Well i was running the XT yesterday on freshly mowed grass. Long story short i got tons of grass on my flywheel!! My question is how hard is it to take off the engine so i can put an outerwear cover on the flywheel???

3 bolts where it mounts to the gear plate, and then two screws underneath to mount against the frame. Other than that, just the fuel lines and throttle linkage. Takes a whole 5 minutes

sweet!!! ordering outwear right now~!!

 

[Guest]

Yep, piece of cake.

 

[GoffeeRedCat]

or actually the outerwear is wayyy too expensive!! nvm i think ill just do the flywheel mod!

Good choice. On a 4WD vehicle, I wouldn't recommend an Outerwears. I've seen them get ripped off or worn through by the center dogbone.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

and what exactly is the flywheel mod?

Awesome... thanks...

But why don't they just make a product that keeps our trucks from ever getting dirty? ha ha ha... I want to put my truck in one of those big plastic bubbles and have it drive around... that sounds like fun.

You could always get into boats.

That does look cool... I once considered submarines--- but I figured I'd play with it about 2 minutes and then be like "and now?"

Or if you had a runaway, you'd be SOL.

How do you get the handle through that little rope hole.

vise gripe with tape on the end's works like a charm! it holds the string while you take off the handle then install the cover, but first install the velcro around the pullstart cover, I have them on all my truck's also have the air filter cover's they work great.

I was just trying to be funny. You said "and you don't have to take anything apart!."

Thanks for the tip anyways.
