All loaded ready for test run... Uploaded with ImageShack.usOff loaded and ready to go... Uploaded with ImageShack.usLoaded ready to head home... Uploaded with ImageShack.usThat didn't go well. Buggy was running fine in the driveway but as soon as I took it off the trailer it wouldn't stay running. My guess is a fuel problem as I'm trying to gravity feed the engine from the rear mounted tank and it just ain't working right on off camber terrain. Don't know who was more bummed. Me or the kids.....

Maybe it was air locking Maybe take the gas cap off and see it if runs any better

Good idea... I had to change the cap in my snowblower since it wasn't allowing any venting. Works great now.

That could be but after I got it home and back on level ground it fired up once again. Had to add a cooler for the steering. No place to mount it so into the grill it had to go Not the cool look I was going for.... Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Neat. So the issue was gravity feeding from the tank?

My daughter driving the buggy back to the trailer after bombing up and down the dirt road. Still having a carb issue and the steering pump is a screaming sack of crap as can be heard on in the video s1151.beta.photobucket.com/user/canbuggy/media/MyMovie-1.mp4.htmlBut at least it can be driven now! ;D I sat beside her to give directions but my butt is way to big to fit in the kids seats!

More testing last weekend! Still having some issues. Installed a carb kit (a buddy did that is!) SO that part worked. But the hydraulic steering was giving me a bit of grief. Also it seems like the clutch is slipping a bit (will post a video later where you can hear lots of revving but the buggy takes a bit before it starts moving) s1151.photobucket.com/user/canbuggy/media/20130707_190535_zpse769bf58.mp4.htmlAll was going well until the dreaded 4wheeler blasted by. Lots of dust! If you look in the background you can see my son and I swerving all over the place. When all the dust hit us Brennen yells "I can't see I got dust in my eyes!" Then he LETS GO OF THE WHEEL as we are blasting along! I yell don't let go of the wheel!!! Saved! Managed to keep it out of the bushes!
