The inevitable tough truck pee match is why I posted no brands.

Start by pulling the battery, take it home and charge it fully. Then take the battery in for load testing.

Then the powered donuts batteries went dead causing a total loss of power.......

That has a lot to do with things. I change out tires when they hit 50% of original tread depth, and I only buy real good tires. Good tires makes a big difference in both snow or mud. The emblem on the grill does make a difference in what can be driven thru. In our hunting group there is Ford Chevy and Dodge, all are ext cab, all are 4x4, all are 150 or 1500 series, all are factory stock. There is only one of them that always makes it through the mud hole on the road into our hunting area. It is not the driver, because the driver that always gets through can still not drive the other two trucks through the mud hole. Yes I have been avoiding mentioning which brand does and does not make it. Just trying to point out there is a difference.

I used both.

Sounds like fun. Brings back memories of last Easter where there was a fresh 16 inch snowfall the day we were heading up to camp to treat the lackofupnorthitis that we all developed over the winter. that 16 inches was on top of the 2 feet that was already there. I knew better than to try to get off the main road thru the 6 foot high snow berm from the plows so we dug thru that. Then drove up the 400 foot driveway dragging bottom and pushing snow the whole way, but we made it.

I'm not sure, but I may have seen the tip of A blade of grass in the back yard today. Might have been an illusion......

Nothing

Do you believe anything you see on the internet........

Yes it is at the lever. There are 4 wires going into it as there are 2 seperate switches that are clutch activated. One is for the starter circuit and the other is for the cruise control. My bike is still buried under snow so I can not get you a pic for a few weeks yet.

Go ahead, say it again.......

I just finished getting all my parts. I am building it for 6 just in case I need 6 some day.

I would start looking at the clutch switch. It is easy to clean the contacts and easier to get to. Looking at the wiring diagram, unless I missed something, the side stand switch will not disable cranking, just turns off the ignition to kill the engine.

Congrats on the journey. Even though you "cheated"....

Besides the 2nd gen guys dont know what a tach is........

Yes you want a relay to power the air horn. Your horn switch will not live long switching that much power.

So you are saying that you need more snow to bury the problem to make it go away?

I have not seen grass since October. I don't really mind, white is a nice color for a while. I really hate cutting grass. I am always the last in the area to do the first cut and the first to do the last cut. But next month I will be ready to see green again, and right after that first cutting I will be ready for more white.

Glad to hear your finger is getting better. The shed that the bike is in is still buried under snow. I am working on a plan to head up to the U.P. I will try to jam that door shut. It worked for a while when I was up there in November and slammed the door it stayed pretty nice in December.

Got pics, that may help. There is a www.koolglo.com.

Puc you seem to be warming this old frozen heart. How can I go make your favorite weather when I have a leaky eyeball and everything is all blurry......

I do miss the side bar with friends and their status, the rest I have gotten used to or found close enough work arounds.

Start by filling the tank, if it only takes about a gallon then you know it is a problem with the sender / fuel gage circuit. If it takes about 3 gallons, then the gas is actually gone and you have an issue with the fuel system.

Yup seen it. Ask him Ask him Not if I can help it....... Well OK some can melt, but winter ain't over yet....

Raising BP is easy, just follow my diet plan...:whistling: :whistling:
