  1. So yours will just go in reverse without turning the switch. I always turn my reverse knob switch but have never tried it without turning it so it may not be doing anything either. Last time i rode it i had trouble with the neutral light not coming on, maybe im just not getting it to neutral, but it will roll like its in neutral, neutral has always been hard to find, pull up too hard and it goes to 1st just pull up gently to find neutral,. I think whatever is happeninng might be related.
  2. Thanks for the info
  3. Good thought, clutch plunger could be sluggish when its that cold.
  4. I havent used loctite , but thats a great idea. Thanks for the tip.
  5. Cold air is thicker than hot air, so it takes a little longer for things to work properly. The fix would be to adjust the carb mixture for colder air. I dont think there is a problem it is just factory set for a certain temp range.
  6. I have never seen one of these.
  7. You have been busy. Glad you got it going.
  8. The Moose is interesting,I didnt know that was a Kawasaki decal, never seen one with a Moose here. Maybe only in Sweden.
  9. When im doing something like that with water i generally use Anti Seize, but epoxy is better, since you dont want it coming out anyway.
  10. Thanks for that Mech! I will try and see if any of that helps.
  11. Its mostly troublesome when i pull up to hook on to my trailer i put it in reverse back up hook it up. then cant get it out of reverse, so i have to get off pull the shifter up forcefully with my hand and it will go.Its like i just cant pull it up hard enough to get it out of reverse with my feet without hurting my toes. I thought maybe i need to get some steel toed boots, but decided i really need to fix it.
  12. My Yamaha Big Bear shifts through all the gears good, goes into reverse smoothly, but when i go to get out of reverse it takes a lot of effort to get it back to first gear, and even then it does not go very smoothly, have to pull up on the pedal really hard, anyone else ever had this problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
  13. Params i would have done exactly what you did , bench test with battery and spark plug, weak, order new coil, last time i ordered one it took 3 aftermarket coils before i got one with the correct specs, but as Mech suggested we need to figure out whats killing your coil. Maybe check voltage at the coil when running see if it changes.
  14. How did you check it for spark
  15. Excellent advise!
  16. I would check the coil for proper resistance on primary and secondary .
  17. Just watched you carb video, very good video, its a Kei Hin very similar to the one im working on for my Suzuki. Spark related, check connections very well make sure you have a good ground and check coil resistances with the service manual specs as a guide. I dont think its the CDI from your description, pick up coil maybe ,but you can check to see if you have proper resistance fairly easily, but it still could be trash around the coil, you could also check to see if its putting out the correct voltage.
  18. Beautiful country, great video, what a machine. We dont have much snow in the south mostly mud.
  19. I would check that cylinder for loose connection at the coil or corrosion and replace the spark plug. Bad CDIs do not usually have intermittant spark, they either work or dont work.
  20. Yeah! As Mech suggested the easiest first look would be to pull the fuel hose off the carb and make sure you are getting fuel from your tank to the carb. Nice looking Bayou i really like the color and the moose, very nice green. Most greens are like kind of blah but yours really snaps.
  21. Very soothing, nice area, beautiful waters, thanks for sharing.
  22. It sounds like the main jet may be clogged or not getting enough gas, will it idle without choke.
  23. Mitsubishi CDI unit those rarely fail. What problems are you having.
  24. That sounds about right , including the repair.
