So, I hit the bezel with clear after I outlined the lettering with a silver sharpie. It turned out ok. I thought a d thought about it and decided to paint the plastics because they are so faded that I thought the clear wouldn't do the trick. I'll post more when I'm done.

Got it

Oh, i was confuse. The pic you sent said gloss on it.

Wonder how a satin would look?

Did the rep specify gloss over satin or semi gloss? Did you sand in between coats? I have one can of satin.

I actually think I have some of that.

I tried to remove it, but felt like it ezout was going to break off, so I just drilled the whole thing out. I have this clearcoat that's for motorcycle plastic i believe. Wonder is this would work for the plastics? More importantly, wonder if its flexible?

I had that bolt laying around, started to use the ezout, but felt like it was gonna break. I just loosely bolted the same header pipe on to see if it worked. I found a used one for $30 on ebay

Drilled and taped for a new bolt, all good.

I posted a pic of the extractors I have. Aren't those easy outs?

I have these

Bottom one came out fine. Top one broke. I may have rushed that one or not hot enough. What should I do next?

What clear coat did you use?

I'll give it a try. I wish they were bolt head, not allen.

Them breaking off is what I'm worried about. Is there any sort of repair wrap that I could use rather than removing it? Think propane torch would heat them up enough to loosen? I dont have cutting torches.

Already got a new one in it. Next problem.....how to remove the bolts for the header. Very rusty! Seeing as the parts are so cheap, I'll probably get a new relay and solenoid The exhaust is swiss cheese, so it needs removed.

That thing is tiny, lol. Does it last long enough to crank on it for awhile?

That looks great! It may be a lil more work than I'm willing to do. Not sure. What grit sandpaper do you use? What mini battery jumper do you use?

Thanks again. Think it was a combination of partially broken wire coming from ignition, bad/corroded connections things like that. I was actually fixing it for my brother in law. He's wanted a quad for few years now and he found this cheap, not running. I'll post some pics when I'm done. Plastics are faded real bad. Was gonna try a heat gun on them or do you suggest something else? I have a CFMOTO now, but had a 08 Rancher 420 and 87ish Bayou before.

Think I got it Frank! Used my lawnmower battery and it started right up. I think I'm gonna get a new relay because its hit or miss with it it seems. Thanks for all your help, I greatly appreciate it!

I take that back. Removed hot wire to starter. Connected test light to it at it lit up when I jumped the starter button wires. Light looked kind dim. Thinking maybe my battery is bad. It has 11.2v when no load is on it, but I have a trickle charger on it. I'm gonna try and see if my lawn mower battery does any different tomorrow.

Ok, I do believe that I'm not getting power to the starter still though. I put I test light on the 12v wire coming into starter and jumped started button and the light didnt light up.

Now when I jump the 2 wires at the starter switch, the relay clicks but starter isnt cranking

Orange wire has power now, I found a broken wire. Red wire going to key was nearly broke
