    Joe called me yesterday so the Hallstead Poker run is definite now. Next week the flyers should be done. Mike

    Hallstead is the 7th, presuming they are having their poker run this year.

    SSRT hands down

    Good to hear it was an easy fix

    One was voted on and passed, the other one will have to wait until the next meeting. Mike

    Nice updates, thanks for sharing

    I know with newer models to replace an outboard boot (closest to the tire) you do indeed have to remove the inboard boot (diff side) Fortunately I have only torn up inboard boots so far but now I am sure I jinked myself Mike

    The cost to ship a few diodes would be far more then the cost of the diodes.

    More likely the battery itself is weak and could not handle the large draw the winch put on it. Same thing happened to me plowing snow, pod flashed "volt" when winching the plow up and this was with a charged battery. The stock batteries suck, I replaced mine with a better aftermarket one and never had problems with it since. Mike

    Radio Shack does not sell a 10 amp diode but they do sell 5 amp ones and what you can do is they come in a 4 pack or something like that. Solder two in parallel and that will double the current it can handle. Make sure you have the polarity correct when replacing it. Swampcat is right, the diode is inside the wire harness near where the fan connection mates into the harness. Mike

    Never had an issue with my '07 fuel pump, I would also check the fuel lines and vacuum line for cracks and leaks. Mike

    Find the lead from the relay to the starter motor and put a meter to it and ground. Press the start button and you should read 12 volts from it. If that is a no-go, then pull off the smaller connection (that comes from the button and test it for voltage when you press the button. I just recently replaced mine because it was failing. Attached is a picture (from an Arctic Cat) but any quad should be similar. Mike

    Look above in this form for my post on extracting and printing schematics. There is a link for where you can get the service manual and wiring diagram for free. From your description of the problem I would suspect one of the diodes in your fuse block is either blown out or shorted out. (maybe one is in backwards?) Mike

    I broke the boot on the 366 model and the option was to either replace the boot or replace the whole thing (coil, wire, and boot) for like $4 more. Seems like in his case from the diagram he can just replace the wire and the boot, the coil for his machine is a lot more money then it was for the 366 model.

    Its not integrated with the CDI, The coil with wire is part #32 on this diagram. Here are the part numbers. Go to a local Arctic Cat dealer or order online at countrycat.net 32 3530-027 COIL, IGN $83.97 33 3430-009 SEAL, HIGH TENSION CORD $3.65 34 3430-007 CAP ASSY, SPARK PLUG $9.00 35 3430-008 SEAL SPARK PLUG $4.24 Mike

    Good to hear!

    Look at this thread. http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/arctic-cat-atv-forum/10091-extract-print-arctic-cat-atv-schematics.html You can get the schematic for the machine there and the thread shows you how to print it out. You need a meter to check the fuses, they may look ok, but you could have still blown one. Next I would check the ignition switch and if possible jump it out to test it. Mike

    12 volts wouldn't shock anything. Unless you have that battery wired to something like an electric fence unit to boost the voltage up (and lower the current so it isn't lethal) Mike

    The Bucktail Medical Center Relay for Life Team along with the community is planning the 2nd Annual ATV ride which is slated for June 9th. This event honors cancer survivors and those who have lost their battles. This ride will start in Renovo, PA at the Heritage Park lot traveling to the “Bloody Skillet” parking lot on DeHaas Road and back - an estimated 50 mile jaunt. For this day we will have local vendors, organizations, and businesses will have stands avaible hoping to make it a community day. **All participants will receive a t-shirt and meal for joining this event** This is a great event for a good cause. I attended it last year and there was plenty of time after the event to hit the state trails to ride some more. Event info and registration is here.

    Depending on the machine, some have a screen pan. I stripped my plug on my machine and simply replaced the screen pan. ($40) Diagram shown is an Arctic Cat.

    I recently had a situation on a ride where I was going through an old railroad tunnel and hit a puddle and BLAM! quad died right in the tunnel. After being towed out my main fuse was blown. Replaced it and all seemed fine until I switched on my lights, then the main blew again. Replaced it and rode back without using the lights. Next day everything was fine. Took the headlight connections apart and cleaned & greased them. I would think it is a similar situation, multiple loads, none of which would blow the associated fuse but together drawing a bit too much and blows the main. One thing you can do is the next time it blows one, look at it carefully, if it looks like the strip inside just melted then it is an overload condition, if it vaporized, that means a short circuit. That would most likely be a wire in the harness in the rear section of the quad. You mentioned a tow behind mower and such, does it draw any power from the quad? (hooks up to the rear accessory port?) Mike

    Warn winch, works well.

    Here is mine, the Cat ripping up the mud pit.

    Sounds like his fuel tank is in the rear and he won't have a shut off valve. He was describing a fuel pump system. I can vouch for seafoam as well. good stuff to use. Mike
