rebuilding bike

[weedeater]

I went to Sowela with a guy from Little Chenier that knew someone with a Foreman that took 55gallon drums and bolted 4x4s to them then bolted them to the hubs and would float it in the marsh

[bjhooper82]

That's funny.

[iron man]

Only thing now I gotta fix on my brothers Wolverine is the front driveshaft needs replacing. Gonna be a pain in the bass.

i bet you talking about privot

[Ray]

Privot is from Grand Chenier.
And it is spelled Private.

[Ray]

Them 4 wd 4 wheelers with 8 tires float.
Seen it many times. Boudreaux's and Theriot's from Lil Chenier all had them at one time.
Just hard to turn on hard ground. In the marsh, go almost anywhere.

Does he say "my not scared", that was one of the things he always said about him and that name does sound familiar and he may have been from Grand and not Little, the guy I knew went by "Biscuit" pretty big fella

[speckulator]

had a old 220 for about 12 yrs only thing i had to do was change battery and muffler a few times put many a mile on it at lease

Got the bike today. Awesome condition. Going to start on it tomorrow.

Seen one with 22x12.50-10 vampires on it.. but will probably stay stock

jldsc can give you more info, his cousin put this together. He can cross the bayou with it. I'm sure marsh wouldn't be a problem.
Might be a 300, but you get the idea.

Its a 220, it did float good with Trent on it(240+lbs) and yes only in Egan, isnt that where you from Johnny?????

Vampires are sick. I'll probably some on the Wolverine. Turns out the bearings are out in the trans so it might be a few days and some cold beverages before I can get it 100% fixed.

Ok, battery was shot (obviously) hooked up a new battery to it, and get absolutely nothing. No lights, etc. This battery is good, being I robbed it from one of my actual fourwheelers. Im no electrician so any help?

[weedeater]

check fuses and relays

[Shawn Braquet]

not sure if the on the bayou but key switch may be bad keeping lights from coming on, on my foreman though you can turn the lights on without the key switch on so if the bayou is the same its definitely a fuse issue

[Kenner18]

Could be a loose wire ,a bad wire or fuse. Look for signs of rats ,if it set up for awhile them suckers will eat the wiring.

no doubt, its like its rat crack

[huntin fool]

No signs of rats on the wiring, getting to the fuse is the problem. I have found one fuse on it, and it appears to be an extra.

where theres an extra there is one being used

[Kenner18]

Generally they are all located somewhere close to the battery .

i had an 03 rancher that the plastics had to be removed to access the fuses, however after removing the plastics on it, looked like if you removed the breather box you could get to them
