an ok guy! I see barley pop in the top left... my favorite brand!!! Any way, i do worry about the lack of the ventaltion on the sides and rear of you home made "hood box". When you feild test it, if it runs hot, just pull the hood off and you will be fine! Looks WAY WAY good! How did you get the nice 90s in the radiator hose?

    Looks great.
    It's going to be warm inside that cab. Nice though, wish I had a half cab for mine.

    Hey spookum.

    Well thats some basic 1'' abs barb fitting, seems to hold the temp and pressure is not that big.

    The best solution would be any brass or stainless 90 barb - barb 1'' fitting

    HI RD thanks for the reply

    Yeah at least i can let doors open and rear window also :P

    For what i have ridden yet the radiator fan kicks in only sometime so i guess that is a good start.

    Solution for overheat in hood might be installing a fan to blow heat out of the hood and wrapping the inside part of the exhaust. Having dual blower fan for brake cooling helps alot filling the cab with fresh air.

    I have tried many things to stop secondary turning when on Neutral, but i think its pretty normal the belt will keep the clutch turning since on neutral there is no resistance. So here is a new part for stopping the secondary clutch when your on neutral and want to shift. A little brake lever with a rubber pad to stop the pulley when shifting from neutral. This will prevent any grinding shift and saves my trans gear in long term.






    have a good day everyone, now working on a given honda civic wiper motor to fit on this cab !

    hi everyone

    i got some update informations for the clutch setup

    this setup is pretty good, bunch of torque and the backshift is really fast when you need to turn on hard ground. Can go pretty fast also but its not my need there hehe.

    Belt : DAYCO HPX5013

    primary clutch : 12 inch center to center, 35mm offset with driven,
    ramp/weight : 10M (49,5 gr)
    primary spring : Polaris 7041132, white, 34-141 lbs

    Driven clutch setup

    Driven spring : EPI 03-PDS12, 63-125 lbs
    Driven Helix : SLP 40/32, position 1

    Argo is running great now ! i've relocated the radiator to the back and upgraded it with an honda civic aluminium type. I also have changed the thermostat for a 180F Now i can run at every temperature and it stays at 190-195 F.

    I have 25 hours on it and no big problem yet

    Video will come someday lol, i always forget to pick it up when its time to ride..

    have a good day
