Got out with the boy the last two weekends to do some riding and set up for hunting on the new property. 42 degrees this am up there! Set up some new tree stands and cameras to see what’s moving around last week. Got up to pull the card from the cams, well surprise surprise there were some big bucks running around! Anyway back to the big city grind for another 5 days and we are out of here again Friday night!

A few things today. Fan is not spinning. Will have to jump the wires. To find out more. To dark to mess with it today. I did notice that while trying to put it into gear it would grind pretty bad then fall in. What should I be looking for here? I'm assuming it will be high idle but what else should I be checking? Thanks again. Hopefully I'll get this thing running good before snow falls as I bought it to plow a few sidewalks.

@Frank Angerano Great pics, love to see t his kind of stuff. If your CAMs capture any other animals, make sure you post them!!! Where's your property, approximately?

If you want to check valve clearances you can download the service manual for free here https://support.countrycat.com/?home_feed=feed&order_by=recent&taxonomy_59981_taxa=78b1c963-9296-4d06-a420-3a0114241c4f I would also suspect there was some bad gas in the tank, gas goes bad with the ethanol.

Happy Hunting! Looks like you got some nice deer to choose from Mike

Welcome to Quadcrazy @Josh Cummins. Have you noticed if the cooling fan comes on? If not then locate the sensor on the radiator and you should find two wires going to it. If you take those two wires off while the key or engine is ON, jump the wires together and the cooling fan should come right on. If so then the sensor is probably bad. You can test it but it’s not worth it, just replace it. If you have seen the fan running then it could be a bad thermostat or water pump. I would lean more toward a thermostat. Make sure you order a gasket with it. If the fan is not coming on at all then there are two fuses that could stop that fan. One is at the fuse box and the other is an in-line fusable link that’s going to the fan.

Valves out of adjustment maybe, your idle could just be set too low, could be a small air leak in the intake somewhere causing it to run lean at an idle.
