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.

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.

I just had a VERY RARE occurance. i had a thought. I was going to use a 2 foot wide by 3/4" plywood for the "test stand", BUT, here is my thought, that ply wood will fit on the frame (where the bed sits), and the wiring harness will reach up there, so i can set the engine on the back, and hook up everything it needs to run in a few minutes. and this will eliminate (maybe) any starting problems. I got to looking and the starter has 2 prongs with 1 grounding tab, and other things. It would be easier said than done. but this way it'll be much easier. hopefully done than said.

Does this look right? The diagram from Kawsaki is no help. I was going to install the carb. woops! Forgot to order carb gaskets!
-
Battery is good I believe, took it off the charger last night and voltage hasnt dropped from 12.7 any.
-
Morning everyone! Cold here. I plan to put the carburetor on today, and maybe attempt to run it, depending on what the battery says. I'll definitely post a video.
