AHHH the best part is that he is still able to post in this forum.

That just goes to show that I can be gullible, not often mind you, but there are weak spots. Hope your back heals good and well and the pain doesn't drop to lower levels.

You almost had me thinking this was true story,,, until,,, the 10mm socket evidence, then the whole story fell apart,,,, they never, ever, never get found!!

Not a slide hammer, sledge hammer! And yes, you may.

Now if I were the one to get this lightbar I would be tempted to go out and purchase a scooter to put it on. Or maybe modify the Spyder or the 86 I have presently in stock. My wife says,, NO!!!

It looks a beauty. Mooi hore!

So your specific question is on the relays right now?

I have a special tool to do wheel bearing hubs. 2 wack and they're off.

If you have a bad headgasket take the rad cap off and see if the coolant bubbles at all. If it does, it's a head gasket. Another thought: when seating the carbs in their boots often times one will jump back out when seating another. Check and re-check to see that they are all seated firmly and properly.

You'll need to remove the fuel tank I think, the loosen the clamps holding the carbs to the boots, then it takes a bit of pressure to pop them out of the boots one at a time. A curved pry bar would be helpful in this case. Do not loosen the boots from the intakes, they should stay put so that the carbs can be pried off. Make sure all the fuel lines and cables are off. All 4 carbs come off as one unit. I think that might be right.

You should probably post this in the Watering hole. Not too many will see it in this forum. And welcome, I'm sure there will be lots of help available and there are lots of articles to glean from.

First you need to do a compression check. Throttle wide open on all cylinders. You could also spray some WD40, or carb cleaner, or brake clean into the carbs to see if that changes anything. get back to us.

There are somethings that can be done to lower the seat height depending on the year, 1st gen, or 2nd gen. Sometimes the front can be lower as well as the rear, and a person could take some foam out of the seat cushion as well. I do think it would be trial and error somewhat. Hopefully someone as tall as you might have some real life ideas.

Glad you got that over with and now we pray for good healing.

That should work!

Got the same unit sitting in my sons shop, been there for about 4-5 years now. Also have a 12hp and its' still running somewhat. Used mine for about 20 years before I bought a Deere F525, and now am onto a Country Clipper, the best one yet. It's a relic alright, and a good workhorse.

There is a knuckle on that shaft on the other side of the cover bearing, so with no bearing to hold things in place the shaft will wiggle wherever it wants and seems to be broke.

Might not be a real bad idea, I mean you already have them out, so you might as well. YES!!!!

12.5 is not charging.

I hear FEMA isn't doing things so well.

Need to clean the working of the knob with some electronic cleaner I bet.

I still have my 2014 Ram 2500, thinking it will be the last truck I will ever need. I hate shopping for new vehicles. The last one I bought, a 2019 Mazda 5, I did over the phone, never even went to look at it.

If memory serves me correct there is no bleeder at the steering head on an 83, those weren't installed until 86. That doesn't mean you don't have one, but it would be aftermarket. If the proportioning valve is compromised then you'll have fun getting things to work right if at all. That needs to be fixed first.

That light indicates there is something amiss which cause can be found by checking the rest of the display. It could be low fuel, headlight burned out, over heating. It's telling you, take a look, you have a problem.
