Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 7, 2021 I went to use the yard dog and spray Round Up , she had a dead battery and was on the Battery Tender Jr , so I put it on a charger and it started one time , ran and when I killed it and tried to restart then low voltage , it had a AutoZone battery in it , that was pretty old , so I went and got a new Duracell for it and a new Duracell battery tender , installed and sprayed 15 gallons of weed killer , did wear the face mask respiratory , washed the bike , my clothes and took a shower after ---- the sprayer works well , saved me a lot of time and back ache I need to by-pass the reverse lock out before I do it again 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted June 11, 2021 I went to use this Green 96 300 2wd yesterday , to spray roundup , it sat for at least 5 weeks , it did have non ethanal fuel and Sea Foam in the tank , didn't turn the petcock off last time , that was a mistake , it didn't want to start , when I opened the drain screw on the bottom of the carb no fuel came out , after banging on the carb bowl , fuel started coming out , so I figure the float valve was stuck shut , also the choke plunger is still stuck solid , got it running and the rear brake foot lever was sticking and the rear brakes were dragging , had to free that up and after spraying the first 15 gallons of Round Up , I let it sit for a while as I took a break to cool off and when I came back , the carb was over flowing all over the ground , added 1/2 bottle of Sea Foam started it up , ran it hard up and down the street and sprayed another 15 gallons of RoundUp , this time I watched it after turning it off and the carb didn't over flow , turned the petcock off and ran it out of fuel when I parked it ---- moral is you can't let them sit with fuel in the carb , especially when the temps are in the 90s 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn't ride it much, so last time I took it out, had trouble starting it, and once it was going it peed gas all over the place...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 17, 2021 Yard Dog Had a nice front bumper laying around for a while now , got tired of tripping over it , so yesterday evening started changing it , the front rack was pushed back so straightened it out and started sanding it for some paint , then the lights were in bad shape , looked around and found 2 pods that are brand new and need a home , not the best fit , but for a free quickie it will work , the original lights were toast , had to drill out the screws --- going to dig up some acorn nuts where the studs of the lights go thru the ender and with the rack you'll never see them Another thing I have to fix during this pit stop is , the master cylinder plunger got stuck in over the weekend , this 2wd has disc conversion in it , I dug up a 250 Fourtrax master cylinder yesterday for it , the 250 has a bigger reservoir , it has a stripped bolt in the cover , think I can fix that 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 17, 2021 It looks a lot better now , new front bumper , straightened and paint front rack , 2 LED pods in place of the stock lights Didn't deal with the brake master cylinder sticking plunger yet and a hand shifter is on the list of things to do 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
