$200 zilla build sneak peak
« on: April 10, 2013, 07:25:23 pm »
Got the zilla put together so I can ride it until I get some more money for the little things. I have under $2000 in this quad. When I purchased it for $200 it was clapped out. It started 3rd kick after rebuild. Still need jetting dialed in.

Got the new clutch basket and plates put in. Head squish was right at .051" first shot with new comtec gasket. Hopefully it won't suck the dam gasket on the first ride like last time. Holds good pressure on the leak down test. Just need a front fender and some new tires.

Yea I'm happy with it. I took a long time to finish it because I was waiting for good deals on parts. I would like to thank all the guys I purchased parts from on this site. It really helped with the budget build.

Someone did a straight seat on a Zilla recently. Can't recall who.
