So just wanted to share. We received an Asv in the shop with the problem of " it won't do anything but crank." So the first thing we saw was every wiring harness was cut and spliced back together. This was the customers first attempt to "fix" the machine. So 3000$ later the harness was changed. It ended up being the pump, so I was wondering if any body else has ran into some one trying to fix a problem by cutting the harneses. Or some other craziness.

That's totally something i'd do, no fuel to the injecctors so start cutting wires :)
Thankfully i haven't heard of this, i dn't think he thought his troubleshooting procedures through very well. Hopefully he learnt his lesson.

I think he did, even though the bill was expensive. (Remember we had to change the hydrostatic pump and flush the hyd. System.) he wants us to set him up with the preventative maintenence program. Old dogs and new tricks.

It's nice to hear he wants to actually get into the maintanence. Hopefully he won't do that again any time soon.
