    How do you justify a Deuce to a wife/gf?

    Map Light

    I picked up a couple of these on a local close out. LED, red, AA batteries, magnetic, flashing or steady. On steady I can stick it to the roof above my head, it projects a strong beam down but unfortunately it send a fair amount of light to the side. Maybe a little green duct tape around the...

    Signal lights

    Depending on the size of your inverter you should consider running new wires from the front battery. Fuse both sides just to be safe (minimum fuse the positive wire).

    antennae mount

    027 - .150 for no backing plate or one 1/8" or less and .150 - .312. for thicker backing plates. I did not use backing plates when I added the rear mount. The picture is from my M1009, the mounting holes were there when I bought it. Basically the top of the antenna mount is flush with top of...

    M1009 recovery with disastorous result

    Glad to hear you are both okay. I had a kid try something similar to me, he thought it would be funny to serve into me because I did not move out of his way fast enough (came flying up behind me as I was in the left lane passing another vehicle). Luckily I had room to swerve to avoid contact...

    My M 1009 Problems!!! Cont..

    It could be that the stock 24V system is currently working correctly but the damaged 12V starter no longer works and needs to be replaced. If you're confident that the starting system is stock 24V and that the current starter is 12V then you need to purchase and install a 24V starter. At that...

    My M 1009 Problems!!! Cont..

    If it was modified to start on 12V then it gets really hard to help as no one but the person who modified it knows exactly what does what. If that person is not available all you can do is get a piece of paper and writing instrument and start tracing wires and making a diagram of what is...

    My M 1009 Problems!!! Cont..

    I guess I am asking if the starting system is stock 24v or if it was modified to send 12V to the starter motor. If it is a stock 24V starting system I suspect a 12V starter motor would run for a number of starts on 24V before the excess voltage kills it. Typically low voltage will do in a...

    Antenna repair

    2:1 right now. As I read the wiring diagram the closest match to 6M is when the relay is energized. I am hoping that will get me below 2:1.

    Stupid question: Have you been sending 24V to a 12V starter?
