Well that explains a ton! Lol thanks Nopick!
No problem. In the picture I posted you can see where the old silencer was mounted. It's the nice clean clean spot in the foreground!!
I got it mounted correctly and I also got the impeller shaft ground down and all new seals in my water pump. Also got the wires connected for the new cdi. There's a lot of empty wires (wires ran but cut that go nowhere) on my original harness gonna track down where or what they went to and either connect them or seal the ends with some hot glue. Waiting on my carbon fiber motor mounts and stator cover. Having some steal mounts cut tomorrow and gonna get my busted stator cover back if the mold had been made. That way I can try firing this thing up again and see if it fires a little easier and do some heat cycles.
This Zilla better be running by page 25.
Keep in mind rider I stated many times I'm not a 2 stroke or for that matter a small engine mechanic. This is my first rodeo when it comes to taking an engine off a frame or pulling an engine apart period. I hope it's running by page 25 lol and if its not its going to a professional mechanic to get it running! Lol
Im just messing with you. The old forum had a arab fella building a Zilla that went on for 40 pages I think. Probably the funniest build thread I had ever read.
I hope my thread isn't funny but that it can help people read the hurtles I've come across to help them avoid dealing with the same hurtles. Most people have experience in doing this before they tackle something like this, I on the other hand just have a mechanical aptitude and a desire to learn new things. I read Derasi's (think that was his name) thread on the old site when it was up for that month or two.
Well you certianly seam to be covering you bases and all the possible things that could go wrong have gone wrong for you. hope it runs for christmas.

airbox came out good. how much di dthe Q pipe run you?
Bought it used from a member on here I think I paid $625-$650 including shipping.
Slowly but surely ironing the kinks out of it. You should have one damn reliable quad by time you are for though!
Not yet skunk weasel! Awe he deleted his page 25 post. Got everything together with exception of the motor mounts which I had new aluminum ones cut until my carbon fiber mounts are done. Also waiting on my stator cover my dad keeps forgetting to get it back from his fab guy that's making the carbon fiber cover. So if he has the mold made I can have it back if not I'm still waiting. Seeing is that this thing already sheared a flywheel key and slung it off I'm nervous to start it without a stator case cover.
Just got me some headlights.
Man ... I wanted to hear how that motor ran!
Buck man... Cool your jets
Better keep going till we hear that Zilla rip and shred
Pg 27.5?
So engine has ran a few times it keeps sheering flywheel keys. So I'm stumped don't know if I need a new flywheel or if maybe not having it torqued enough. The keyway looks sharp on one side where it keeps sheering. I found my crank seal had popped completely out back when the key sheered and my motor mounts broke. Thinking I need new crank seals. Haven't done a leak down test still would the crank seals being bad or loose cause a lean condition that could be causing my flywheel key problem along with a sharp loose keyway?
