ACES

Thanks for the feedback guys! I might wait on those until after I get it running/cooling right.

I've checked the fuses, and they all look fine. I'm wondering if the Rubicon fan needs more power than what the Rancher fan does. The wires do look slightly thicker on the fan, than my wiring harness. I went ahead and ordered the ebay parts. Trying to think if there are any other odds and ends that I need. I don't have any rubber radiator mounts, so I'm going to get 2 of those (part #10). I also am missing parts number 7 and 6, but as far as I can tell, they don't seem necessary. Would you guys get them?

Done! Thanks for having me!

Hello all! I am from Lee’s Summit MO riding a 2008 Honda Rancher 420 that I’m pretty sure I am slowly rebuilding one part at a time. This is my first ATV and I definitely got taken for a ride on my purchase. At least I have an idea of what to look for on my next buy. But working on it has been fun, and I get to spend some time with my son when doing it. And he’s learning that his Dad has no idea what he’s doing! I have a few acres in Hale MO that it gets ridden on (when it’s working). Anyone here from MO? Happy Trails!!

Last year, I had several overheating issues, even after replacing several parts, but winter came, and I really only used it on short rides in the snow, and I never had any issues. Well a couple of weeks ago, a hose to the radiator sprung a leak, so I ordered a new hose. When I went to replace it today, I found that the hose was shorter than what was on the ATV. So I looked up a picture of a stock radiator, and found that the connection on the stock is in a different place than what I have. I suspect that mine was wrecked at some point in its life and replaced with something else. Also the fan looks different than what I see in the manual. I've never heard the fan come on by itself, but when I run wires directly from the battery to it, it turns on. Thinking about getting a stock radiator and fan off ebay and seeing if that solves the issues. The pic with the fan attached is my current setup that I think is wrong. The other 2 are what I am thinking of picking up off ebay. Big Thanks to Shadetree for sending me over here!!
