Yay you! Maybe I'll get inspired and get back on the King Quad. I love Triflow, a gunsmith turned on on to it years ago. It's actually Teflon based, and it smells great.

Wow this has been a journey. Looks like you're doing great though. I'm with you on the ez outs. The buggers promise the world and then treat you like crap. Always hiding in the tool box, calling my name. 😀

I love this group of folks. Everyone shares their knowledge so freely and there isn't any fb type crap. Mech is this ignition the same as on my 91 Hilux 22re? I had to replace the ignitor once. And I'll say it once again! I hate it when the sparkulator don't spark.

Yes a valve adjustment can help with cold starts. Chinese carbs are hit and miss on quality and can be a bear to dial in. Personally I'd look at ebay for a used oem. There's no temp sensor on that carb.

Scarily so.

Four more posts and you can download a manual. I'd look at ground connections.

A variation on the theme.

I agree with haying to harvest it, but just to cut it down it looks ideal. I'd have one if it was in the budget. I think that tires that handle all the rocks we ride over here In West Virginia can handle those staubs.

Since this op I've seen 3 different used pull hehind mowers on FB Marketplace. Mech the one I plan on using is a vertical shaft. The 16 hp briggs in my old Bolens is a horizontal, same l head configuration. Your son might like these pics. With, and without the cooling shroud. I love the farmer applied crack repairs. I'm fixing to copy his deck roller replacement. His method will replace them all for around $25.00. New ones are available for about $150..

For certain things I use it a lot. Not where actual grese is required though.

Mech I bet having paid you get a break. The new look at this to continue is a bit much, but if it keeps the bills paid then I shouldn't whined.

Thanks y'all. I may try something on mine. They seem to be in good shape for now so some spray stuff might help them last a while.

I've a thought, don't know if it's worthwhile but... Has anyone used any sort of rubber protectant on their boots. I'm bringing back an old machine that sat in the field of lost dreams for years. The boots aren't ripped or dry rotted but I would like them to last a while. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks I'm indeed having fun. Check out the same post under the King Quad 300 section of the Suzuki ATV forum. Kinda long winded but like you said I'm having fun.
