[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 62889, member: 7905"] Tightening the screws on the carb did stop the fuel weeping. I like those kind of fixes! Yesterday I replaced all four bucket tilt hoses. Of course it started snowing as soon as I got started but I keep everything covered and sealed so no hydraulic contamination. But when I was starting the machine up later - I noticed some sparks arcing from the choke nob to the ROPS. That's right over the wire harness to the control panel so I guess I've got a short. As I've been working on this machine, I've noticed that most of the wires are REALLY degraded. UV hasn't been kind to those 40 year old wires. So I'm going to re-wire the whole machine to avoid big problems (as in FIRE!). Shouldn't really be hard. I've already charted out the harness and individual wires color codes and connections. These early machines don't have a whole lot of electrical components. I'm going to document the process so other 600/700 series owners can benefit. [/QUOTE]
