Snorkel How-To

Simple TRX300 Snorkel How-To:

Material List:

• 1 1/4" ABS pipe - 6" long
• 1 1/2" ABS pipe - ~30" long plus desired riser height. I like 12"

• 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" flexible rubber coupler
• 1 1/2" to 1 1/2" flexible rubber coupler (2)
• 1 1/2" 45* Elbow (3)
• 1 1/2" 90* Elbow (2)

• 1/4" vent hose. Preferably gas approved, but not all of it has to be.
• 5/8" hose. Preferably gas resistant. Length depends on method chosen for crankcase vent see below.
• Dielectric Grease
• ABS Cement

The snorkel is pretty simple. It's easier to show the completed snorkel off the machine in a few pictures and you can copy it from that. start at the air box and work your way forward.

I use ABS pipe as it is what is readily available here in Canada. If you have access to PVC pipe feel free to substitute for that, don't forget the correct cement.

There are several vent hoses that need to be re-routed:

• Carb vent located on left side of carb
• 3 brake vents, one for each side on front and 1 rear
• front and rear diff vents
• transfer case vent
• fan vent - if equipped

I prefer to run new vents from each item all the way to the top of the snorkel. But you CAN buy connectors and just add onto the existing stock vents that exit in front of the gas tank if you wish.

Carb Drain - Install and 2nd check valve on the carb drain and leave it in stock location.

Di-electric Grease - Install on every connector, including the spark plug cap.

From Airbox:

• 1 1/4" pipe slips perfectly into factory boot on airbox.
• 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 rubber coupler (may get away with solid adapter here?)
• (2) 45's
• straight section of 1 1/2"
• 45 and a 90 1 1/2"
• straight section vertical through the fender
• 1 1/2" to 1/2" rubber coupler (this will give in a roll over)
• Vertical riser (determines snorkel height, mine is 12")
• 1 1/2" 90 at the top, opening faces the rider.
• (Optional) Small piece of 1 1/2" pipe cut at 45* stuck in the open end of the snorkel, this is for cosmetics only it serves no real function.

You may paint the pipes with any paint that bonds to plastic. Mine was done with bed liner but being ABS is already black anyway.
