My son and I took a 221 mile drive to pick this little guy up, then drove down to visit CAMP914 for a while and drove it home.
Never missed a beat. It now has all the break-in miles on a 2275 monster torque motor. Full of 350lbs of gear and both of us (another 300lbs) it would still pull hard in 4th from 50mph and up. Yes, those are 31 inch "mudders" on there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

The 2275 was really well done. I was nervous to say the least on the 300 mile drive home. But the thing never faulted.
Abouth the only thing negative was the oil fill boot had a pretty big tear in it so oil was getting thrown out of that onto the exhaust. Stunk a little. It now only has about 500 miles on it, so time to change the oil and add some gauges to help keep tabs on the temps and oil pressure. I will paint it, it's been color changed 3 times, so nothing original here. Thinking of that cool Audi color, solid, Battleship grey I think? Might look kinda cool? These little carbs have been re-jetted, but I think they are pretty small for a 2275. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
