Been driving my m1009 a bit lately. Charge on the voltmeter usually top of the yellow when first started and after a minute usually works its way to 3/4 top of green arc. Last weekend drove it at night with heater and lights on and after a short while volt gauge down into the yellow. Drew my...
Quick question. For the past 3 winters my m1009 has performed flawlessly in cold weather. This winter I have had to use ether a few times to get it started. When I turn the ignition on the wait light stays on for 1 minute when in the past it would stay on for 15 seconds even in the coldest of...
I found that ground point you described. Looks ok but as we all know doesn't mean a thing. I will try to replace the ring connector first and clean it up and see what that gets me.
My thoughts as well. I may have to follow the grounding wire through the system and replace it all together and see what that gets me. What a royal pain this is going to be.
Yes,but,
The left rear light is very dim in the center yellow portion of the light. As if it is only getting half the current required. I need to put a volt meter on it and check for out put. And when you apply the brakes the right rear light lights up properly but the left one goes dark. Power...
Ok, so I had two of my BOLs not working. I bought a set of new lights that weren't exact for my M1009. I spliced in the new lights and mounted them cleaned all the grounds and grounding areas on the mounts. So I turn them on one at a time as I mounted each new light. All work fine until I get to...
Very nice paint job. Question for ya on your fuel can mount. Have you had any issues with the can banging the side window when driving over rough terrain? Did you mount it up high to avoid it being hit in a fender bender? I have a can and a mount I was thinking of mounting in roughly the same area.
LOL, I live in asmall coastal town in Eastern NC. About 18 years ago the yankees up north starting invading. Again. LOL. about 12 years ago we moved into a new golfing community made up of mostly retired Yanks who play golf all day long. They drive their golf carts all through the neighborhood...
Well, I got it all up and running. I put the 6707 base on and antenna, I have the cable hooked up that tunes the antenna. I finally got the speaker to connect up and it works. Got the handset hooked up and it tunes automaticaly and the antenna tunes along with the radio. Now I'm going to get my...
I figured out which way it goes on and I am familiar with the compressed(spring loaded connectors. I will check to see if the speaker end connector is locked up and not moving. One last question. Will the coaxial cable that was in my cucv, that was connected to the 3900 base, work with my 6707...
The good news is my rack was already set up in my cucv. All the power and antenna wires are run. This afternoon, I took the top off the radio and gently cleaned the dust out of it. It was surprisingly clean inside. I racked it and atteched the antenna to it and powered it up. I did not transmit...
