Decals

Forum: 

Hi Gents!
Just joined as I have at last got ride of the B*****y Surf that has plagued my life for the last 2 years and have gone back to a Fourtrak. In my opinion the best 4x4 that I have owned, and I`ve owned a few in my time.
Wonder if there`s anyone out there in Fourtrak land that can help me with some new decals. I had to remove the old ones to treat a bit of surface rust. Is it still possible to get them or am I urinating against the wind on this one? Also, I`m after a good second hand starter moter for my 2.8 TDX. Anyone got one lying around?

decals

I have seen decals on Ebay from time to time...so take a look. As for the starter motor, I do have one but she's old. What is wrong with yours? When one of line packed up a couple of year back I got her re-conditioned for £35. good as new.

Starter motor

Thanks for your reply H.
The starter motors spinning but not turning the engine over but if I keep trying it will eventually turn her over. I haven`t yet had the starter off to have a look but I am assuming that the teeth are worn on the end of the starter. Hope thats the case and not the starter ring on the flywheel. Where did you get your starter re- conditioned and what sort of condition is your old one in?

starter motors

I got mine done at a right dodgy place in Leicester at 10miles from where I live.

The one I have is off a 1991 TD (still the same I think) I removed it from an engine that had a cracked block. she has been knocking about my garage for about 2 years now.

The gear seems OK, some wear of course. I will try out 12V across her tomorrow to she if she spins.......

I will cheer you by saying I'm 100% sure the flywheel ring is NOT worn, and it is more likely to either be the teeth on the starter or the throw gear worn.

I suggest to take your off (pretty easy to do) and put some power across her to she what she does...let me know...If it is your gear I will take a photo for mine to compare for you..

Starter bolt

Hey!
How the heck do I get to the top bolt of the starter motor to undo it? From underneath or from the top?

If I remember I got the top one out by lying underniether her, then with a 3/8 socket set and extensions un-did it.

Hi, how did you get the deca

Hi,
how did you get the decals off? I've just bought a tidy 93 sportrak LE with horrible pink and grey splashes up the sides and on the back door,
it really spoils the look of it. I've heard people say to use a hairdryer or really hot water but I'm concerned about damaging the paint...Any ideas?

The hairdryer is the way to g

The hairdryer is the way to go. You want to soften the adhesive enough to pull the sticker off, then remove the adhesive with metho, baby or eucalyptus oil. Its a bit harder if the stickers are crazed from age.
