Here are my two helpers, Sally (tan) Chief (black) They're real good dogs and good listeners. I think they have 2 different daddies, The tan one is mixed with Pitbull and some kind of bird dog, and the black one is Pitbull mixed with assuming, a rotweiller or doberman.

The only soldering iron i got takes forever to heat up and barely gets hot enough to melt the solder.... Guess it's time for a new one..... I got Brakes now! bled all the breaks and filled 'er up with brake fluid.

I was going to electrical tape my wire splices and leave it at that, but im going to use those heat shrink sleeves and do it right ,

It does have an alternator, In between the flywheel and block.

I', thinking of replacing the headlights, as they aren't very good for night driving anymore, and Christmas is coming up https://www.amazon.com/Light-Northpole-Flood-Lights-Driving/dp/B01EJWB62U/ref=sr_1_12_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1544845742&sr=8-12-spons&keywords=police+spotlight&psc=1 im thinking about these. Do you think my battery would still work good with these? I think it said they draw 9 watts each.

I fired it up after i got the belt cover on and all, to be sure nothing was rubbing on anything etc. I'm really pleased, It fires right up, just a quick turn of the key. It used to spin over for 3 or 4 seconds before it started.

Pulley bolts torqued, belt cover installed, and shocks installed. the carb has a small gas leak, I tightened the bowl but and I think it stopped it. And I called several parts stores around here and all they have cost the same as the piece I can order.
-
I found the key, it was in a parts bin where i put some of the hardware for it. 😐 Plus, driving to houston anymore you're risking your life! One question, do torque wrenches torque in reverse? left handed threads on the drive pulleys bolts.
-
ack! I installed the transmission drive pulley, but i cant find the key for the Crankshaft pulley. I've looked in the bed where i had some parts, nope not there, then i looked in the box and ziploc bags where i put all the bolts and labeled them, not their either! guess ill order a new one, i installed the fuel tank and pump, i have new fuel line, but it only fits from the pump to the carb, from the tank to the fuel filter is a different size and local parts store didnt have any the right size. and the old fuel line is dry rotted. and the fuel line i need is about 6:" long and costs 24 bucks. 🤬😡

Got it back in the Mule, electric hooked up, stupid cosmetic covers out on, air filter hooked up, just need to put the gas tank in, and put the pulleys on. I finally called it a day after bending over for the 10 billionth time.

I usually drive only around 10 MPH anyway sometimes 15. I know our local small engine guru said not to put a load on it for a little while, as in loading the bed with 5 or 6 50 pound feed sacks, and dont rev it up for long periods. I'll just take it nice and s l o w. how long should i wait for oil change/ i know with break in oil you changer sooner than regular maintenance.

Sound quality isnt good on my tablet. It sounds better in person. How long does it/should it take piston rings to seal? asking since ive heard many opinion on that.

Yep, already have a new Dayco drive belt ready to be installed

I'll post a video as soon as i figure out how to get it from my tablet, to my computer.

Tomorrow I'll hook my compression gauge up to it and see where it's at. Probably once Christmas break starts I'll work on installing it. But it kicks over in about a second and a half.

It'll be a couple of days, just ordered the carb gaskets. That's one thing i like about Rocky mountain atv, over Babbitt's, you can choose your shipping speed. I figured out i had the governor arm in the wrong spot, it's supposed to be on the other side of that stud.
