Rock on...the Joyner is awesome. Can’t tell you the times I have hauled one of the Polaris guys back to get their trailer because of a broken axle. My buddies call it the family truckster! Just took a short ride about town and along the railroad trail here in Tennessee...have tags on mine.
Replace the fuel filter behind the gas tank. Mine was partially stopped up after 1000 miles, but the replacement has been good for the last 4000 miles...I got one at autozone that worked.
I remember modifying that starter circuit on my Joyner years ago. Seems that the wiring from the key switch to the starter solenoid is not adequate to carry the current required to activate the solenoid, so I wired it to an external 12vdc relay that I placed near the starter. Next I ran wires from the battery which is close for the relay to supply voltage to starter solenoid.
No start relay, just a 12v switched wire from the key switch to the starter solenoid small terminal. The solenoid (small round cylinder on the starter motor) is the starter relay.
Had a loose wire to my starter solenoid once also.
To test the starter, just short across the large terminals with a screwdriver. It’ll spark a bit, but if the starter is good, the engine will crank...use a old screwdriver.
I had been wanting to install power steering on my T4 for years so I went to the salvage yard last weekend and bought a complete column (minus airbag) out of a 2009 Nissan Versa for $125 with the ECU.
It was a fairly simple install. The long shaft that fits to the Joyner steering rack actually fit perfectly into the Nissan column. Had to weld up a U joint on the Nissan column to make it a straight shaft and fab up one simple bracket. Connect power and ground plus a switched 12v and now I can steer with one hand!
Try Casey Ye... [email protected] I have ordered axle shafts and a few other parts from him for my 2009 T4. You have to pay with PayPal after you receive an invoice, but I have had no trouble. Also try Jounerusa...
Hey guys...thought I would mention that I have also ordered joyner parts from Casey Ye at leaf Asia... [email protected] Let him know the part number and you will get a price. If you want to order the parts, Casey will send an invoice and I have paid with PayPal without problem.
I’ve ordered 3 or 4 times over the past 4 years and always received my parts from Silverbullett...sometimes it is a drawn out process without much communication but they always arrive sooner or later.
I’ve had my 09 T4 for about 5 years and have not been able to find an aftermarket option for brake pads. Usually order from joynerusa or EBay. Check your wheel spindle bearings...if they are worn, it will cause brake problems (soft feel and uneven wear.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have bought the propeller shafts and other parts from Casey Ye... [email protected] Just email the part numbers you need. Another good source is http://joyner-usa.com/. They are always helpful...and Rich at Silverbullett has a lot of Joyner parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If have the originals in my 2009 T4, but have ordered the "polyurethane" ones from silverbullet.com...twice...Silverbullett is just a bit difficult to deal with and its hard to get them to actually charge your credit card and send the parts.
And another...got stuck that day, just me and my son, and he had an injured leg that he was trying to keep out of the water. Glad we had the farm jack and snatch block, that stock winch had to go.
