Mark, I am going to work on it this weekend. I am going to re-adjust the timing to around 12 degrees and remove the round ballast/resistor and check the wiring as it may be sending full voltage to the coil. I ordered a dual input, single outlet muffler and will have it installed once I fix the backf...

The round metal device actually looks pretty shiny and new. When engine is cold with the choke it starts from the first turn and seems it can idle for ever. As soon as you press the gas about half way it starts sputtering, backfiring & then dies. It will not start again until the engine cools off.

Muffler Replacement

I need to get a new muffler. While revving the engine it started backfiring and eventually blew the muffler wide open. Swiss army only sells the side pipe muffler and I have the rear pipe. Any ideas?

Mark, the connector is unplugged that is why I was confused on where it was located. The reason I am asking is when I rev the engine it starts sputtering and dies whether the engine is cold or hot. I just finished installing the civilian ignition kit and have also noticed that the new coil gets pret...

I am using a 24volt heater in my 710k and it is awesome. The heater was originally designed to heat small aircrafts. I removed the table and installed a bench with a 12 volt 2 pad seat heater kit (it only draws 3-4 amps). Under the bench I mounted the heater and pointing towards the rear of the truc...

I took out the gas heater and put in a 24 volt 30 Amp 840 Watt 2867 BTU aircraft heater and it works great for the rear passengers. I took out the table and put a bench with seat heating elements so now I can seat an additional 3 adults and the bench gets warm! The heater is bolted on the bottom of ...

Here is a picture of behind the drivers seat showing a 24-12v military converter hanging sideways. On the shelf is a 24-110v converter and below the shelf is a 24-12v converter made just for the CB with low noise. The switch is for the power to the CB converter. http://store.yahoo.com/lib/sports-imp...

I currently have 3 24-12v converters (35A, 20A & 15A). 1 I tapped the + from the ignition switch and the - from the body ground, the other 2 from where the heater was located behind the drivers seat. You have to use the ground from the inverters and not the body. I have a separate converter spec...

You guys have a lot of patience. I could only wait about 6 weeks and then contacted my credit card company as I was surprised to get charged without anything being shipped. Visa/MC rules are that the merchant should only charge the credit card when they ship the goods, not when the order is placed. ...

I am 6'3" and had to duck just to see traffic lights. I purchased 2 racaro type seats from eBay for $300 and only used 1 slider for each seat. I bolted the slider directly to the floor. The engine cover made it impossible to use the 2nd seat slider unless I wanted to lose 3" of clearance (...
