How it usually works

Put the sprayer on the Arctic Cat to spray weeds.
First the Arctic Cat would start but not stay
running, worked on it and got it going,then the
sprayer didn't want to work, pulled it apart and
cleaned it and then had to prime it to get it
going. Took longer to get everything working right,
then it did to spray 10 gallons.
 
I burn up a pump a year. Usually have some issue with the cooling fan on the old foreman, too. This year it was the rear springs/shocks, snapped a spring.
 
welcome to the club, at least you don't have to feel like the lone ranger. your surrounded by folks with that kinda luck. :)
 
Just spent the last hour tryin to syphon used oil out of my 500 gal tank...done it 100 time before, but gave up today. wanted to splash a few gallons on the manure spreader.
 
T in Ne, Those foreman's have a temp switch in the bottom of the motor under neath the skid plate that go bad and wont turn the fan on. All you have to do is ground that wire that comes from the sensor and the fan will run. I have heard people putting a switch on that wire to ground and they can turn the fan off and on. Me, i would replace that sensor.
 
I am sick of working "on" stuff before I can work "with" stuff.
SWMBO has a lil garden cart and everytime I went to use it both tires flat so after 2 years put tubes in. Have a old garden tractor each time I attempt to use it, 3 flat tires. Waiting on 2 tubes to arrive in mail at least only 1 tire to fill then. Yesterday SWMBO was using lawnmower and told me 1 tire off rim, same tire I aired up last week.
 
I ran power to a toggle, and put it in the fairing on the handlebars. Then ran it to the wire that didn't have continuity to ground.
You'd think the dealer would have replaced that switch when they put the motor in it. I'm told when it came back it always ran real hot. Know why now. With the bad carb I think it would run constantly anyhow.
Does the voltage regulator have a feed from the fan circuit to put out more amps when the fan's running? If it does I may want to hook that end of the wire back in.
