  1. I have never seen one of these.
  2. You have been busy. Glad you got it going.
  3. The Moose is interesting,I didnt know that was a Kawasaki decal, never seen one with a Moose here. Maybe only in Sweden.
  4. 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.
  5. Thanks for that Mech! I will try and see if any of that helps.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. How did you check it for spark
  10. Excellent advise!
  11. I would check the coil for proper resistance on primary and secondary .
  12. 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.
  13. Beautiful country, great video, what a machine. We dont have much snow in the south mostly mud.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Very soothing, nice area, beautiful waters, thanks for sharing.
  17. It sounds like the main jet may be clogged or not getting enough gas, will it idle without choke.
  18. Mitsubishi CDI unit those rarely fail. What problems are you having.
  19. That sounds about right , including the repair.
  20. I would agree I’m no pro welder myself and structural integrity would also be my concern plus that takes time also. That’s why I said if was mine I would pull the engine, but you also want it safe for your customers , so I would just take the time and pull the engine,it shouldn’t be too bad .
  21. I totally agree, oil pan needs to be replaced. I know JB weld is a standard cheap fix but i have not had good luck with it. If it was mine i would pull the engine and replace the oil pan, but since it is a rental unit i might be tempted to go with the easier option.
  22. Agreed, i never did find the exact manual for mine either , it was close enough that i could do wire tracing and little things, but was not exact, for yours with the higher end electronics it could be difficult, i hope you find the right manual.
  23. Sometimes aftermarket parts dont fit exactly right, i think i would take the new starter out put the old back in and try to pull start it and see if the noise is still there when running. The only thing i can think of that might be happening is if the new starter shaft is touching part of the engine thats moving causing the squeal. Starter shaft should not bee moving once the engine starts. When out compare the old with the new and see if they are the same.
  24. Glad to see you are getting it sorted out. Hate to see a good machine wither away from neglect. In my book its not even that old and it is toward the end of the Big Bear run. I have only seen a few of the 250s plenty of 350s and 400s around.
