my cousin has an 03 summit 700 that i have been working on for a couple of weeks. he had a problem with the recoil melting and i decided we need to do a couple things. for one, i am going to make a heat shield to deflect heat away from the recoil. the other thing i want to do is put vents in the shock towers and a couple of flowrites. this should bring more cold air in and let hot air out.

what i am wondering is if adding the flowrites in the gauge pod is going to lean the fuel mixture? if so, i don't want to mess around with it. any thoughts?

I installed 2 FlowRites in my gauge pod last year and did no jetting . Had no trouble at all infact it ran better in the deep snow ( more air when the snow built up on the hood ) great mod:beer;

did you just use a hole saw to cut the holes then? oh, and which ones did you buy. the snap in one or the other ones?

we took all the decals off the hood. when my girlfriend was taking them off, she must have gotten a little goo gone on the bombardier logo on the very front of the hood, because it came off. i looked at it, taped it, and its right about 2". good spot for another flowrite?????? i don't know how well that hood will take being cut with a coarse hole saw.

I used a hole saw and cut out the holes in the dash paneland used the snap in Flowrites. Personaly I would not put 1 in the hood don't think it will help IMO

Click to expand...

If you don't have a hole saw, you can scribe the circle with a protractor and then use a drill bit and drill a bunch of holes around the scribe...

Don't put one in the hood!!!

I put some vents in my belly pan on my 03 before I sold it it gets hot in the spring here and I hate taking my hood on and off the vents worked great.
