how did you snorkle your cvt?

Posts: 411

Anyone have pictures? I'm going to snorkle mine because last video I was making when I tried to fiord a river in the making of the video the cvt got swamped and belt started slipping so bad forward motion was gone. I can create my own design just wondering if anyone found something that really works and doesn't look like junkyard wars.

I have seen some that used the snorkel from the air box off a Blade 150. they turned the air inlet on the cvt upwards and clamped the snorkel on to it. I think I have a couple of those laying around if you want one

Mine has a oval shaped opening. So I don't think I can rotate it but will take a look. I think I may yet something like a vacuume hose and hope the oval clamp pulls it tight enough to seal. Will put some silicone on it for good measure.

Heres what i have and it looks like it will work havnt put it on yet but really easy to do. Appears it wont be a problem.
OK
This is for a hammerhead 250ss

2 rubber fittings for the cvt from a 150 HH
2 of the vacuum tipe hose for the air box on a 150HH

The cvt fittings on the 150 are 180 degree circle. with the opening a oval on 1 side and circle on other.

So i think if you cut the 180 in half and use the oval side of the pipe to mount to the cvt and other side you put the factory cvt filter/plug in it it will make it hard enough to mount the vacuum pipe hose to it with the clamp it comes with maybe silicone it for good measure as well.. and the opening will face up just simply extend that up towards the rack and mount it with enough flexability for motion of the shocks. For the front do it like that for the back you repeat only differance is i would take the foam filter out of the plug but still use the hard housing it rides in the same after all its just to expel air not to filter the dirt from our atmosphere and keep the dirt inside the cvt. I will have pictures this week in case i didnt explain it well enough. My back snorkle i will probably have the opening skyword just in theory it MAY help scavenging the heat out after all heat rises. ANd the front i will probably angle to drivers side. Some people say aim forward like "ram air" to help flow but i really dont want mud or water filling up my pipe it kinda defeats the purpose, im trying to keep water out. If water gets in it wont expel other then evaporation really. Once you snorkle it anyways.
