Night Jay!

Mr. Windows, I grew up near a Ford truck at all times! I love the OSB trucks so that was my first choice when I went shopping! I got a good deal on my truck and will just keep paying for parts and maintenance as I figure it's cheaper than a car payment every month! I like the old trucks! I can't help it! lol

Well, adjusted the oil injection, fixed the wiring on the heated grips...

The grips were totally wired wrong and I wonder if it was causing an issue. They were wired with the ground pluged into the right grip, which plugged into the left grip, which plugged into the switch. So it made a big power to ground loop...

I redid it and have heated grips now, hoping it also was shorting out the magneto pickup and causing other issues. We will see...

Dave, I can honestly say I understood about half of that, but it sounds like you have figured something out about your sled? In that case, congrats!

Yeah Jake, I think I did. I didn't really test it much cause, well, my neighbors wouldn't appreciate it at all.

But the sure fix was the wiring. I've been having running issues since I got this POS sled. I thought I had it all good, then went to start it and the recoil rope broke. One thing after another...
