Installed the new volt meter yesterday, the Predator doesn't seem to have a large charging system and the new gauge seems slightly off, but I will hook up an ammeter because so far no luck figuring what amperage system it has.
We took turns driving it around the yard, first me pretty dang hard about 15 minutes with the lights on until it ran out of gas yet again on me ( that aluminum tank is proving a pain for now, the engine is definitely not a fuel sipping vanguard) and then had dad drive it around a while. The main reason for the test was to check the heat factor off both the engine and the exhaust/body, the hottest point of the body read 128 degrees so with one small heat shield mod that seems it will be good, however without fully hooking up the brake fan ( switch in which was off and no hose yet) the brakes started smelling and getting hot so we stopped it. This thing is damn peppy and should make for a joy to drive, and we haven't even touched and screws but lowered the idle screw.
Today got the brake duct adapted to the low mounted Predator and a new clamp should have that cured.
We bent a new backrest out of conduit that may or may not reside there, also screwed down the body band made from the cut out sections of body band from ROPS installations.
That's it this week.
