My son has a 2008 Grizzly 700 that i rebuilt. I thought I read online that starting in 2009, Yamaha added external tubing to the stator cover that would force oil flow over the stator for cooling. This was due to overheating stator failures. ...
I bought a new 2017 220LTS with factory installed Yamaha 200 4cyl. It was not enough motor for that hull. I tried everything (props, motor height, etc..) but still had a slip of 20%. This was the re-designed hull that was supposed to be faster. I sold it when kids wanted to hunt rather than fish...

re: F150 Tailgate latch issue

Is it the machanical latch or the electronic button? My 2017 F150 has only the electronic button and I began having trouble getting it to open. A YT search identified many owners with same problem. Bought new actuator from dealership and replaced myself. ...

It’s actually Ice Hole Coolers. I bought the 18 can soft cooler. It has been great for use on my 4-wheeler: fairly priced compared to Yeti, green for hunting, has attachments loops on side for securing to rack while still allowing easy access....

Check out Ice Hole coolers. I have been impressed with the quality . ...

Other things to consider: I assume you have one dedicated return (where your filter is). If you leave doors closed, you can starve the return duct of air flow. The return will then pull air from the attic or from outside (thru leaks) to make up for the loss. I’ve tested air velocity leaving my su...

[quote]i know the 20F rule between the outside and the inside,[/quote] I believe you are referring to the supply air should be 18-21F cooler than the return air. As others have said, the following things can cause poor performance: Incorrect air flow (dirty filter, dirty evap coil, wrong f...

[quote]First the capacitor was replaced. It worked again for 24 hours and stopped again. Then they replaced the motor outside and again, it worked for 24 hours and is now working when it feels like it. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn’t.[/quote] What only comes on sometimes? The co...

Popeyes Typical experience: Went to one in Ferriday two weekends ago. Multiple cars in drive-thru asked to pull forward and park. I wait impatiently as employee brings me my order. I can tell it’s not my order and inform the idiot. She looks at SUV driving away and says “dat man jus took yo o...

NFA rules apply to barrel length and overall length. Keep the barrel16” or longer and the overall length 26” or longer and you’re legal. ...
From a quick internet search, bluish smoke indicates that a motor is burning oil. I would do a compression test. Most auto parts stores will sell a kit for performing the test. You’ll be able to identify if it’s cylinder/piston/rings or a valve problem....

re: Brute Force 750 not starting

Posted by ManK on 10/21/21 at 6:15 pm
At Brute Central in the Brute Talk forum. Look on the second page of the ‘Places to get stuff’ thread. There’s a link to a 2012-14 Brute Force service manual. It should suffice as there were little changes from 14 to 16....

re: Brute Force 750 not starting

I would look online for a service manual. It’ll have wiring diagrams, sensor locations, and testing methods. I have a ‘new to me’ 2015 Brute Force. Haven’t had a need for the service manual but I’ll look tonight. Also, check out Brute Central. It’s a good resource for Brute owners....

There should be bleed screws at the coolant pump and thermostat to help get the air out. I would also recommend a TrailTech TTO for continuous monitoring of coolant temperature. Disconnect the fan and apply 12vdc directly to it. You want to make sure it works before you start troubleshooting t...
Do you have a multimeter? If so, check voltages and report back. Measure voltage at the copper lugs of the main breaker? Voltage from one lug to the other? Voltage from one lug to neutral? Voltage from the other lug to neutral? Voltage from one lug to ground? Voltage from the other lug to gr...
Prop Slip calculator indicates yours to be 18%. That is rather high. I had a similar issue that I was never able to fully resolve. A couple things that did help reduce slip: Prop with less pitch Eliminated an EZ Pump (live well) pick up from directly in front of the prop. I believe this dev...
One possible cause is that your neutral is grounded in two locations. I believe code requires that your neutral be grounded in only one location (transformer or panel). With two grounds, neutral current may flow through ground path. Not certain of coax grounding, but it has a shield that may be grou...
