shocks are in BAD shape so all 4 are being replaced handlebars on and almost ready. Really hoping it will be done before a big snowfall. If it aint I got the trusty phazer to back me up. Shed has no lighting yet so pics are dark sorry. What are you guys working on before the winter season?

I am going to make a few pass's around my yard soon.Have just enough to cover the grass..supposed to warm up again.Got to run the SRX at least for 1 km........... :o|
 
Cleaned carbs and actually found some bees in them (wtf) got the oil cable perfect (was a BI***!) hand warmers and other wiring soldered (many burns) bearings greased and new bushings all round, bolted on rear trailing arm mount, grinded down steel bar ends to fit backcountry bars ( thanks rsi!), changed all fuel lines. Put xtc shocks in skid, Putting skid in tomorrow and gona go for a ride ( a ride on dirt and rocks with my new carbids ) Bummed whole saw off pop to do can mod ( sorry cole ) Il get pics tomorrow! ( I hope...)
 
Sounds like quite a bit of progress! ;)!

I've heard of others having problems with bees in their fuel system, one was in the tank and the dead body would sink to the bottom of the tank and block the in-tank filter. Apparently they're attracted to the Ethanol in the fuel.
 
I would suggest you '97 guys check your recoil cup bolted to the flywheel. I found mine had 2 big cracks in it. Do a search for my recent thread about it. easy fix, major damage if it breaks tho.
 
hello sexy!

sorry if it comes out sideways... on my phone at the moment

really..I thought Doo straightened out their mess already..pretty bad..I would be upset with DOO and ask for my $$$ back for that piece of junk
 
there was an old cat on the pond 2 days ago that people roosted snow up on it and completely buried it, It was an older sled though.
 
great day out sledding. the xtc shocks are much better. you have snow yet blue?

Down in south eastern wisconsin we got a 3 to 5 inch snowfall coming thursday, and JohnDee.com says there is a potntial for a bigger storm to come but its too far out to tell right now. But atleast after thursday we are going too stay below freezing for a while wich will be a pleasant suprise.
