    Turns out it was a scam.   It's too bad that someone from this site sent me to the info to contact his friend.   Googled the friends email and bam!   Scam central.   I hate people like that.   Thank you for your info and knowledge 

     

    Please report whoever referred to the Mods, need them out of here too.

  2. So I'm out a deer camp and ran the sxs for 2 days.  The next morning, fired it up and headed out.  Made it about 50 yds then bogged down and died.   Restarted twice and only moved a few feet then would not restart.  Took the truck out for the day to hunt and when I got back I could hear the fuel pump kick on when the key was turned but it would still not start.  Added stabilizer to the fuel and put the trickle charger on it and tried again the next day, still the same - pump coming on and turning over but no start.  Other than spark plug, air filter or injector clog any ideas?  Out in the middle of nowhere so limited on resources.

    In my experience with "structural" items that may see a lot of flex or pressure the best bet is to use something like this.

    bondo doesnt flex enough and will fall off, certain epoxies may be ok in lower stress situations. The staple welder style tool above gives the plastic real structure to stay together long term.

    Thanks for the info, saved it for later. 
    Walked our trail again today, didn’t find anymore pieces though. 

  4. So, coming down a trail this weekend I heard a noise I did not like.  When I got to the bottom I stopped and got out to look around.  I had a cedar branch sticking out of the passenger side in front of the rear tire.  This branch poked out 2 pretty good sized holes.  I was able to recover one piece from the topside of the skid plate and found one other small piece on the trail but I am still left with a couple golf ball sized holes in my plastic. I've found a couple products online, something called plasti-hair and some bondo for plastic bumpers.  Anyone have any experience with either of these or another suitable way to repair the remaining holes?  

    I was able to superglue the one big piece I recovered and it stayed on the rest of the weekend.

  5. From my manual:

    INCORRECT ENGINE IDLING SPEED

    Engine 1. Cylinder and cylinder head • Incorrect valve clearance • Damaged valve train components

    2 Air filter • Clogged air filter element

    Fuel system 1. Throttle body • Damaged a loose throttle body joint • Improper throttle cable free play • Flooded throttle body • Faulty air induction system Electrical system

    1. Battery • Discharged battery

  6. The way they are set up I think you can rule out being over-filled.  Sounds like it has still been running so something cracking it from the inside doesn't sound plausible either.  My guess is a weak spot in the case when manufactured.  Other than a replacement, I'd probably opt for Industrial Strength JB Weld (depending on how big the crack is).  I've seen guys fix automotive tranny's with that stuff.
