It's been awhile


Recommended Posts

It's been awhile since my grandpa's death. Mostly over at his house cleaning out over 40 years of junk in that basement. No really we took out over 30 bags *the big black bags* of trash,2 dryer's, and 1 washer, and didnt even dent the basement.

So I'm busy to even get on here. just letting you guys know whats up.

Ya thanks guys.

Ya been still cleaning that house got it down to maybe 30years left of junk left lol.

So far we had 2 yard sales at my mom's cousin's place, and when were going to have 1 at grandpa's house we have to move the truck to are house.

But awhile back I found out I was getting grandpa's truck he had, and a few other stuff.

Very sad he only drove this sonoma for about over a year.

Bought it with like 34k miles on it, and it has 41k since he last drove it a week before his death.

Not quiet yet in a few weeks we need to change the plates from Illinois to Missouri plates, and have it tested in Missouri to.

We might just kept the truck over at his house till we sell the house.Unless I want to kept it at our house.

looks like its still in great condition

Ya he always hand wash it atleast every 2weeks never been out in the sun much,only has a little piece chipped off under the rear bumper getting out of the driveway I notice.

i'd be holding my head high everytime i drove it, thinkin my grandpa was sittin in the passenger seat listenin to the radio with me.

Ya when I heard the news about that I was getting it. When I sat in it I started breaking down crying since. We used to drive it everytime I was up there

But 1 thing he never used that radio in there besides I think 3 times. He always had it off with the window down.

So I tested it out, and sounds good.Didnt put a CD in it yet to check that but I think that will be good to.

.

But ya always kept it clean, and always maintenance it when needed to.

Still miss him tho

Sounds good. I have a piece of my Grandfather with me very often. I carried one of his knives everywhere I went for a long time. I also used to carry one of his pocket watches when I dressed up. I miss him a lot and it has been 17 years. I wish the most that he could have met his great-grandson they would have gotten along very well.

I'll try to hurry back LOL.

But there is mostly 1 thing I will change is to take off that GMC emblem in the grill, but its all 1 piece so I might need to buy a new grill.

.

It's also a SLS, I just love the sport suspension thats good on the corners, good power, 16 - 22 city and 23 - 28 highway mpg. Mostly everything I need is in that truck

Unless its snows, and getting out of are neighborhood o boy I got a better chance getting my ATV up it in 2wd.

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      Hi guys
      My 87 Bear 350 won't start and could use a hand.
      Turn key on and Oil light turns on and then slowly fades out. (I think this is key to this) No start, not even a tick.
      battery and connections good
      A Solenoid post jump turns it over
      Neutral Safety Switch wire attached and seems good
      It has not had a wire/switch on Rear Brake Pedal ever since I had it.
      Any thoughts on some other things to troubleshoot this??

      The studs in the sprocket hub are stripped out. The hub is probably walloed out also. Probably will have to have a new sprocket hub. I doubt I have the ability nor the tools needed for this job. Thanks for all suggestions/opinions!
