[SYKO]

got this becouse a neighbor owed me some money and didnt have any....so you get the story. Any way it was abused by his son a bunch of parts were broken and missing but I will slowely get them all amased, it runs smokes alittle but runs decent non the less..

then threw on some rear rims off a timberwolf since the stockers were worn out... now all I need is some spacers for the rear any one know where you can get those stud spacers at any more? I dont see them on ebay no longer...

now here is my major problem, I got it running then today my daughter wanted to ride it and after fixing a few problems I went to start it and nothing nada zipp.....hmmmm kept lookinng around I didnt have any power not even a neutral light so right on the starter solonoid there are fuses and the battery side was blown... so I replaced it but it blew it right away... checked all over the machine and no frayed or torn wires any where... do these solonoids go out often? im pretty sure its just the solonoid, but if you take the big wire connection off it wont blow a fuse but as soon as you put it back on POP also I put a jumper wire in just to see if there was a connection on the quad that was bad and just the solonoid got hot so I really beleive it to be bad internaly... just wanting some feedback before I go hunting for one of these things:beer

and I got all the racks and bumpers off of it right now they are getting rhino lined in RED! (freebiieeee) sweet! this is going to be the old ladys whip when its going all the way... thinking of BIGBEER stickers for the side of it!!:beer:beer:naughty:

[SYKO]

any ideas on the solonoid? I guess im just going to replace it I dont see any frayed and grounded wires or bad connections so im sure its just the solonoid

[SYKO]

I like the red racks sure looks good. As far as the solenoid you should be able to trace out wiring and see which wire is supposed to be hot from the start switch. If that wire is hot at the solenoid then its bad.

That should be a perfect quad for female riding if they are just into cruising like my wife.

yea I figured Josh, Yea its going to be my ladies ride I plan on lifting it a bit just to fit some 27's on it for the hell of it she wont never need anything bigger plus it will look like a big quad any way. lol Im also looking for one of those rear rack plastic packs but with the seat built in so my step daughter can ride, Ive seen them before but dont remember them being so expensive? I thought there were ones around 125-150 or so?
