i finally had a chance to work on my king quad after burying it up to the handlebars in quick-sand i found in the back corner of a gravel pit pond, i did not break an axle as i was previously thinking, i tore up the rear differential, its bad enough i can grab the left axle and move the right axle with it, oops, oh well, its all part of playing, tomorrow i will tear the rearend down and see how bad i tore it up, as much strain as i had it in trying to break free i probably completely trashed the rearend!! at least the snorkel worked properly, did not get any water or sand inside my engine, transmission, front differential or rear differential, had it sitting buried up to the the top of the speedometer, the bike has been lifted, it was a little over 4 feet deep, all you could see was the top of the handlebars and the snorkel pipes sticking up, but, it never stalled out, it stayed buried and idled the whole time till we could get it out, took my honda rancher tied off to a tree with a double blocked winch cable and everything that 700 had to break free and pull out, was able to drive it back to the trailer, all in all i would say that was an awesome ride!!!! will be hopefully have it back in the game by tomorrow evening, definitely found out the 700 has plenty of power to tear itself up when you get it in a bind, with the axles upgraded to gorillas and custom built driveshafts the differentials are now the weak points, anyone have any ideas for armor tough differentials that will fit the 05 king quad 700, this bike is not stock, the original owner was in the middle of turning an almost new bike into a full blown mud drag bike when outside events made him give up on it and give me the bike, not sure the horsepower but i would not be surprised if it has 100 horses, stock parts are not tough enough

I live in saucier Mississippi, I haven't drove my Jeep in almost 2 months!! I ride my quads everywhere!!

I'm not upset at all!! We had a blast!!! It's been raining all day so haven't taken it apart yet, hopefully I didn't burn up the belt, if I did I did, all part of having fun!! Just wish I could get the videos to load so I could share the fun. They are recorded in the wrong format!! I can email them and I posted a couple to Facebook

i finally managed to make it to the trails today, been trying four days to go!! this is the first time to really ride my king quad since i removed the fuel injection, other than just around the neighborhood. i took it out to the gravel pit, had one of my neighbors ride my honda so there was backup. both bikes done great ... until we got to the frog pond!!! i decided to take the trail through the back edge of the pond, got all the way around and then right as i was getting back into the pond i sunk it!! it went down to the handle bars, luckily I put a snorkel on when i put the carburetor on it!! it stayed running, but i never even thought of sealing the belt cover and running a snorkel of that!! it would not move in high range, would try to and just slip, in low range it would move as long as i didnt gas it too hard, just shut it down and towed it back, tomorrow im taking the bike apart and thoroughly cleaning and sealing everything, and replacing belt:aargh:

not recommended for safety reasons, but, you can easily bypass the neutral safety switch by installing a starter button attached to the starter solonoid, ........ turn key on, push button, 4wheeler starts, btw it will crank in gear with the neutral safety switch bypassed

o reillys is where i get most of my common parts

our local super walmart even carries the oil filters for my suzuki and my honda just look in cross reference book hanging by the oil filters

common parts, like fuel hose, in line filters and spark plugs and most models oil filters can easily be purchased at most local auto parts houses, big savings on both your wallet and time versus going to the dealer

just go to your local auto parts house, buy replacement fuel hose same diameter, buy in line filter, you can get it cash and carry on the spot, it will work perfect, cost will be 10 bucks or less

OK, i found the carb im going to use, its a holley 2 barrel, approx 400 cfm, i will fabricate permanent base to mount it, adjust the fuel flow or rejet it with slightly smaller jets to keep from washing the rings, this carb is more than capable of running this king quad to it full potential!!

a couple of years ago i got the crazy idea to make a big air jump out at the gravel pit. i hit the top of the hill doing about 60mph, the jump was flawless except for the landing, i was coming down for a perfect landing too, except for the washout that i t-boned the front end into, 60 to dead stopped instantly, broke wrist, 4 broken ribs, had to ride back out after i was finally able to breathe again

we are having storms hitting off and on today, they dont last long but they are dumping a lot of water, my bikes are loaded now, just rechecked the seals on the snorkels, oil, water, tires, and warmed em up, headed down to some flooded trails to ride the afternoon away today

always good mud here, sometimes there is too much water to have mud, lol, not like im complaining, my machines think they are submarines anyway, lol

welcome, what type of riding do you like? over here in south mississippi we get down and dirty in the deep mud

my honda ranchers have small inline filters as well as strainers in the tanks, have you tried to leave the line off, open the fuel valve and see if fuel drains out at a decent flow ? if not remove valve from tank and clean

as long as you are running tires that are same size to keep gear ratio in front and rear matching the only problem you will have is short tire life

i test rode big boy today to see how it will do since i removed the fuel injection. its not 100 percent but its more than capable of holding its on tomorrow

well my 05 king quad 700 has been running good on a honda rancher 350 carb, except it wont open up all the way, it has enough power to sling mud bout 50 feet, but, its just choking down, the intake through that carb is too small, jets too small, it has not overheated, it has not made the exhaust glow, hasnt missed a lick, just wont get over 42mph, it has plenty of lowend power, just like i said, not enough air or fuel to make it have full power, i found a carb off of a 76 ford 300 6cyl, it is a large bore 1 barrel, it is capable of running a 4.9l engine, going to rebuild it, cut the square flange off the bottom, while its apart i will weld a round bottom collar to attach it to the original throttle body mounting boot, hopefully by tues or wed it will be in place of the honda carb and the king quad will be pulling the front end off the ground, will post updates as available

the farthest i ever drove to ride was a little over 600 miles, went to cherokee north carolina for a mountain ride, made it my vacation and stayed for a week

going to try to get video and pics of how we play down here tomorrow, hopefully i can some of my big ride totally submerged coming through some deep stuff

there is thousands of acres of paper company and goverment land in south mississippi, there is just entirely too much free riding to make someone rich to ride, these places dont need to charge so much to ride, they charge for everything, water, air, recovery, riding, food, camping, everything cost extra, the entry fee only covers the machine with one rider, nothing is included except a hard time

if my back and my big toy is ready for competition in a few months i will go to one of the parks to compete in mudfest, other than that i have no use of wasting money to enter and on fuel to ride further to ride, i am freerange rider myself, elcheepo thats me

i would hate to live that far away from trails, i would end up making my own,,,,, oops , lol

if you need any phone assistance dont be bashful. i will gladly help, dont want to publicly post my number, msg me or email at [email protected] goes straight to my phone, will help anyway i can, hate to see a fellow rider not able to have fun, especially on the weekend
