    Are you sure? I have heard that other things like a bad stator can cause the same symptoms. If you're guaranteeing this will fix the problem then I will definitely contact the owner.

    96 XP No Gauges Work

    Any step by step instructions on how to do it? There’s a hundred wires and some are the same color along with 10 different connectors I’m kidding but not really. So far I tested the black wire in this big main connector to the gauges continuity from the negative battery terminal and got continuity

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    Went back out again and it beeped me every time I tried! After running on a hose for a few minutes it is giving me the overheat alarm even though the engine isn't even remotely warm. Wont start back.

    Now my beeper issue is back. I thought the loose ground terminal fixed it. Yesterday beeped at me every time but today I can't even get it to do it once....

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    I did not. Just recently made a pop off tester. So if I can’t get it fixed I’ll look at that next. Isn’t the sludge from the exhaust the oil caused by bad crank seals? It’s just straight oil it’s running out of the hull fitting, that tie down on the end of the trailer bunk was silver but it has...

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    I see now, never heard of that before but it definitely makes sense. Not sure if I need it or not but I will think about replacing it.

    What causes them to leak fuel? They’ve just been rebuilt properly.

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    here is a video of it running. I think I have bad crank seals because my oil tank was half empty after just a week and a half of sitting. All this oil came out when I got it to run.

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    How could it not be cleaned? It’s three holes... soak in some chem dip and then blow out with air compressor and would be good as new.

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    Yes, oem mikuni. Needle and seat also. Fuel lines and filter. Also blew out fuel selector valve but never took it out and cleaned it. The one thing I didn’t do was check the pop off pressure.

    Not sure what the brushes are. I did rebuild the starter with new seals and commutator as well as terminal. will start investigating the fuel system later tonight.

    96 XP Wont Start... Kills itself as soon as it cranks over?

    Okay so I got the new battery in today, BEEP BEEP then fired right up. ran for a second then died, put lanyard back on no beeps again. I checked all my connections and found that one wire that hooked to the negative terminal on the battery (it ran to the black e box by the battery) was a little...

    96 XP No Gauges Work

    Are there any aftermarket options? I thought about making a carbon fiber sheet and finding some other gauges, might just go simple with battery voltage and speedometer. Has anybody ever done anything like this?

    96 XP No Gauges Work

    On my 96 XP I picked up none of the gauges work, no lights or anything from the multi-function, the VTS works but the gauge doesn't, and the speedo wheel isn't locked up or frayed but haven't tested that gauge either and I am assuming it doesn't work either. Is there a reason none of them would...
