And for a change....an artic cat 350

Never worked on an 'murcan quad before.
Used to work for the H in a quad dealership, so know my way around them generally.(Yes I know big H build their quads in the US, but designed and signed off in Minato)
What a gawd awful thing it is!
Plastic panels bolted to each other, rather than plastic pop pins, side panels bolted to the frame and pop fittings!
Plastic bushes in the suspension arms........urrggghhhhhh.
Honestly looks like someone described a honda over a bad telephone line and then someone built it as cheaply as possible.

Just doing some last minute house fettling before we return to the septic isle, thought I'd use the quad to tow the wood trailer about.
No dash lights, no fan and deffo no start.
FFS!!!!!!!
So check starter relay, clean out pins etc......aha! fan works, but no dash
Right, wtf are the fuses. Find them under a front panel......all good....bollox
Just touch one of the relays and bingo. Bit of wd used and hopefully all will be well when its collected tomorrow
