Atv stereo

I need some help. I built a box for the front of my Honda rancher 420 and I put a stereo in it. I have the yellow memory wire hooked straight to the battery then the red 12v wire and the ground connected to a 12v plug to get power from a 12v acc socket. When I unplug the 12v plug I loose my memory. How can hook it up to keep my memory but not run my battery dead?
This is my first stereo installed on atv. Any help is apprecited.

FourTrax TransPlant

Newest Project : being a FourTrax 300 Fanatic , I want to keep it in theme , I have 2 EZGO WorkHorse ST’s with the 350cc Kawasaki gas engine and variable pulley belt drive set up , the second one has a cracked block and I have a Honda TX300A shat drive engine , want to put the 300 engine into the cart and want to keep it shat drive , there is a guy on cart site that turns the 300 engine sideways and builds a sprocket holder adaptor to the output shat , a 250/350 rear end would be sweet but it is too narrow , could start with the ring and pinion housing and build , I have seen CoolPool’s thread on splicing the the bike back end to the cart , but want to keep the Frame as it is set up with a dump bed ———————any ideas on how to make this work

1990 Honda 300 trans/clutch

Hi! New guy here. Have a 1990 Honda 4 wheel-drive 300 trx, been sitting awhile and when it goes into gear it jumps, adjusted the clutch and is some what better but not a smooth transition. I have it on block and in neutral the wheels don’t free-wheel, they all turn when one turns is that because of the centrificle clutch or do I have a problem? When the engine is running in neutral the wheels don’t move. Just a hack at this but can’t afford a mechanic and I like to work on stuff.

Why on blocks. After rebuilding the carburetor and some electrical repairs to get it running again it didn’t move very well. Breaks were frozen-up, removed the master cylinder and that loosen them, need to check wheel cylinders and make sure they are OK, too.

Thanks for the help!
