I just got a 650 and it did not have much power I could not clime the hill so I test drove a 850 it had a little more power so I think I'm gona sell my 650 an get the 850 but still I want more powere what is the best thing to do ?? Jetting the carb ?? Turbo ???

Hi Harvick29,where are you from and what kind of riding do you do.Sand,trails,rocky hill climbing.Ghost

Lake Isabella ca, a lot in dove springs/jawbone aera ! Dessert , hill climb, dumont sand dunes, fast trails!!

turbo the 65o you already have !!!

not sure what 85o you were referring to ?? you mean the 8oo in the new Pythons ?

Hi Harvick 29, one of the fastest guys i have chased through Jawbone trails is Jbquadrider on a modified 650.Its not all about power.Ghost

Hi ghost, yes but should I do the trade up for the 850 I did like the 650 ride but the 850 is long travel !! What mods were done ?? And did it have turbo ?? Was that u at the jawbone store on fri ?

Hi Harvick29,no i was not there,JB has a lot of mods done to his buggy.You should test drive the new Joyner Python with the Chery DOHC 800.So far with better exhaust faster than 800 sohc turbo.Ghost

o im sure but im on a budget an can get this one for 3000.

Harv...
Im curious ...
what 850 your referring to....
??????????????????????????????

dropped a new weber carb on 1st see how that goes

drop in the turbo on top of that

good luck...maybe he is just typing incorrectly but their is no 850 based buggy that we know of.

As Ghost said it's not always about HP, I still feel putting a good pair of shocks all the way around is the first thing everybody should do, it will feel like you added 10HP & allow you 15MPH to your buggy, it allows you to keep that RPM up over rough stuff.
But you are right it's down on power adding a weber DCOE 40 will give you about 10 ponies & a turbo more than double. Putting a turbo on a weber is a little more tricky I am presently trying to set up a draw through system with mine we'll see how that goes. Also you can build the motor up porting & high compression pistons which will pump up the HP (See Ghost's post) Really the best setup would be buying that new 812cc & trans & fabing it into an SS, my 2 cents worth.

Not sure the guy says its a Joyner 850 three cil. But I think he said a different number not even 850 but close it has the long shocks in back!! We're and how much r the carbs ??

If a Joyner, must be the Sand Viper 8oo...
the newer ones have the EFI Cheri 812cc, are slightly heavier than the SS's, but I got to drive Jaxn's & when set up as well as his, they are Awesome !!!

Sweet in on just need to sell mine the 650 then put the weber on as soon as I find one !! Ant ideas

the 650 uses a side draft version (Weber 40DCOE); differant from the downdraft style used on the 8oo's (look up Studio50,s Weber conversion thread).
Both can be had thru Ebay at probably the best prices available...
