Teryx Forum Kentucky Ride Pickett 03.01.2014

This is a compilation from all the great guys from Teryx forum and Rocks and Ruts.  Thanks to all that contributed! Videos are coming.   Had a great time, logged close to 60 miles.  Only issue we encountered was 1 tire lost its bead on a PoPo.  Great day!

 

   

Just a FYI after this weekend at slade I can tell you for a fact that a T4 does not float.. 

I would strongly suggest doing something different with the gas tank vent line. Check valve or make the line longer to keep from getting water in the tank

Good point most if us have done the fuel tank vent mod. It's not just water, the fuel pump pick up sock will clog quickly from riding in dust. I put a larger vacuum check valve on mine and ran 3/8" fuel line up under the dash, terminated it with a small K&N filter.

Yeah, he also had about 6" of sand in the rear floor board from tire spinning in the creek too. About 3 or so inches in the front.

Looks like you were missing a yellow 4??????

We only needed a yellow one and an orange one to complete the set, I knew you had other plans or I would have invited y'all.

A note about venting the gas line. Just extend the line higher and top it off with a breather. The tank pressure will vary with temperature changes and fuel levels, the tank needs to expand and contract. If you put a check valve (one way valve) the pressure can vent only. So when the fuel cools or the fuel level drops and the tank needs to pull outside air, with check valve it can't.

The check valves on the T4's only let air in. Don't know why they done them like that, But they did. I just put a fuel filter in line with mine and put it back. I'm doing a belt replacement on the rex tomorrow. So I'll see how bad the filter on the pump is.
