This came my way.
I had no idea if it worked or not.
It had good batteries, well good in there day.
Made in 2008.
The insides have many components similar to the real thing.
Opening it up showed that the lifting gear had failed.
Marked in red.
Breaking the gear(yellow) and the main drive gear, not shown.
Tested and working.
Renault Master starter decided to commit hari-kari whilst we were over an hour from home last Saturday. I managed to bump start it and get home, then got it on ramps on the drive before switching it off, then set aboylut removal.
The damned thing isn't easily accessible - you have to remove the air intake and throttle body first (which are behind the radiator accessed from below), then after you get the 3 bolts out (the easiest bit) you find there's an OTT moulding and clip assembly that wraps around the solenoid, making getting the main live off and getting the motor out if a confined space a royal PITA.
Got a new starter today, and tackled the job tonight as it was at least dry weather. Suffice to say that getting it back in there was a lot more grief than getting the swine out! But - the camper is back up & running

Today I fixed an air drill that I first took apart years ago.
It ran but the front bearings were completely shot.
It's not surprising the bearings were shot as it had been used to drill 8mm holes in concrete underwater.
I turned it into a wet core drill by adding a water inlet so cut down wet diamond cores could be used.
It worked and they installed over 100 fixings for a fish pass.
I cleaned it out and oiled it after each use.
I took it apart to see what bearings it used and ordered a new set from Simply Bearings
Cleaned and oiled everything with airline oil (Kill Frost)
And reassembled
Works a treat now.
The copper pipe on the exhaust was so a pipe with a float could be installed to direct the air bubbles away from the divers.
The next pile of bits will give me something to do tomorrow evening.

Is this a common fault, and should I get a spare now for my 250 Freeride?
I'm not a biker but I really like that bike to look at. Futuristic styling and a black and orange colour combo.

Tiny part of a huge setup, basically a routing manifold with lots of automated valves, allows product to go to and from 12 different silos to various machinery.
From what I can see it's KTM's produced in India that are at fault.
I use modified Champion plug caps now on these and replace the Bosch India spark plugs with NGK's.
You can't buy the OEM plug cap with the coil and lead (for the 125's at any rate) and the caps don't last.

fixed the old (its 30 in 2 years) quad... by making it go away. just as we get the last fault fixed, another one appears. this time its electrical. and one bridge too far.
goodbye...
oooooh. hello beautiful
a 2013 can-am outlander 400cc 4x4, with CVT low high selectable auto gearbox, fuel injection and, most importantly, shaft drive, with a proper front differential with a switchable centre diff. none of this sill mag locks for the front hubs.
registered for agricultural use, so no need for a mot and free tax.
oh and it has less than 500 hours on it.
that will do the job very nicely.
