Winter Tip...

jiminpa · 12-08-2010, 10:49 PM

Thanks, I do like that pix too. To make matters worse, I had been needing to replace the belt on the starter, getting worn and starting to slip. Sooo, when I went to start it after digging it out, all that it would do was spin the belt because the rubber is now cold and hard.

The cherry on top is that the box on the back blocks rear access to the motor so tightening the belt is a PIA when it is cold (18 now) and snowy. I should use that picture for a profile pix till spring. I better hurry up with all this outside stuff before winter really gets here. I am right in the middle of that Lake Erie Snow Belt and we will get lots more before spring, before you know it, that +18 will be -18 and we will be getting another 2 foot of snow. Everything outside will just be 3 times as hard to do.

ChevyRacing75, I should print that out and put it up in my garage, but, I'm thinking my wife would start looking for the girl...

I'm in Western NY just west of Rochester on Lake Ontario,we've been getting pounded since last Friday!Close to 3 foot in places.My cart sits out year-round,I just go out,jump on and drive away.The best thing is preventative maintainence.Coat all terminals with a good commercial-grade coating(3M makes a good one).Put some Marine Sta-Bil in the tank.Mine has been fine the past 2 years,and its outside right now.I fired it up the other day just like it was summer.It sat for 3 months last winter,with no start-ups,fired in about 10 seconds and never even hesitated.Hope this helps
