After brunch, I called Chuck & asked him why
I hadn't seen him riding around on his Quad runner today. He replied: "because
I can't get it started & I think it has an electrical problem." "Is this a
good time for me to come over & check it out" I asked. "If it's good for
you, it's certainly a good time for me" he answered.
Using my Fluke, I checked
the wiring leading from the battery to the starter solenoid & the voltage was
low. There was quite a lot of mud covering this connection; once moved &
tightened, the regular (12) volt power was found. Why this problem came up all
of a sudden is a mystery to me.
However, one thing I had to bring up was....Chuck's selection of a replacement spark plug. When I compared both the old & the new, there was a shortage of length on the new plug by at least 1/8th of an inch. The person he bought the new plug from told him that he had the same quad runner & that's the plug he used. Well, so far...since the new spark plug has been in the engine, we've had trouble starting that engine. I will encourage Chuck to get another spark plug as recommenced by the owner's manual.
Dinner: Sirloin tip steak, yam, broccoli & corn on the
cob.
Evening movie: "Love with a Proper Stranger." We watched ½.
Lights out:
