[MrMUDMANN]

[3145ninja]

Could this work on a polaris trail blazer 250 and a polaris scrambler 400 1999

[brandonhorn01]

Plz reply!

[zimmerly456]

did you lose power 

[OlCountryBoy297]

i have a 09 honda foreman 500 es and i want to run my vent lines. i know there are two from the carb. i need to do this cuz water gets in there. Are those the ONLY lines i run? no rear break or front/rear dif? i cant put a snorkel on but i can at least do this for now. i can go deep but jus not over my seat.

[Jared123487]

Hey will this work on my fourwheeler i have a honda racnher 350 ES

[HMFboy29]

nvm i wa thinking of my atv sorry haha

[HMFboy29]

you did that wrong.............. take the clear hose plastic going to gas tank and do it from there

[smallman334]

i have a question if you have to man bends dont you gotta get bigger jets?

and if anyone knows a video how to put snorkels on a 650 v2 arctic cat could someome please send me link or giv me more details of how to contruct them i really want/need snorkels for mud nats this summer coming

[Rags163]

@smallman334 yeh when u create bends it restricts air flow, therefore you get higher fuel: air ratio so.. you have to lower your jet size. You can totally avoid this by using vacuum hose, which creates less restriction and is easy to work with.

what is music???

[ASSMANSASS]

Looks great ! ..This is what i need on my cf moto but i cant find any ready kits for it ! :( build it myself yes that would be an option but not so handy with these kids of things.

[rkmvp44]

do you have to have a line running from your exhaust? i want to only snorkel carb. can i do that? will i lose power?

[Rags163]

@rkmvp44 yeh you don't have to snorkel exhaust, but the downfall to that if your stall in the water the water will travel through exhaust

[Rags163]

@kathleen7046 dont have a cam

[TheBmxdude28]

can you do it for me?

[Rags163]

@TheBmxdude28 sorry dude. Its called DIY for a reason

[TheLemonlime19]

i change my mind $895

[Rags163]

@TheLemonlime19 Mate you'll be fine on your own. Just make sure you do the research on things that you're unsure of.

[TheLemonlime19]

could u do it for me for $455

[TheHondakid98]

@TheLemonlime19 Wow man thats too much money for a snorkel.

[TheLemonlime19]

heyyyy wat up can u put a hitch on it

[Rags163]

@TheLemonlime19 i don't understand what u mean by a hitch?

[crazymonkey532442]

i put one on my dirt bike and it worked

[pattylax32]

Can't you just extend the original air intake hose to the top of the atv

[TheLemonlime19]

how much did it cost cause im going to do the same thing with my baja 250cc

[sfloridamudbogger]

@TheLemonlime19 Mine cost less than $25.00. I used 1.5 inch PVC and a few elbows and a prefilter. You have to rejet the carb for more fuel flow because the 1.5 inch is too much air getting sucked in. I have a suzuki and you cant adjust the carb needle like on a yamaha and I wasnt gunna pay $50.00 for a rejet kit so I got a prefilter on the tip of the snorkel to restrict the air flow. You could just put a PVC cap on it and drill a 1/2 inch hole in the cap. My buddy did that and it works fine.

[sgttroyer]

ok i got a question if i have a snorkel on my atv and im in fender deep water and i let off on the gas will it swallow a ton of water and cause my quad to stall please respond

[sfloridamudbogger]

@sgttroyer Guess you wanted a quick reply. I snorkeld my bike cause of the same problem. When you let off, no the water wont get sucked in as much. When you hit the throttle though it sucks in air, that is where you get the air to the carb for the right air to fuel mixture (A/F Ratio). Regardless it is bad to go completely under water with a stock or aftermarket snorkel. It has to breathe fresh air. I built mine myself too.

[sgttroyer]

@sfloridamudbogger ok thanks i think i might go order one on the tuff atv website

[sfloridamudbogger]

@sgttroyer Personally I like building my own stuff, but if you need a good snorkel kit get a Bayou Snorkel Kit. They make awesome kits, very high quality and also look cool.

[sgttroyer]

@sfloridamudbogger your going to laugh at me for this but i need one for my 04 honda recon lol and the only one i have found was a tuff atv snorkel so if u can let me know if you find any snorkels for a recon

[sfloridamudbogger]

@sgttroyer Are you kiddin, I ouldnt laugh at you for that, Honda is awesome. But yea, I dont know if bayou makes one for that, did ya look on their website, bayousnorkels . com? They should have listed all the ones they make, if not Tuff ATV has good products too. Good luck man.

[sgttroyer]

@sfloridamudbogger thanks ill look now cause i dont think the site i was on was actually the bayousnorkels website so ill check

[1plone]

what did u do for the original intake on the top of the air box

[Rags163]

@98zjjeep Yeh i had to rejet the carb, can't remember what size jet I brought though.

[hmshottytoddy22]

hey, did this rob any horsepower???

[Rags163]

@hmshottytoddy22 yeh it did take a bit of top end speed.

[mrviz60]

how do you keep from getting water in the air box

[KICKERMAN124]

@mrviz60 thats wht the snorkel does

[1plone]

@KICKERMAN124 he ment cuz theres guna be a hole in the lid for the air box from the original intake

[KICKERMAN124]

@1plone o gotcha ya

[cdog986]

can u make the snorkel going of the back instead of in the front by the handle bars?

[Rags163]

@cdog986 yeh u can, but whenever my quad goes in water the bottom sinks further than the front.

[1plone]

@cdog986 your stupid

[MudInMyBlood]

@cdog986 I would NEVER run one out the back.. it will eventually get dunked, or broke off.

[calvinpiels]

awesome video and thanks for posting! helped me alot i never even thought of the dialectric grease. gonna watch it a few more times to make sure i gots everything but i was gonna send my bike in to have a snorkel put on but i would much rather do one myself now that i have watched this. so in review, i have a 92 yamaha big bear 350 4x4 anything i should know about venting? ie, transmission, i know carb has to be done, what about the top end there is that an intake aswell and needs to be ran up?

[Rags163]

@calvinpiels  sorry for the late reply. Yeh i vented anything that needed air.

[PittSteelers1345]

Can you just take the stock intake and run an extension off of it for the snokel?

[imgonaburnyourhouse]

@PittSteelers1345 ya thats what i did

[bob97308]

Can u make the snorkel right off of the carb

[Rags163]

@bob97308

You can but you have to run a separate air filter and you need to tune your carb. Also you run the risk of getting watter straight into your carb rather than into your airbox. I advise not to do this unless, you plan on racing.

[highwaystar148]

since mine honda is pretty mch an idc what i do to it i pluged the vent lines and etc

[tyler1234040]

does this affect your throttle

[xmaster2012]

actually you want the inlet vent a lil bigger to compensate for the added restriction. besides just bring the snorkle up another 6in then add the 90degree

[BLINDxHA]

Very gay shit haaaaaaa

[redneck8784]

cool shit going on my yamaha and never coming off

[RidERGuYsAlWayS]

Yeahhh your snorkel is facing the wrong way smart stuff

[bricefoushee]

I am snorkeling a big bear 400 right now. Two line run off the carb, one off the top and one off the bottom. do they both need to go up?

[William206rocks]

@bricefoushee Yes. In some cases, there may also be three lines.

[rumerboyz]

Nice!!

[blaszilla]

Less music, better photos, a parts list, and a clear instructions. Run a grammar and spell checker too. ... There, commented.

[carter1713]

what could you do in the winter because i dont want to get snow in my airbox

[bryan486486]

@carter1713 you could buy like another 90 degree angle piece and face it down

[Jacksonguitarlord]

would u want the snorkul to face the other way cause as soon as you hit the water in would go in

but thanks for the vid il try that

[Rags163]

Yeh. I couldn't turn because the handle bar hit the snorkel. But I just put another 90 degree bend to face down. I just take it off when I go full throttle, better air flow.

[jdshaq]

hey man also where did you get the breather filter for your vent line. dude plz reply

[Rags163]

I got my Breather at a motorbike shop on cost be $6.50 Australian dollars. Just ask for a Vent line breather.

[jdshaq]

My atv looks just like that. Couldyou please tell me what you did and what parts you used. Plz. Check out my videos. mine is a baja wilderness 250. Mine is just the same just different company

[gguoik]

thank man i will try it
