Reb we have no shot on the atv.

One Fall I was having problems with it and I was up north.  I spent parts of two days trying to fix it including one trip to Walker and one to Bemidji.  I became obsessed but couldn't get it to start.  On day three my bafoon neighbor came over and was watching me work on it, he was buggin me more than watching me.  He went over to the left side and turned the gas tank from "off" to "on" and it started right away.  

I have no mechanical skills.

geez...hope I never come to you for some major medical device.  You may bet guys on here on that too!  You guys could start a pool with time of death and cause of death too.  Nice friends...  my poor atv is sick.

Drain the oil.  If it is runny and smells like gas, that is a clue.  In the old car days a ruptured fuel pump diaphram would do something like that.

If water cooled could be coolant filling the crankcase.

then what?  The oil on the garage floor has a beautiful rainbow in it, which I assume is gas.

as for the fish, on first measurement it is about 9.6 times the width of the kid's knuckles.   My knuckles are bigger than a kid's and are just over 3 inches.   So,  that would make the fish right in the range of 30 inches.  

I'll see if I can blow up the picture and get you a better number. 

About the atv.   Gas in the tank, fuel pump, carb.  That's the path.  Gotta be one of those things the way I see it.   Probably either a vacuum operated fuel pump, like on outboard motors, or runs off the camshaft like on older cars.   Two stroke or 4?  gravity feed gas?  follow the fuel line. 

You might as well drain the oil, you will have to anyway.

You were on the right track with the Fetzer valve and 30 weight ball bearing grease. If anything squeegee up all the fluids off the floor and put back in. Tie a rope from the truck to the atv,  if the wife isn't busy have her pull ya around  to try to jump start it. Just make sure you have the key on and not in reverse. .

you two go to blows and my little poor Honda ATV sits on life support.  This thread needs a derail.

My pond hockey rink is hosed.  Plowed it off and it sprung a leak and now it's slushy from the snow and is going to freeze.  It's a boot hockey rink for a while I guess.

Nothing wrong with a little boot hockey, as a matter of fact I was a superb boot hockey player back in my daY. I always felt better about being poor, running around on the ice in my moon boots (that more than likely had duct tape holding them together) than the other poor kids who were playing in figure skates! I mean how embarking would that be? Man, we used to have a great time though. 

Did you hear that marshawn lynch is out four Sunday's game? That should give the vikes a little edge, speaking of edge, you guys ever use them ceramic knives? My mom got me a couple for a birthday present this past year and man are those things sharp. Very impressed with them so far.

So anyway carry on boys, and a little shout out before i go for NDSU playing for there fifth national championship today. Go Bison!!

Thanks leech lake for letting my post all this on your hijack thread.

Not to change the subject of this thread, but we should be making ice this morning, right Boar!!  Should be a go for sure next weekend, make sure you save me some of that blackstrap jerky I saw you were whipping up this weekend!

Heres another fun fact, the Bison play Jacksonville state today for the national championship. Me, not knowing who they are, figured for sure they would be from Florida. Wrong, they are from Alabama! Man,  I am just a wealth of knowledge this morning. Must be from the two pots of coffe I've drank this morning!!

The youngest got her permit a couple of weeks ago so everyone stay off the roads today, naw she's doing a good job. Speaking of driving,  think I'll have her drive me over to LL'S place for a pre-game boot hockey tourney tomorrow morning.  Kids against us old farts, time to blow the dust off the sherwood. ..:eek:

bobber-  my daughter has her permit too.  If she drives like her mom we're in trouble.  Yesterday Deb was driving and couldn't pick a parking spot and I finally got out of the car after she himmed and hawed about three diffferent parking spots so we could walk 50' inside to the safety meeting.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
