Air shot does that make sense by the way I replaced the plug while it was warm still had the same problem but it did start up on wide open throttle a little quicker
Did you try a brand new plug?  Wide open throttle to start sounds like it is rich...spark plug wet when it doesnt start??

You will need to do some testing so we have some direction.  When it doesnt start....how is the spark ??  Spark plug wet with fuel?? Can you hear the fuel pump run ??  I fuel flow restricted ??  Air filter clean??

on the plus side, it's easier to sweep snow off the roof, than it is shoveling the cabin
I fixed that issue as well, I built a pole barn !!!  Nothing better than climbing into a nice clean machine to go out and plow snow !!!  Now if I can just figure out a remote starter like my Jeep has !!

For summer riding ya gotta have that windshield open!! If your out moving right along its not bad, but puttin around the farm it can get hot. Double check your cooling system to be sure the engine is cooling properly, mud/ dirt getting packed into the radiator can make things get really hot quick.  I also used some goop and gorilla tape to block off many of the open spots where heat can freely come thru the fire wall. That also makes it hold heat in the winter cold. I have a full enclosure that I put on for winter to make plowing comfortable, however it all comes off except the fold down windshield when April comes around.

General Discussion / Re: Locked Key In Trunk and succesfully retrieved but now I need a spare

Even if you get a key blank off fleabay or elsewhere, yiu will still need a locksmith to grind the key blank.  Look around, in my area all the stores have a key machine now that is a computor driven thing that cant make squat...last time I tried to get a simple key made, the computor doesnt recognize that key is all I get told. Then the clerk oroceeds to tell me they can make over a hundred different types of keys..my locksmith carries 1100 different keys and that is only a dent in the number if different keys.  All the stores  seem to be going to these do nothing key machines, so beware, just having the key blank wont help unless you have a source to actually grind you a key....unfortunately these are becomming very scarce !!!!!!

Find a good locksmith, the big box stores cant make anything but a simple house key anymore.  I have made spare keys for my boat, enclosed trailer, SxS and numerous other toys and the big box/ local hdwe store could not make any of them !!  I have a good commercial locksmith not to far and he was able to make all ofvthe keys I needed.  Keys are not cheap anymore, most are 10 bucks each in my area....a spare key ( fob type) for my Jeep was 140 bucks...ouch !!

As I see it, this new electric wave is opening the door for the electric companies to control the energy output like the oil companies have been doing for years.  We cant produce enough electricity as it is, so with the addition of electric vehicles, will these power companies try to rape the public by raising prices due to shortages in electric power ?? Are we moving toward total electric power faster than we can produce electric power??  Many are thinking we are moving way to fast...

I was back in the my home city...passing the ball fields when I had to come to a complete stop to let these 4 deer clear the street in front of me. One wouldn't cross - until I gave it a little beep. They came out of the woods to my left....a thickly housed area! Broad daylight - 8:30 in the morning!


Note the policeman in his white squad car watching us.

50 yrds further I had to stop for 4 more crossing OUT of the ball fields and into the woods!!

I use this road for my coffee rides. It has few street lights and is pretty dark. I always think there might be deer here...from those woods. But until today I've never seen any!
I will go much slower from here on!

Goes into my mental log for deer sightings.

It appears they were getting in their ball game before the fields get busy !!!!  I wonder if the cop knows the score??

Check your battery, these electrical systems require a full battery charge to operate.  Battery should read 12.6 volts or higher with volt meter.  12.3 volts means battery is half charge and below 12 volts (11.9v) battery is considered dead!  If battery checks goodvwith volt meter, have it load tested at local auto parts store. If your battery is original...time to replace it !!   If you still have issues after your 100% sure that battery is good then look elsewhere.

I agree with Crossbolt....That can happen when shift linkage gets out of adjustment.

Just curious here, why didnt you jump the dead battery to get things working??  I try to replace my batteries before they go dead, then I hand on to one that will hold a charge even though mabey not a full charge.  This is my go to battery for jumping other vehicles.  I keep this old battery on a battery " maintainer/ charger" which I have found to actually give some extra life to old batteries. Rather use another battery to jump, than take a chance of screwing up the electronics on todays newer vehicles.  Just curious why you didnt jump it ??

local skinny-dippin hole is in the river right behind my house, short 200 yard walk. It is a small 250 year old granite quarry in the river bed, about 10 feet deep and size of a small swimming pool, even in August when the river is just trickling, this hole has plenty of water



So ...are you telling us that you fish there often ??
