Southern ingenuity

one morning three alabama good old boys and three yankees were in a ticket line at the birmingham train station heading to atlanta for a big football game.

The three northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three southerners bought just one ticket among them.

"how are the thre of you going to travel on one one ticket?" asked one of the yankees.

"watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the south.

When the six travelers boarded the train, the three yankees sat down, but the three southerners crammed into a bathroom together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around

to collect tickets.

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, "tickets please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket

in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea.

Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to the atlanta train

station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while

to their astonishment the three southerners didn't buy even one ticket.

"how are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the

perplexed yankees.

"watch and learn", answered one of the southern boys.

When they boarded the train the three northerners crammed themselves into a bathroom and the three southerners crammed themselves into the other bathroom across from it.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the southerners left

their bathroom and walked quietly over to the yankee's bathroom.

He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".

There's just no way on god's green earth to explain how the

yankees won the war....

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      Starting this build thread to keep up with everything on my build and hope to motivate someone!
       
      I picked up this 2008 Yamaha Big Bear 250 2 weeks ago. A guy that I hunt with parked it at the hunt club for a year or so before I asked him if he wanted to sell. He said " fill my feeder and throw some batteries in my cameras, and you can have it". Sounds like a deal to me! 
      I have attached some pictures of how it sat under a tarp in the woods and when I got it home and cleaned up a little.
