My 06 800….

Finally pulled old yeller out of the garage after almost two years, oil leak and dead battery…fixed both. Drained the gas and made sure everything is greased/oiled/lubed before I finally get back in the game. It’s been a few years but I think I’m finally healthy enough to give it another shot.

One of the slots on the tranny cover stripped so I put some thread lock on it, fixed the drain plug leak with a bit of teflon tape until I get a more permanent fix. Got a new Duracel ATV battery, running some sea foam through the oil right now so I can make sure it’s all cleaned out. Fired up after maybe 2-3 turns of the starter and sputtered a bit but the gas was old even with preserver in it. I ran it up and down the street a few times WOT, did some donuts in the vacant lot across the street and just let it sit an run until radiator fan kicked on, actually started to worry me cause it wasn’t kicking on until I ran it hard a few times. Sprayed down all the rubber and wiring with lubricant. Made sure all my connections are secure. I changed all other fluids before I parked it so I think they’re all fine, I just wanted to flush out the oil in case there was any condensation, all the oil had been drained after i found the leak initially. Threw in about a half gallon of fresh gas and about half a cup of sea foam, cleaned the air filter and shot some carb cleaner down the throttle body. Still have a very slow leak in one tire I’ve given up trying to find, takes months to go flat.

I’ve posted a couple of pictures!
