You always start with the simple things first! I learned that the hard way.

It is strange to me that it started without the neutral light being on. I was having an issue with my neutral switch and it would NOT crank without that light on, even though it was in neutral. Even jumping across the solenoid without the neutral light on prevented spark but allowed it to crank over. I tried two solenoids with the same result. I had to ground the neutral switch to "trick" the machine into thinking it was in neutral, until I can run it enough to make sure it is worth putting more work into it, then I will replace the switch, which I understand in in behind the stator.

@@ericpigg2689 It was just a bad display bulb. I had to take the cover off to check it out. Im guessing you don’t have to have the bulb for it to crank since it worked for me.

Some Masta Plasta tape (yeah, that’s the brand name) can easily cover up those holes in the replacement seat.

[@Pickup_Projects]

@@ppainterco I’ve never heard of them. I will have to check them out!

@@Pickup_Projects my pleather seats in my truck cracked. I got a roll of Masta Plasta, cut pieces to fit, trimmed the corners off, and covered up each crack. Held surprisingly well.

Don’t go looking at replacement speedos for these unless you wanna have a heart attack. Good ones are hard to find and expensive. Even the boards to redo your own are expensive if you can find em. I work on them often and to get my hands on a working one was what I could pick up another whole atv with a broken speedo lol

If you take a torch on very low heat over those plastics they will look factory brand new again 🤘🏻

[@Pickup_Projects]

I torched the black plastics but the red plastic didn’t won’t to cooperate. I might have had it on too high.
