The handbrake and stumbling sounds like another of those safety devices. Couldn't get the video to run, probably the wrong time of day, evening and everyone's using up my bandwidth..I'll try again in the morning. I did see it start.. nice aye.. If the trans has hydraulic valves in it I'd let it get totally warmed up, and perhaps leave it running in gear to see if the shuttle doesn't come free once the aluminium valve body has expanded. After a long sit the valves could be sticky. Going from forwards to reverse too might help.

My Dad rode it and suggested it was the float, haven't heard anything else from him but I don't quite know for sure yet. First off, yes, the problem is in the mid range of the throttle. Going uphill, throttle dumping it seems to be the only way to receive the power I need at those demanding moments while going uphill. However, towards your second point of it being the floater; I have a trailer that the quad towed just fine at all throttle ranges from 1st to 2nd gear on level ground but those gears never lose power on graded terrain so it's not definitive that its the floater yet. I have about a 300 yard straightaway, I should probably get to those upper gears with the trailer (load on flat ground) and see if that does it. I will get back to you on the results of this little test.

#58.. Oh man that's a bummer.

I admire your persistance to do a great job. You just have to keep telling yourself it will be outstanding when i get through all the obstacles. Keep up the good work!
