Thanks I am Carbon, absolutely, free is the best price of all!
The snow is a pain in the arse but I like it - I'm a big kid!
I will have a pint of the Miners Arms finest Ale for you!

Oh, and I stuck my meter across the "LED Neutral" circuit to provide a little voltage - and I got a cool little green light on the bars when I clicked into neutral -

Cool! I couldn't help myself and powered up my turns and headlight yesterday.
Have a good one Paul.

 

[Paulrxs650]

You have to dont you! I'v know idea why

Will do

 

[Paulrxs650]

Nothing much done yesterday as the weather is so bad - just too cold for the shed - so i went to the pub instead!

Wishing I hadnt now

Ordered an ignition unit today so hopefully that will be here this week and I can get the wiring finished off.

So in sted of saving some money and work in the cold shed u went drinking lol did u take the quad to the pub at least

 

[Paulrxs650]

Yeah I know and I did but I was that pissed when I came out I couldn't find it in the snow! Eventually dug it out and went home.
Not the freshest this morning! Weather has closed in all day with blizzards and drifting snow. 8 to 10 foot drifts tonight with more snow coming down. Can't even see the X5 it's that deep. Tractor the only way to travel!

[Sub xs650]

Wow no work for u that's a lot of snow I got an inch last nite bite melted allready

 

[Paulrxs650]

Yeah, just a tad! We usually get it quite bad up here in the borders, firtst good one of the winter and last I hope! Thats pic is ona good knee down bend - in the summer!
Hopefully, I will get in the shed (literally cant open the door at the moment) this weekend and crack on with the wiring. Ordered some braided sheathing to cover the heat shrink to provide some protection and hopefully it will look a little more pleasing to the eye.
Once I have all the connections done I'll test the circuits and see if I get a spark. I 'll then finish the fuel lines up, add petrol and go for start!

 

[Sub xs650]

Nice to bad u have to tear it all down to paint it and then put it back to gether

 

[Paulrxs650]

I know, the way I look at it, is that if I have messed up somewhere and need to make that hole a little bigger or grind that down, I'm not woryying about my lovely new powdercoat and paint -If I damged that I think I would go mental!
