Great videos. That oil pump has an oil line going to a bearing. I would put the oil tank back in and hook the oil pump back up. If there is an oil line going to a bearing, the engineers did it for a reason. Adding some oil to the line now and then probably won't help much. That fuel jug, unless fuel reacts with the plastic and melts it. It is labeled that way for liability issues. Does not have EPA's maximum spill system 😂.

You NEED the oil pump on that engine!! Splash lube from the premix will not reach the outer pto bearing. Polaris tried that already and then added the 4th oil line direct to the pto bearing. Oil pumps are very reliable, millions of engines run with them working for many miles. I have been working on sleds since the 70s and have yet to see a pump fail but if it were to fail they are designed to fail wide open. Water and debris in the oil tank and system will cause oil starvation but if kept clean you will not have a injection pump problem. I suspect you did not bleed the pump properly or at all which will cause an air lock and not alloe the pump to function just like any other pump of any kind. Again Polaris added the forth line to the pto bearing for a reason.

Hey Chris,, The water pump was definitely an issue with cooling!!! Sucking air past that seal and creating cavitation in the pump!! Definitely won't circulate! The oil injection? I think it would be best to make sure that those bearings are continuously getting oil!! Awesome job man!!!

I have all the charging information you will need, you just have to find what apply s to your system. First the easy stuff. Motor off battery voltage should be about 12.5 to 13 volts Running voltage should be between 13.8 to 14.8 volts. NOW you need to find if your stater voltage is using chassis ground or is isolated. and if the rectifier/regulator is isolated or using chassis ground. If they are both using chassis ground you are shorting out half the system causing the high amp draw and will end up burning everything up by shorting the AC and DC together creating half wave DC not full wave. half wave is not good for electronics like LED lights. To solve this you must find a way to isolate both the AC and DC power, this may require to use a different rectifier/ regulator or mounting it on a chunk of rubber and run both plus and minus wires for the DC power without using chassis ground. I hope this will help and GOOD LUCK!

"better steering then the grave ninja" thats why you need the brakes lol. love the project, just like everything on this channel

Don't throw away that gas can! Because of the delivery mechanism or lack thereof, they have to save it as a disclaimer. At any rate, this build is my favorite! You kept the look of the beetle so well. Funnily enough I usually do not like Volkswagen beetles. But when they are made into Baja vehicles I do lol. And you have made such a glorious machine

You are thinking about the amperage wrong. The stator/magneto is the generator, capable of supplying sufficient power for it's purpose. The rectifier/regulator simply converts the A/C voltage to DC and limits the max current to it's rated limit. The "LOAD" is what "pulls" the current from the regulator and stator. In this case the battery wasn't fully charged and was simply charging. Once it is fully charged it won't pull hardly any current (just running the coils or cdi) until you put another load on it, like lights or radiator fan. The bigger the load, the hotter the regulator will get as it's working closer to it's rated limit to keep the battery charged.

Same. I’ll go a bit further and add that you did the best thing possible for the regulator. As was mentioned above the regulator is a way of converting one thing to another. That conversion creates heat and the more it converts the hotter it gets. Air flow isn’t super critical but heat dissipation is. Mounting it against the aluminum floor pan gives it ample amount of surface area to dissipate heat. The other regulators you were testing were mounted so they were doing what they were supposed to do. Just be sure to not use washers, spacers or insulation between the regulator and aluminum floor. You want it as flush and smooth fitting as possible.

It's genuinely funny to me, as an European, that most NA people have no clue why these gas cans stared being used at large. Oh and i know because your idiotic "you get sued, you get sued, and you get sued, everyone's getting sued" society, killed off one of the oldest gas can manufacturers in the United States (if not the oldest), which also supplied NATO, and thus by trickle, us here in Europe.

Very brave deleting the oil pump... I would have thought it supplied the main end bearings ..

You have aluminum oxide forming in the cover. The bar by the starter/pump cover needs to be removable for service. The pump was fried before you barbequed the bug. Excellent project involving an amazing level of imagination! Way to go, Mr. By the way, use a lil dielectric grease on the O ring, you will be glad you did. Position the fuel line clamps so they don't rub through the coolant 'ose. Check the gas can for damage from fuel. It may be perfectly fine! It is similar to a VP Racing fuel jug, after all!! Mount the regulator to a large metal location so it can dissipate heat into that and not likely overheat.

Wow those tires are ballooning like crazy love the build though been watching for a long while

The rectifiers between this unit and your CBR1000 unit are different. I don't know the exact specifics of this unit, but it looks like it is a single phase stator (2 wires feeding the rectifier from the stator) and the CBR1000 is a 3 phase system (3 wires from stator to rectifier). The single phase system will pull much more current (per wire) than the 3 phase unit. Also I believe this rectifier is a shunt style and the CBR1000 rectifier is a MOSFET style. The shunt style rectifiers get way hotter than the MOSFET style. The fuel jug is labeled "Not For Gasoline" due to EPA regulations without the stupid anti-spill spout. Awesome project! I love watching your builds!

Great work as usual thanks for sharing. .

Stiffer rear springs or shocks, you definitely need that. Definitely do that before you hit windrock. It sags soooo hard in the back.

Those white spots look like oxidized aluminum from hot water spray. Maybe somewhere in the past, someone only used water instead of adding coolant. Coolant is made of ethylene glycol which adds the properties of anti-oxidant, lubrication, and changing the freezing and boiling temperature of water. If you rub coolant alone in your hands, you will not it is slippery. Both the coolant lubrication properties and anti-oxidant for the inside of the water pump. It will not take long for pure water to tear up water pump. For the bearing wear/play, make sure the belt tension is correct, but that red gunk is oxidized iron from beangs.

That pump was probably a big part of the overheating, it was roached. The white ice stuff is aluminum corrosion from whatever nasty was in the coolant that leaked out of the broken water pump. Salts and impurities in water/coolant do that to aluminum.

Those lights look so much cooler!

It stoped smoking because it burned out all the oil that got built up in the cylinders and exhaust from trying to get it running in the beginning, just because it isn’t throwing out a smoke cloud dosnt always mean it’s not getting properly oiled

Snowmobiles Leans into fast turns so the floats don't close off like the buggy being flat and the fuel shoved to 1 side of the bowl.You increasing the flow will help.Keep the 2' oil line for the bearing and use a pinhole cap to let it vent but not drain.If you use gearoil it'll flow slower,but the thickness will help the bearing.It'll be easy to see what's used. Hope you're having Fun now as it's the 2nd. Happy Forth Everyone !

The mould looking stuff on the inner part of the cover is corrosion of magnesium in aluminium-magnesium alloy cast metal. that alloy doesn't really like water, specially sitting water, a coat of paint could help it for a while, if you are expecting water around that area.

That water pump and blocking the radiator was the cause of overheating. The heat then made the vapour lock worse since the fuel pump was bad in the first place. I have a Volvo V40 of first gen that has the 1.6 petrol engine which is said to have everlasting waterpump due the metal impreller and good design. So when my engine started to overheat after 2 miles each time I drove, no one belived me when I said the water pump is bad. Most was thinking it was the headgasket. But when headgaskets go, they give random results when the overheating starts. So when I pulled off the water pump there was plastic impreller bits everywhere and there was not a single blade left on the pump. Someone in the past had fitted a crap aftermarket one. Now 4 years later my car goes still strong with the new pump 🙂

Thank you, a great synopsis as alway.

Another thing I just remembered about the overheating thing. Something you might check is the condition of the cylinder walls. If you have a bore scope and pull out a spark plug to check the cylinders. If heat was an issue, that's one of the first places to check. Check for vertical cylinder scoring. That would show that the pistons overheated. But if it's all good it's all good

This lights look WAAAY Better man this thing is a beast so keen to see it ripping more 👌🏻 Definitely make that oil tank another fuel reservoir..

I would reconsider the oil pump to feed your crank bearings - those XLT motors were notorious for throwing cranks due to casting flaws in the case and need consistent oiling especially at high speeds. If the motor is a 1996+ it has better casting for the crank than the earlier models pre 1996. Oil that thing! 😂

I like the switch to round headlights.

baja bugs sometimes have ducts in place of the rear side windows so i shouldn't be out of place if you made some of those. probably good for your comfort too

Hey Chris I think you should put some spacers under the voltage reg so it doesn't build up heat being bolted flat to the aluminium plate less chance for it to overheating

I keep meaning to comment- try a random orbit sander with what ever grit you fancy for going over the surface of panels- it leaves a nice frosted patena

You mounted your regulator on a big aluminum plate which is a giant heat sink thus keeping it from getting as hot as it was when it wasn’t mounted. Should be fine. Get some of that heat sink goop and it will run even cooler

A water cooled Baja Bug sounds like an oxymoron

Add some one way flaps on the closed side of radiator fan so when driving air can flow thru without restriction very easy to make with the piece you cut out just have to make a hinge for each

Lights look great!

A fully charged 12 volt lead/acid battery is 12.6 volts. A 12v battery fresh off the charger will read 13.2 to 13.6 volts generally. An alternator produces a bit more voltage that the battery to push in the charge. Commonly 14.2 to 14.7 volts. Hook up the oil tank/pump to the pto bearing. Whatever it pumps in in addition to the oil in the fuel will be a welcome addition.

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

The round lights lokks way better on it. Nice work with the eletrics

This is a little bit late for this build, but... You don't need to have an air cooled radiator to cool the engine. The old style "Belly Tank Lake Racers" used a simple tank (no flues) to cool the radiator fluid before being pumped back into the motor. In that manner, it didn't need air flow to cool the radiator fluid, there was simply a large enough volume of water that the heat dissipated before being recycled back into the engine. The downside of this system was the size of the tank needed to be large enough to allow the fluid to cool before being recycled.

For the gas can, it could be 3 things: 1. The plastic of the take can be melted by petroleum products if the plastic is not the right type. You can get this information from the number that is in the center of the 3 arrows stamped on the plastic. All plastics have a recycle number. Just look at your red gas can and compare the 2 numbers. They only go from 1 to something like 7 for now. 2. The back plastic lid might have the same issue, so check that. 3. I think by govt. standards to transport fuel, every part of the tank needs to be sealable so it won't leak if it turns on its side. I am not sure if a simple stopper at the end was submitted for certification to the govt. That costs money.

With the huge air filter pods the engine will run lean. This will cause the engine to bog down when opening the throttle and aid in making the engine run hotter.

Round headlights was really the cherry on top 👌🏼

That radiator right behind your seat with no protection from it, in the event of a leak / hose bursting is just asking for trouble. The burns from the hot water would be a life changer.

I've heard that if you go from oil injection to pre-mix, it may affect carb jetting. The carbs have not been calibrated for straight gas. Might not be a problem tho... Thanks for the videos! 👍👍

Chris you can still use the big can for gas most racers use the same big white gas cans

Hey on the bearing that was oiled by the oil injection pump. You can get and old school drip oiler and turn it on while your ridding. Amazon has them for 20.00 dollar. They are used on vintage machines and steam engines

dont forget to premix the stuff in the auxiliary tanks too cause that's the kind of thing that'd drive you nuts if you forgot. :P

We used to run Amsoil mixed gas in our Banshees at 100:1 with zero issues in Oregon dunes. Had 6 Banshees ran that way for 10 years never an engine problem. Hardly a puff of smoke. You dont have to see smoke in a 2 stroke.

@Rather B Welding you need a baffling inside the fuel tank. When you corner the fuel slashes and pump can’t pull. The baffle stops splashing inside the tank

Love the new headlights

Something you could try is to add a 50ohm 15 watt resistor between the DC out and a computer fan. You could use the computer fan to cool the regulator. An 80mm fan should be plenty. You could even harvest one out of an old computer power supply.

it's nice that you listen about the headlights

Dont worry about the jug not being for fuel. The manufacturer has to comply with the government by telling the consumer that it's not a "government approved fuel container". It'll be fine for a fuel jug.

You normally only just have to replace the impeller and.seals on a water pump. We keep spares in the tool box. Same for my boat. I think all my water replacement impellers are plastic and go out. That is a big water pump. Water pumps are owned by the coolant company. ;)

I've drilled lube holes for the main bearings when deleting oil pumps. You may want to check if your engine will have any problems switching to premix.

The tank is just a color code thing. Red for gas, yellow for diesel, white for water/coolant..... Mark it "Mixed Gas" & all is good.

Possible tunng issues.....air filter pods, premixing, exhaust stinger width & length. Cool build 👍

Could use an air box like the one on the trophy kart to avoid excessive dirt build up on the filters.

When you put the new round lights on my first thought was calling it Herby JR

Use a shop vac to drain coolant. Take off a hose connection high up in the system and put the shop vac hose to it.

That jug is fine for gas. That’s an EPA thing. Throw that tag in the trash.

Conspiracy theory alert on the gas container you bought. They make these types of products because of you assuming the way it is made that it is a gas container only. Once you put the fuel in there you cannot ever put water or any sort of potable source in there again. So now you have to go buy another one if you're going to use it for water. You have to really watch out what you're buying nowadays. They get you coming and going and spending a shitload of your hard-earned money. Anyways all in all what an excellent build once again.!

Did you know that if you put tinfoil on your head, you're not actually warding any energies, you're actually focusing them, because antenna. That's how radio antennas work. But moving on, the reason these types of color coded and valved gas cans exist is because in the early 2000's dumbasses started using the lawsuit loop to make money from companies that made the old style gas cans. They'd throw fuel on fire, get caught on fire and then lawsuit. Well, that's when player number 3 came into play. Insurance companies. Now, insurance companies will do anything including a BJ on a leper to get away from paying, so what did they do? They lobbied for gas cans to be coded, have a two hand operated system AND have a trickle instead of a pour. You know, all means to make it difficult for people who need assistance in the rain so they don't drown, to throw fuel on fire, drink from gas cans that were unmarked (well, partly, there was a slew of lawsuits against gas can manufacturers because there were no clear markings and kids wound up drinking from them) etc. TLDR: soup letter agencies have nothing to do with this, this is squarely between brain dead people, judges and insurance companies.

HI Chris, Essentially the regulator is regulating voltage not amps... so if there is little or no load on it then the supply voltage from the stator will be higher (due to internal resistance) and the Regulator has more volts to loose as heat. But once there is a load, lights, fan, battery etc, the amount of volts it has to dissipate as heat will reduce.

yoy cant just convert to premix on all 2 strokes, some bearings might not get oil at all like that, just fix the damn pump

Since you're running premix gas, you're going to have to adjust the carburetors to run on premix gas. Since they are designed just to run on pure gas. Yes, it will run, but it will run lean.

Run a small reservoir for the pto bearing and plug the carbs off right.
