    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    I had some 1/4 inch clear poky line in my garage, so I extended the vent line and ran it up to the cage, behind the CVT air inlet, and back down the cage and just let it hang off my tool box at the very back of the sxs. For the most part, this resolved the fuel smell in my cabin. But need to...

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    If I vented the cap, I would run the line to the back. I feel like the space behind air intake and cvt intake is a nice spot for relocating the vent lines. There is a little covered space and that would protect the line and I'd put a filter on the end.

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    I'm starting to think that the vent line might be undersized for the pressure. I think both tank corners are pushing fumes and it should have had a larger line after the junction of the two tank lines. I was also thinking about venting my cap and running a line off it. Like the dirt bike gas...

    TAPP Clutch Install

    I'm just waiting for the new Tapp inner sheave fan. It's supposed to move a lot more air. Sounds like they will be available soon

    TAPP Clutch Install

    Did another run today. Did a few hard roll ons with ambient temps about 80F. Never seen belt get over 195F. Ambient temps at 90F or above are really hard too cool the belt off. Only solution is a lot more air flow.

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    I didn't try to tighten my fuel pump bolts, but didn't see evidence of leaking or fuel smell. I also pushed air through the tank with opposite corner lines removed and cap off. The lines definitely moved air easily. I did a ride this morning to take my dog for a run and it was completely calm...

    TAPP Clutch Install

    I sort of think that these Gboost belts are mostly the same. Visually, I can't tell the difference. In his product description, he says it is the belt that replaced the extreme and mud monster Gboost belts. I'm not sure what to think about the longevity or quality of any of the belts. So far...

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    Yep, I think we'll get to the bottom of the issue. But in our cases, it started after ru ning a while. I know others have been dealing with pressure build up in the tank, vapor lock, no start/run due to low fuel flow, and gas burping out the tank. I've never seen those issues, just the smell.

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    You running a windshield? Coincidentally, mine started smelling after I installed a windshield even with the vents open. Took it off for a while and it didn't seem to make a difference. Its back on now, but might take it off for summer.

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    Yes, I think the fuel in the tank heats up and may be boiling and pushes the vapors out the vent line, where it turns back into condensation in the vent line and then may be discharged into the frame like you said. I agree, there may be a leak around the fuel pump housing or perhaps somewhere...

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    LOL.......I think your right in some respects. Before I messed with the lines and valves it definitely smelled like raw fuel and was getting pretty strong in the last 100 miles, especially since ambient temps are over 90+F. Didn't start until I had 600 miles or so on clock. Mine seems to be...

    TAPP Clutch Install

    Installed a Bad Ass XC belt from Brute Performance. At $150 this seems to be a good belt for money. It measured slightly smaller in length than my used WBB that I previously ran on my stock clutch as well as the Tapp primary. I noticed that the belt deflection (1+ cm estimated) is almost...

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    Got the new rollover valve installed today. Put it in the section of vent line located vertically behind the wire loom cover plate with rectifer attached to it. You have to remove two 10mm bolts and a screw to remove the plate and let it hang downward. Mark the spot on the vent line about 1.25...

    Fuel Smell in Cabin

    I haven’t installed it yet. I just got it delivered today. I'm leaning towards putting it in the line vertically along the rear fender well. Either where it comes up along that electrical panel cover or pulling some of the slack and making a vertical section before it enters the frame. I don't...

    TAPP Clutch Install

    I contacted Evo a couple days ago to see when the revised fan blade for the Tapp primary inner sheave would be avaliable. They said they are waiting to hear from Tapp and would likely know something in the next week or two. I asked if Tapp would be providing some sort of retrofit for those of...
