New Rocketta 400

[halifax]

Well I finally did it, just got the confirmation of my order for the Rocketta 400 4X4. It's going to take about 2 weeks to get here, but I'll wait

I hope the Jinma tractor doesn't get jealous?!? ;D

Well, its now Mar 9th, and the delivery should be between 2 and 5 today, even though its 3:45 right now. Hopefully I'll have it up and running before I go to bed tonight.. maybe if it shows up.

Well I finally have it, had to pick it up myself, since the shipping company forgot to put on the truck for today's delivery??

I'll get some pics when I'm done going over it.

Went through everything and actually didn't find anything loose? Kinda expected to find something, but I checked anyways. I can't really play right now since my yard is small, but this weekend I'll see how it goes....

Let see if I can post a couple of pics.. ;D ;D

Does anyone know if/how to change the speedometer to MPH? I won't be getting any speeding tickets on it, but it would be nice to know what I'm doing. The manual that came with it shows the MPH in the display but there is no mention on how to change it. I've gone through the couple of buttons, but nothing so far.

Guess not too many people view this site anymore,

I've changed out the starter oil and man did it look nasty!!

Managed to put a seat on the back for the wife to ride once in a while, and scare the crap out of her too. Put a thumb assist on, not sure how I like it yet. I also have a GPS mount to put on to help me when I take it up to Maine this winter. The In laws know where they are going, but I don't and its a lot of woods up there!!


It been great so far, I've taking it through the woods, made a couple of new paths, just for the 4 wheeler. The only problem I've had, is self induced...

I've hooked a small tree with the back bumper and cracked the back fiberglass, oopps!! I guess I'll just have to make the paths a little wider.

Manage to chase a deer through the woods, this thing will go anywhere. Even took it up the creek a bit. Granted its only 6 inches or so deep, I just had to try it.

That's about it for now

Well I couldn't leave well enough alone, had to add some camo and hide the blue.
It was a pain to put this on around all of the round parts, but I think it turned out alright.
Here's the before and after

Well, first problem, the carb drain, well its draining. Of course I didn;t have a screw driver long enough to reach it with me. Might have to take off the carb and replace a seal. I'll see the next time I go out there. Cut off the tank in the mean time.

Anyone had a similar problem?

Aubrey

[halifax]

Well I went back out to the property to fix the carb. I just couldn't get to it, so, disassemble time..

Out with the breather box, and off with the carb. The set screw for the drain didn't have any gasket or o ring, its just machined to a point, like a idle set screw. Anyway, I took it all of the way out, cleaned it a bit, and screwed it back in. So far it stopped the drain, like it should have done.

Gave me an opportunity to look around and see how things work..

Its Still going, and going..

I know I don't put on the miles like others do but I just changed the oil at the 20 hr mark and noticed that I only have 110 KM. About 5 KM and hour, whoa what a speed record..

Most of my time is in 1st heading down to the creek, or touring around the property, so I guess at this rate the tires will rot before I wear them out.
