M 20 issues

[SnowBandit]

I have having a hard time getting the M20 in my sled. The rear just will not fit inside the drop downs. Very tight when I do get it in there. Anyone else have this issue when installing?


Also were did everyone put the little air compressor?

it is hard to do alone, but you have to start one side and pry the other in.
some are tighter then others it will go once you start it up in.

put the top bolt in first then tap the bracket up to the back hole make sheer it lines those aluminum bracket is soft don't stick any thing in the hole to line it up or you will pay for a new bracket they will strip easy.

Has anyone installed the compressor? Where did you mount it.

made a plate and mounted it off the bolt that holds the head light on right side between the chain case and the oil tank. using the back bolt on the head light. and mounted gauge and switch on the handle bars right in front of me works good there.

I installed my compressor in the nose front storage area and installed the guage and switch in the reverse handle area. Sorry sled is up north no pictures until next week if you would like them.

Was thinking front area but worries that it will get wet...

I was worried about that to. I ended wrapping it up in very big and heavy frezzer zip lock bag. was able to get two complete wraps on the pump. I did not seal it and put two tie wraps around the bag to keep it snug. I was worried that it would not suck any air but by leaving the bag unsealed it works just fine. Pumps right very quickly.

My pump was in the nose last year an didn't have a problem at all. moved it because i wanted the gauge an switch on the handle bars for easy adjustment an the lines where to short. an no air line in stock.
