Still tearing it down to get access to the relay block, but I'm on 12 hour shifts this week, and also more weekend OT, so not much progress is going on at the moment.

That sucks Mark, hope you find some time to rip the wires out.

Hope to see you there Adam.

Hey Mark, how's the overtime and quad coming along?

Still doin OT here and there, and also got the quad more tore down...putting the rad back in its stock location, and bringing the amp tube up top to the new box lid...and then gonna remove the snorks from the pod and go with externals.
Busy with other stuff here too, so I might be able to ride by the time the water warms back up next year!

At least it isn't scorching hot for all the projects. How come you're putting the radiator back in the stock spot?

It just never seemed to cool very efficiently up top. Pretty sure the brass 90's that I used restricted the flow too much.
Amp is toast too....water finally got into it.

That sucks, I try not to get to much water on mine even though we took it apart and resealed everything really good.

Had a fun weekend. My dads quad kept getting hot and we figured out it was the thermostat, so we took it out and gutted it and put it back in and it ran good. My belt housing is leaking somewhere now because I have no power in the water.... We rode the whole big creek, all the way from the top of his property downstream to past his property. I almost swamped mine, the front end hit a hole in the sand and it kept digging deeper in reverse so I had to jump off of it and back it out. Hit most of the deep mudholes, but forgot to try the one just below where we camp. Was saving it for last because I knew it was deep.

Hoping to go back one more time this year, probably just for a long day ride.
