[QUOTE="chesterspal, post: 129027, member: 23493"] [SIZE=5]Now that I have my M371's engine straightened out, I took some time to make a few mods. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5530.jpg"]4589[/ATTACH] First, I moved the battery from where they had it wedged between the seat and the inside wall by making a mount to secure it to the back of the frame. Now, I can access it easily to bring it in for the winter or clip on a solar panel to keep it topped off in the field. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5531 (1).jpg"]4590[/ATTACH] Adding that mount required I move the top "crash grate" out a bit from the frame. I welded two sections of 1" square steel to the back and that let it clear the battery box. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5534.jpg"]4591[/ATTACH] The fuel filler hose was an issue, as I found I needed to [B]pressurise[/B] the tank after adding fuel. I purchased a section of hose so I could move the neck and cap up next to the battery where I can access it easily. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5532.jpg"]4592[/ATTACH][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
