Ok, understand that but who sells the tune

Well coincider yourself lucky. I’ve been dealing with and oil leak which nobody could find. Looked like it was coming from drain plug but wasn’t. I finally found it coming from static cover. Damaged from factory, cover couldn’t seal properly against gasket from surface not being true to one another. Very frustrating to say the least. If the splash pan wasn’t welded solid to the frame so you could see properly, I would have found it sooner. Glad your not having any issues

Great write and and pics. Thanks for taking the time to put that together. Rick

Ya I think that’s the way to go with this issue. I plan on doing mine when I get back from trip.

Okay , perfect!

Understood, how much did you purchase to do what you did?

I’ll give it a try. How come you only did the bed and not more

Ya please do, like to know what you end up using for sound matting. Sends some pics when you get it done. I’m sure it would help others as well. Thanks again

Perfect! Thanks, Rick

Hey HighSon, did you ever get that exhaust silencer you had mentioned in post 24 of yours? Inquiring minds want to know, 🤪

Sounds like a plan, please post some pictures of the install and results of noise difference. Thanks

That’s a far cry from just messin with the engine. Sounds like you have a few bucks in that motor. I bet it sounds and performs like a raped ape. Congrats. Don’t know if I’m willing to go that far but wanted a little bit of horse power and torque from stock. Thanks for the reply. A picture of motor would be nice to show off.

Will do!

Your 100% correct. It is used as a lubricant for threads. I wrapped the threads and we will see what happens. Most likely I will have to get a thicker o-ring if it starts leaking again. Just don’t understand why it is like this and nobody else is leaking seeing they use the same setup. I don’t get back to side x side to October, so I’ll see if it leaked just sitting there. My fingers are crossed. thanks for your reply

That is used to hook up a battery tender to maintain your battery while not in use for long periods of time. I also installed that setup on my motorcycle and wave runners.

Well got new drain plug and oring and looks identical to original and same crush distance. So what I did was Teflon taped threads being carful not to have any excess that would enter oil reservoir. Even though there is a strainer which would prevent that. Anyway, problem solved but would have liked to know why that was leaking in the first place. I still say it didn’t have enough crush to properly seal it the correct way as designed. I don’t like fixing symptoms, I’d rather fix root cause.

Just latched up with new seat belt (let’s call it a key), and it fits just like seat belt lock. Just fyi, you only need drivers side to deactivate system cause passenger side is a different size and not needed. thanks again for the lead on this

Dealer is getting a new drain plug with matched Oring to go with it. I’m curious to see how deep the groove is on the new plug. Hopefully there will be a difference so I know I found the root cause, will see

LoL, well I ordered two not knowing if passenger is required or not. Will,see what happens. Thanks for the info on that.it will make it easier to go back when needed without going under seat to disconnect.

So do you think this will work? I guess it’s cheap enough to try

That would be awesome if he would chime in for sure. I know everyone has a concern about wearing seatbelts and I do in car and truck. This machine is basically for running around the neighborhood on asphalt. This will never see off road or jumping hills etc. I bought it due to gas power golf cart doesn’t have enough a$$ to go up and down the mountain hills where we live in Georgia mountains. Thanks for chiming in on this topic. If anyone knows of the correct clip to purchase, please let me know. I don’t want to cut wires or scotch lock connect perfectly good wiring. It will cause problems down the road.

I’m thinking I’m only getting a 20% crush. That’s why I’m thinking that the drain plug groove was machined to deep preventing the proper crush. Will see what the dealer says. I’d rather get a new drain plug instead of bastard sizing with thicker o-ring. If that’s even what it is. Thanks for jumping in on this.
