Drone637 came up and we got a lot of small stuff done on my Tracker. It is hard not to work on it now because most of what is done shows how much closer it is to getting on the road.
We installed the bottom two 02 sensors, and it has a much better/quieter sound. Still need to make up the tail pipes, but standing behind it you can hear that it has dual exhaust.
I backed it out of garage under its own power. I did not wait for idle to drop and chirped the tires. Going to take a while before I get used to not having a clutch (just seems strange). Did not test drive, no seat, wires still hanging, exhaust not fully supported, etc., but it can move by itself.
Kris reworked the dash wiring, and speedo now works. I had to use a different take off and motor temp now works. I need to find where the oil pressure wire is. The FSM shows it going straight to dash, and I am trying to find the connector it uses. My silicone coated connector looks to be doing what I expected, so wires will be firmly held in place.
Idled it for about an hour, and with radiator elec. fan and a hood setting on it, it will get up to 201. W/o hood it gets around 190. I still have room for a bigger fan if it tends to go higher on slow trail work.
It will creep in high range, so low range should be really good. And the desire for a slower low speed w/o always slipping the clutch is what got the mtr/trans change started. I know gears would have been faster, easier, CHEAPER, but I wanted back road gears more than trail gears, and the mtr. seemed a good deal at the time.
We cleaned up half the Garage also. Now I can find stuff that falls to the floor.
Elk hunting starts next week, and I have to get all my gears ready, so no work on Tracker for a few weeks.
