Nice work ! Personally i would have used stainless steel bolts. Same exhaust?

Go and buy an easy out kit and drill it out with the approximate size bit and back it out. Heat will be key here so tread lightly. Drill out the center of the stud carefully and go in with the easy out.

Thats great, im going to check it out. Make sure you mention Quadcrazy to the club!

Very nice @Frankwhite247. Whats the club all about ? A lot of members?

@Frankwhite247 welcome to Quadcrazy. Nice machines you got there. NY'er here as well. Do you ride different places? Im usually riding in Cairo NY and the occasional trip to Lost Trails in PA as well as the end of Long Island. My kids ride as well. Quadcrazy is a great forum for just about everything ATV!! Check out some of the local clubs within the forum as well. Welcome aboard!

Thats some good news. RM stator has good products, so i would go that route. As far as water in the box i find it odd other then that ride you took so maybe a crack in the box? Something has to be kicking up into the box. I would dry the box out and hit the bike with a hose and check it. If not then find some puddles and take a ride and keep checking. Process of elimination I would think is whats going to get to the bottom of this. Are you sure its water and not any other fluid?

@Justice Owens any luck ?

It works if you go slow. Rushing = broken bolts. It will come loose and when it does as it comes out go back in and out etc until its comes all the way out. The rust comes off the bolt as you back it out and can ruin threads so go back in if you feel the bolt is not coming out and spray it while doing so. If by some chance the Allen head strips you can always grab the outside with a vice grip. Also if the exhaust pipe is shot then cut it off with a sawzall to make access a little easier to your bolts.

Yes, in fact that's what i always use is a propane torch. I hate to recommend it if the user is not familiar with it so i tell them to warm the engine up. Heres what i do: Soak them with penetrating spray and let it sit for 4 hours. Go spray again and let sit overnight. Next day hit it one more time with the spray and get the torch. Warm the bolts up but do not over heat. All you want to do is heat the metal enough to expand. I try going both ways with the bolt. If bolts are shot when you get them out replace.

Ok here's where things can go horribly wrong. You have to spray them down good with penetrating oil spray. Do it once and again every 6 hours for 24 hours. Warm the engine up and then try to back them out. You will get some smoke from the oil burning off. They will snap off and then its a whole new ball game.

Fresh spark plug as well.

A little late but better late then never !!! Sounds like its all good for now. Cant wait to see pics.

Yep and its powerful.

Sandpaper was 500 to get it down quick and then 800. It was not as bad as you would think. Its 10 times easier if the plastics are off of the atv. The sanding goes quick and its water sanding so no dust. Jumper pack i got on eBay my brand was i think red pack or red something.... But heres another that is the same. These things are a life saver especially when I'm heading out to go get an atv that was sitting. I can hook it up and crank and check for compression etc. Arteck Car Jump Starter Auto Battery Charger and 8000mAh External Battery Charger Car Jumper for 12V Automotive, Motorcycle, Tractor, Boat, Phone with Clamps, LED Flashlight, 300A Peak 2.5L Gas Max https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DVSSCG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_usVzEbQNWD8RF

Agreed. Have you researched the studs you want ? I looked on eBay and man there are tons! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123987840484

Thats great. Food, water and fuel all you need! (Beer for me) lol Great stuff brother. Ride safe.

I do recommend a way to clean them up. Take a look at this last project i did. Water sand and apply a clear coat thats flexible and durable to chemicals. Let me know what you think.

@payne thats great news and awesome work brother. All i did was point you in the right direction. You did all the work! Tidy up all the wiring and make sure to lube and properly service that atv and take care of it. Post some pics, stay in touch. Ride safe.

72 here today!!! Finally some decent weather. ☀️

Yes they do. I am impressed so far with the quality. Flywheel puller showed up today so i might get onto it tonight, lets see.

Far enough to have to take fuel with you? Bigger groups are a lot of fun to ride with.

Ok thats good. Just because a battery shows 11-12 v it does not mean it will crank an engine. Sometimes a cell is bas within the battery. Make sure the battery is properly charged and ready to go or new. Its important.

If that relay clicks then it should send power to the starter. So the relay is most likely bad.

Yep, thats what I'm waiting for. Heading up in the next week or so to start shed hunting.
