So we made our way to the u.p. this weekend. Where to start...the drive up was horrible people just don't know how to drive any more. Then we get to motel and that is where the real fun begins. The motel has a gas station at the bottom of the hill, bear den, if anyone knows where I'm talking. We buzz down there after we unload the ole srx was running real good sounded great. Well as we are leaving the pumps I got about a third of the way back to the room and BOOM that was the primary. Got lucky found a used one in the Soo, used and threw it in. Now we are getting on the trail about the hours late. So we take off riding everything was awesome, again. About two hours into the trip I start smelling gas bad. Guess what that was... yup my fuel line to the exhaust side carb. After sitting on the side of the trail, while my dad rode into town to get some fuel line, we got it fixed. Everything felt awesome, again, until... about four miles down the trail I came out a corner got on throttle left off for next corner throttle stuck wide open. Now I figured the throttle cable was too tight after messing with the air box, NOT MY LUCK. What had happened was, the little plastic clip that holds on the spring to the choke rod busted and became wedged in between the throttle cable and assembly. Got that out then realized we had to figure out a way to hold the choke rod in place.
After all this I still love the shit out of this sled yea it is 16 years old but damn it I love it.
My question is what type of stuff do I need to look into, now I will be replacing all fuel lines and the plastic clip on choke rod. What other plastic should I be looking at four dry rot?
Thanks in advance
Mike
