Sand Spider shock project

[huunz]

I've been slowly working on my 650 Sand Spider, got the rear Fox AirShox in, the Weber carb, and now have started on the front Fox AirShox. The pictures are up with captions in my gallery section.

Some minor problems - the oil filter setup allows the oil to drain back to the motor when it sits for a while. This means I have low oil pressure and an oil light at startup, so I have to wait for the oil to come up before I can take off. I don't know what the long term affect will be on the engine.

oil filters are supposed to anti drain back , maybe your next filter won't do that, or maybe you should try a different brand.

I used Fram PH 8A filters. They have been the defacto standard for the large dual filter setups, but this is the first time I've mounted the filters higher than the crankcase. I may have to do some research into anti-drainback type filters that cross over. They did add one whole quart of capacity to the system, and i didn't have to buy a single part, it was all on the shelf.

I found an anti-drainback check valve in the Jeg's catalog, but it was fifty bucks, so I passed.

The Weber is working awesome. Starts right up, lots of power, at least relative to what it used to have, and easy to drive.

What will the cam do Silverbullet? And is it for the two cylinder 650, or the three cylinder?

The Wix filter might fit the stock joyner, but won't replace the Fram PH8As that are now in place. The Frams, by the way, are "anti-drainback".
