Its Alive

There is something soul stirring in driving a fast two stroke machine.

Amen, Marc.

Had a chance to do a litttle testing today. The engine clutch hooks up well but the trans side converter opens too quickly not allowing the engine to rev out. Will work on it this week. The runs past the camera were not at full throttle. Driving this beast is a blast.

Very cool Mark. I can't wait to see it in person. Looks like you might need the salt flats to see how fast it can go.

I took the liberty of re-posting the link here so it would be easier to get to.

You don't have to embed the video, just post the URL. The site does the rest for you

edit: Cool video, that is one of the coolest looking AATVs and it looks fun to drive!

Seems to be a screamer. That roll bar looks great. Great vid.

Wow! Two Scrambler videos in one day. Looks like an Air Bud shot is in your future.

Running GREAT!!!! Looks like were going too have a lot of runners at Philipsburg, this year. Nice work, Marc.

Working on the CVT

The CVT was loading the engine with too high a ratio just after about 50' creating a big drop in rpm, from 4500 rpm engagement to 7500 back to about 5000 rpm.
You can see some tire spin in the previous video in the first 20'. The engine has a Comet 102C and the trans has a mid 90's Polaris. Both are very adjustable. The Polaris side was opening too quick for the load and not holding in lower ratio long enough. Removed the Polaris and reset the spring to the highest spring tension 4. We have a big improvement but may be able to go a bit more tension with the next size spring. I have a spring and a progressive cam on order but will probably keep it the way it is for Phillipsburg.

I was only able to throttle up the engine on the near side of the camera to keep the neighbors from complaining.

Nice Job on the build! You can hear that the RPM's are more constant now with the new spring. It looks to be a well behaved machine also, seems like it responded to your input very well. All hail the T-20!

Looks & sounds awesome. I think you should ask your neighbors if they might be interested in moving.

Hey Mark,

That looks scary fast! It seems to stay put too.

I can't wait to see it.
