shrek18 8 Posted April 1 So all 6 Allen's are tight. They didn't move with my battery impact. I do not see a key anywhere tho. I see the groove for it, but it looks like it spun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted April 1 Shade I think what you’re seeing are just enlarged reflections of the top of the Allen head bolts in the shiny oil on the inside edge of the flywheel- it looks like a gouge, but it’s just a reflection -AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shrek18 8 Posted April 5 (edited) So the long awaited update is here. The Foreman is out of my shop and back on the farm. Thanks to the help of ol Mr RTV himself aka Shade tree 🤣, the machine is FIXED!!! It was a process and I had all but given up but Shade talked me off the ledge. I ended up taking that rear engine cover off and replaced the Ignition spark generator or the pick up coil inside the case. That was the part keeping us from getting spark. I did keep the CDI/ ICM I replaced on along with the new voltage regulator and coil. After some issues with the neutral switch and having to remove and install the rear cover (a total of 5 times...)🤷♂️🤦♂️ I got the unit back together today and ran it. I let it idle for 10 min which it couldn't do prior and took it for a 1 mile ride with no issues. Im happy to say its all fixed up and its back to pushing feed for dairy cows. I want to say as a newbie to the site here, it was quite refreshing to talk to people who knew their stuff and pointed me in the right direction. I definitely look forward to being a member here and I greatly appreciate the help from Shade and the others!! Thanks again Edited April 5 by shrek18 Add pic 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
