might have a look through this service manual, https://www.manualslib.com/products/Cub-Cadet-Challenger-750-10964022.html I did some general reading across blinker system issues like that across UTV's and Automobiles, Fixes ranged from cleaning a corroded fuse connection, loose ground wire, to a faulty blinker relay and switch... I would also contact Cub Cadet or your local dealer for any possible fixes.

Back when we had our brief polar snap here in Texas last year, my windshield on the mule got iced over so it was hard to see out of of, i kept a washcloth and a container of rubbing alcohol to help melt the ice... of course it was on 12 degrees or so when i did that, so it may be colder where you are at.

I definitely get the service manual if you plan on doing your own maintenance and/or repairs. $100 service manual may keep you from making a $100+ dollar mistake

Got the POR15 on. its drying now. I started this morning around 9, applying the metal prep and cleaner. the metal prep(I applied and let it soak for about 2 hours) did a good job of taking off the flaky rust and getting it to solid metal, with some help from my wire brush of course.. i will wait at least 24 hours before applying the bedliner to let the POR15 do its thing and cure fully.

Welcome!

Well looks like i don't have to worry about getting bedliner now, my neighbor up the road has a little over a 1/2 gallon of Herculiner left over from some Truck projects a few months ago , after watching several YT videos it looks like good tough stuff. Looks like it's designed to roll on.

Appears they use a UHMW plastic (Polyethelene) https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/shop/vehicle-accessories/side-x-side/kaf700cnfnl/999941193/skid-plate-set https://www.curbellplastics.com/Research-Solutions/Materials/UHMW

About 15 more minutes... I'm staying up late to be sure that this year leaves!

i did find this from POR15 (https://por15.com/products/top-coat)as well, it's a top coat made to go over the actual rust preventer/sealer that's supposed to have a tougher skin/finish to it than regular POR15 to protect it.... it seems any GOOD bedliner that i could roll on, comes in at least gallon and is about $70-$100... i really can't justify doing that right now. i guess really i just need something that dries hard and is durable to help protect the POR15.

Hmmm, i think you're on to something, i didn't think of that.

That's the main selling point behind them. although it seems people have found some unintended benefits such as quicker throttle response.. (or placebo)

Iridium is better than copper, but platinum isn't as good as copper. Conduction wise. both have a higher melt point than copper tho. according to NGK.

they use less voltage compared to platinum and copper, so if your coil is not sparking as hot as when it was new, it won't be as heavy of an electrical load, is what it sounds like, it also creates a more concentrated flame and combustion area. I've thought about trying one in mine, some people note a better throttle response.

Honda does sell an autochoke assembly, for the GX engines, however i have never worked on one or seen one installed on one. You could probably contact Honda and get instructions and information about it. https://www.amazon.com/Carburetor-Governing-Bracket-Chinese-Generator/dp/B07F66GXJC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=honda+gx390+auto+choke&qid=1640793133&sr=8-4

UV rays from the sun work overtime on ATV plastics.

I'm getting a small area of rust starting behind each front wheel, (where the cow pies get slung). I'm pleased with the job POR15 did in the bed, so i will just repeat the process in that area. however, i'm not sure how POR15 will hold up to cow crap getting slung on it.. and my reasoning is Cow poo is somewhat acidic, and when left too long with out cleaning off, starts to lift paint, so i don't know how that will affect POR15. what i'm thinking of doing getting steel sheeting with aluminum finish, or a stainless steel sheet and bend it and fit it to the inside of the wheel well to form somewhat of a "splash/splatter" guard to protect the actual frame and sheet metal from further corrosion as well as were I ....there are several places where i could tack weld it to the frame underneath...

Kawasaki sells their 4010 models in a 4 seat conversion with standard cargo bed as well a Polaris with their Ranger Crew. Those would be the top 2 used models i would look at. Possible the polaris ranger crew would be better as it has a little more suspension travel and supposed smoother ride. Honda does sell a 4 seater,, but they sacrificed the cargo bed for 2 more seats, so there is very little room for storage, unless you pack it all on the roof.

I'm not sure where it is locate on that specific machine, but it will similar to this one, if not the same one. https://www.kqmotorparts.com/atv-body-parts/hisun-500-700-voltage-regulator.html

Could be the voltage regulator. Its job is to change the AC current from the stator to DC, and regulate it between 12 and 15 volts output as needed at different amperages as needed. This machine should still be under warranty.
