[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8796, member: 82"] Got ya. I bought a machine like that, was in a real mess but it was brought back to life pretty well. From what i was told its a flaw in the starter solenoid. The copper contactor can actually fall off shorting between the +ve and ground. This will set the main +ve power cable on fire and if there is any grease or oil it will catch fire too. As soon as the fuel line catches its all over, 40 odd litres of fuel feeding the fire. Like i said, you can get the radiator re-cored if you still have the top and bottom tanks, if not they are quite pricy from the dealer.... i got a quote for around AUD $1,500. I got mine re-cored for 600. The wiring harness can be done by hand if you have the patience. The hardest part is the panel in the ROPS but if its still there its still quite simple, worst case an auto electrician can do this. The alternator should be available non-genuine too, if you need a number i can get one off mine that may help you in your search. I don't think its genuine as its a bosch not delco which i think is the *normal* one. Good luck with your project. [/QUOTE]
