starter motor problem

Forum: 

i this is my first posting, so i!d like to say hello to everyone, i have owned
7 fourtraks in the past, & never had any problems realy. till now, i think its the starter motor, when i turn the key the lights come on as usual, then
a bit further to start her up nothing happens, the lights dont dim,so i dont think its shorting, if i put her into gear & rock it, it will start, "sometimes" it also seems slower turning over compared to my preiveious

Off road / On road

Forum: 

Hi everyone, just to make things clear to me, I have a Fourtak Independant with auto locking front hubs. Does this mean that when I need to use 4WD to tow a trailer out of a muddy field, I then need to stop and reverse the vehicle and trailer once on the tarmac road (not an easy task on a main 'A' road)to change back to 2WD, or can I safely carry on in 4WD for the rest of the journey without causing any damage to the drive chain?

fuel drain warning light, what does it mean ?

Forum: 

hi all, tonight coming home, in the dark from a shopping expidition i had TWO warning lights come on, happily the motor kept going LOL.

The Fuel Drain Light and the Charge light came on, seemingly together, and stayed on for the rest of the jopurney !.

But what does the Fuel Drain light mean please, i can see it will going to the doctors very soon !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Forum: 

Just joined today having browsed the site, and i have to say what a well put together site it is.
Just bought a 1990 Sportrak with a genuine 34,000 miles on the clock (belonged to a old chap who didn't go out a lot). Is there a dedicated club for Sportraks? Where is the best place for bits? Where can i buy cool accesories? I'm sure i'll think of more questions, but thats it for now.

I now have some driving lamps fitted, but they need to come on with the main beam ...

Forum: 

hi all, further to me having crap headlights, i have now fitted some "driving lamps", at the moment they are wired directly to the battery through a switch, I do appreciate they should go through a relay but i couldnt, truthfully understand the wiring instructions (LOL), of course they should only be able to come on when main beam is switched on,

So my question is this, how can i easily connect the driving lights up to the main beam, i can then remove the driving lamp switch completely.

Fair price?

Forum: 

I intend to buy a fourtrack as I'm convinced it will 'do the job' regarding my vehicular requirements!
My local 4X4 dealer has a very nice looking J plate 2.8 TDX with 116k on the clock. As I say, it is in super condition. Price? 3 grand. Is this about right? I can't find any guidance on anything earlier than '95.
Some help will be appreciated.
