They do not work so I removed the plastic to discover that the 4 connectors (female ends) were unhooked and just laying inside the dash. My question is what do they hook into, is there a part missing? I am not sure of the brand, maybe Kimpex.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know it's not much info. ]]> Technical and How-To Articles Pibster http://forums.atvconnection.com/technical-how-articles/320580-hand-thumb-warmer.html <![CDATA['04 250 Recon-timing marks???]]> http://forums.atvconnection.com/technical-how-articles/320555-04-250-recon-timing-marks.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:04:21 GMT I am having to replace the oil pump chain on my Recon and since I had to remove the timing chain I...

I just bought a bb 350 4wd for 800$. It needs a new rear axle as the old axle and ring gear splines are worn. I also noticed that when in neutral, the light wont come on unless you find the sweet spot by shimmying the lever. once the light is lit, it starts fine.
I have found a few post regarding this, but the answer seemed to be to bypass the switch or start it with the brake on. Is there an adjustment for this? i couldnt find anything about it in the service manual, and I would rather fix it correctly than just bypass it.
Anyone know of a good place to purchase aftermarket rear axles, oem axles are very spendy.
Can the axle and ring gear be welded together, or does the axle need to float in the gear?
thanks,

I have a knocking sounds coming from the Timing Chain and is this bolt what is used to tighten or loosen the tension on the chain? If so, is it the normal right to tighten and left to loosen?

Any help is appreciated..

I would like to use my truck CB while riding my quad but have been told that getting an antenna to work well is a problem due to the small ground plane presented by the frame of the ATV, even it I ground the rear rack to the frame.

Does anyone have ecperience with this situaton that may be able to offer suggestions as to what antenna to install and what tweaks, if any, will make it work as well as possible?

Thanks
