Howdy Jay! Glad it went good looking at homes. Yep the reception went well. Enjoy the bike ride. Kinda cold here so far today. Only in the 40's and the wind is blowing like 30 or so.

good morning MN. Sounds like you guys might get a few inches of snow this week.
I got the atv's going this weekend. I pulled the carb off the 06 outlander. last fall it was not idling and would have to get the rpms up to get any power to move. It never started very good after setting for a few days or longer. the carb was clean inside. I think it may have been falling off the manifold carb flange but not sure. I got it back together and seems to start quicker and runs good. Also has a hard random snapping coming from the front. Almost seems like it happens when the front end unloads a little weight. I pulled the cv shaft last year and it seemed fine. Not sure if something in the front differential is slipping or skipping.

Everyone must have been busy today. Was a busy day for me today and came home to find a 6.0 in the yard. I need to throw a couple injectors in it.

So he is getting it ready for next season? seems like he would have the shocks done in the fall so if one had a slight leak he could get most of the season before needing to deal with it. But is less stressful to have things ready to go well in advance. Sucks having to do it during the season, trying to get parts quickly or coordinating with someone to get some work done in time to ride.
