thanks for the update. feels like a whole other machine now ? the display blinking of and on, hm... sounds like a connection issue in the wire harness, try this , turn the bars while trying to start it, see what happens then. just a thought .. most likely that will not make a change. also any issue with the lights, if you had said the screen blanks out and she stops turning over my thought would be a battery connection.

sounds like your getting close to straightening her out, thanks for the update, after to get the governer and linkage straightened out, you might not even have to mess with the timing.

i favor the mudlite at never had an issue hauling wood and they handle the mud / i see here pic (. right you are slow, theres a wealth of knowledge ... and many defrent opinion's , just depends on what terrain you'll be riding on.

that's a slick old classic dodge.

you, and me both... lol. 55 mph going down culleoka hill on a regular bicycle was fast enough for me.... i must have about 13 i reckon.

that's off the hook! wander what the top speed is...

i just hope he's okay from last nights... painting mishap.

yep, fish, had to think for a few, then just went and looked, if you didnt get any on the inside ? i wouldn't think it would be an issue, but like you say who knows. did you twist the bars to see if the cable might be binding up ? fish makes some really great points especially what did the PO do.

i think this one had a cracked backing plate, and the cam on the brake looked rough also. I don't if he ever replaced ether of those, i think the pics are on the 1st page ?

how much free play on the rear adjusting nuts ? yeah it that should do it i keep mine tight enough that there's just a tad bit of tension on the brake arm. when you apply the hand brake, then let off, and turn the bars does the lever go all the way forward ? and is the new cable routed the same as the old one ?

rear bakes might need to be adjusted up, or it could be the cable trying to drag / lock up, when you apply the rear brake from the hand brake lever, do the rear brakes stick ?

simple fix ... take the long bolt with all the added eyes connections etc stick it in terminal mark the thread take the bolt out screw the nut on the bolt till the mark shows on the bottom side cut the end of the existing threads off with with drimmel cut off wheel etc that's how i do mine.

yeah, that's another reason i never got into spray guns ... pop spent more time cleaning the gun, then painting, if memory severs me right he would fill the cup with thinner (pure thinner) shake the gun around to mix it then spray it into a clean metal can, i couldn't say how good it worked, but he used the same gun for years.

i don't if this will help, or not, but when i apply rattle can paint the thinner coat the better while the previous layer is still somewhat soft. probably my ipad acting up, just that one pic fish, no big deal.

i don't have much experience using a spray gun, I'm just a rattle can man, or brush like fish does, my dad was a wiz at spraying with a gun when he painted some of his classic cars, and tractors, i just did the wrenching. lol, that was more to more my liking. lol, it was kind of a reverse to hold that flash light, but more like pop hand me that wrench, plz sir. lol.

looks good from what i see, think you have this whooped!!

should be marked implement, farm, or industral paint, i can't see the pic fish posted.

oh boy new tires ? what did you have in mind ? check this thread out. good information here, just don't go with china tires.. lol! https://atvhonda.com/topic/75-favorite-tires/

covid shot after effects ??

with those aluminum plates, that's almost impossible to keep them from getting bashed up. i knew it was a mistake when they came out with those. a half inch steal plate would sure hold up, freebo, lol! if you looking for a perm deal, the yep a 1/8 inch steal plate bolted on, you could even dress up with stainless steal, aluminum checker plate. kind of like fish did here, credit for the pic goes to @Fishfiles

i like the way you do your threads details details, and pics, you killed it on the es shifting thread.
