2-stroke IT490 motor swap

[Gen1Pat]

Damn, Im excited to hear this beast run and see it in action. The kicker area looks fine, just clean up your cut and it will look better. Frame looks nice too.

Ya read my mind!lol. Looking sweet man

All that I really have left to do is rejet the carb, and weld some spring hangers to the head pipe.
Of course theres a bunch of little things left as well, but those are the 2 major things I need to get this thing running.

The 465 kicker is a bit short, and it's a chore to kick it over. But it does work.
I'm super stoked to get this thing out for a rip, it's been to long in the make'n.. lol

Sorry for the delay on updating this quads status. I know a lot of people are curious about it.
So I do have it running, but I don't have a cell phone right now to take any pics.
I've been stupid busy work'n, + I've been building a gokart out of an old wagon for my son. So just hang with me here, I'll have some video of it blast'n in a week or 2..

I heard that jetting these 490s is a big bitch

I heard that jetting these 490s is a big bitch

They can be.. The trick is to start fat, and lean it into power.

There are a bunch of variables like, fuel type, and oil type. Altitude, ect". These motors like to run a bit rich anyway, cause they can get pretty hot at idle. They ping like a mofo if their a bit lean.

I want to jet it a bit rich for trail riding. I might swap in a bigger pilot, but keep the main a bit leaner??

I'm hope'n to be home soon, then I'm gonna go nuts on getting this quad running. :tup:
