I too would like to hear about the scooter side of the tow pack. On motorcycle board they aren't popular but, they are heavier and there weight is higher. There could be a lot of differences include that they are legally called trailer/trikes here. Because they aren't trikes but more of a mounted trailer. The hitch attaches in the middle instead of the tail end and some of them come with large racks to carry.

I have never tried a magnet but about 20 years ago Wisconsin passed a law allowing motorcycles to go through the red after a couple light changes.

I agree with Fiam and here I can get them at auto supply stores and farming stores. They even have a small air horn if you wish.

Hopefully I will be able to join you guys come spring. Right now I have medical bills and some to the county. It's been 5 years since I had to sell my '98 VF750 Magna Honda.

To much oil
by: richardv - Oct 25, 2016 18:32:38 GMT -6
Post by richardv on Oct 25, 2016 18:32:38 GMT -6
In my youth I used drain oil from a trucking firm for chain saws, tractors and other stationary engines. Latter for snowmobiles and my scooter. When I was old enough to get a summer job the government made it illegal for the trucking firm and auto repair shops to sell old oil to individuals. Only to refiners.

My older brother has had on of those inversion tables for 10 years and loves it. He says it even takes care of headaches. He said the chiropractors didn't help him much.

Along with a new battery get yourself a Battery Tender maintainer. That's a little charger that only puts out when the battery needs it then it shuts off. Unlike a regular charger it will not overcharge a small battery. I had them on all my motorcycles and the tractors.

It sounds like a worthy change. To bad they didn't see that telling us about it was worth the bother. I would prefer 13 wheels that can take automotive tires and a big change in the deck. Also a front fork extender like the motorcycles have.
Oh well.

It not a good thing to have the car running. The cars charging system has too much output for the scooters battery to take and it will damage it. It's even dangerous on much larger motorcycles.

Sea Foam
by: richardv - Sept 28, 2016 4:27:54 GMT -6
Post by richardv on Sept 28, 2016 4:27:54 GMT -6
Mine had lights and an electric lifted snowplow, along with radio, so I needed the alternator. Otherwise the ignition was a magneto so I could also crank start it.
Oh yah! I do use Sea Foam in my truck and snowblower frequently.

Those old tractor sure are reliable. My last was an '52 Allis Chalmers C and I used "gas" made by a local farmer. I put on a 12V alternator and battery so starting wasn't an issue.
