Yes. Another fan of VGG. I love some of his pet sayings and terms. Really enjoyed watching you work on that old Elan. Not a lot of those around anymore. Really like the trapper box idea. Great way to bring the seat back up to a good height. Nice work. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers. From Wisconsin.
Thank you! I am definitely not the first one to implement the trapper box! But it is one of the best mods to make for these elans, other than bigger motors and ski skins!
great video man, i finally got my elan up and running again and am working on getting it trail ready. the trapper box really helps on these machines for daily use i find.
You should do and as-is Test, DB Sound Test at Idle and at Max rpm. Then do a Speed Test at max rpm. Then do some High Performace mods, Cylinder Porting, Then Raise the CR to 9.0, then 10.0 then 11.0 with a Speed Test after each one. Then a Carb upgrade to 34mm and a Speed test. Then do some Exhaust mods with Speed Test. Stock is 12hp@5500rpm. Stock is 7.5cr.

You need to show a finished pic of that thing. Looked pretty nice. Where abouts is your shop? Somewhere in the far north I'm guessing?
It will be back on the channel in a few episodes!

Sled for days
I put 1996 a pulley on my 1973 elan. I got tired of changing the stripped starter cup and spending $$.
