it broke....AGAIN

[magnethead]

well, went snow....umm..carting? I was doing donuts and having fun, i went over a hill, and i go to mash the throttle, and......















No responce. I punch it 3 more times, still dont do anything. meanwehile it's still rolling, so i wait to see how far it goes. When it stops, a mash it a few more times, dont move, so i hit the kill switch..








Nothing. engine kept running. (yes this happened before) I reached back and turned off the switch on the engine.




Nothing. Engine keeps running. As I sit there saying "why the heck is it still running?", it finally dies.

I got out, took my glove off, and stuck it over the exhaust to keep the now out, and proceeded to the house to get changed. Now to take a warm shower and retrieve that...oh, wait- the truck would get stuck, the lawnmower can't grip snow, cant push it- it's 300 feet from the house, umm...how do we retrieve it?

sorry for long message (had to make it semi-dramatic )

Do you have a cat? Take a cat and plow that thing into the ground.

That or take the engine off of a Honda mower. They work great for bikes. You'll be the first to sport the CRF cart.

Did the throttle cable come un-hooked or perhaps break?

[magnethead]

umm...we'll find out after we get it to the shop... but first to get the darn thing up here...

[RMZracer212]

No 4x4s in the household?

[magnethead]

got it closer with the lawn mower till it got stuck..when/IF it warms up we might be able to push it..

[magnethead]

nope, no 4x4's. BTW motoman, the cable broke inside the sleeve.

[MotoMan]

That's kinda what I suspected.

Can't you change the cable where it sits?

[quadfather03]

Get on it and start it up then use your hand to throttle it while you ride it back to the shop its not complicated.

[char393]

you sure the truck won't pull that out? man, that's just like...a dusting of snow.

[MooseRacing552]

How did a lawn mower get stuck in that little amount of snow?

[magnethead]

[MotoMan]

Dude, you could get that thing out with a car in that amount of snow. lol.

I would say if that cart got there, a truck will get to it with no problem man!

[magnethead]

[magnethead]

its depper than it looks- the ruts are 3 inches deep, the truck is a 7000 pound dually with open diff..

and my cart has a 4.5 PSI contact patch pressure, thats why it semi-floated over the snow.

[MotoMan]

Got a front wheel drive car around?? It will get to it.

[magnethead]

ya..my dad wouldnt dare try that..

for perspective, those tires are 22" tall..actually smaller, i was running it at 3 PSI in the rears for extra floatation

[Spitfire]

That's like...1-2 inches of snow! That dually should be able to yank that cart out no problem!

[OlSchoolFool393]

Tell Him Char That's not enough snow to even get Ya Excited in Alaska Huh... HooK a piece of string to the throttle and have Fun!
that's why I live in south Texas Haven't seen snow Here in YEARS
