I want to fix it ASAP, but I didn't have much of a choice at moment. I'm well aware its very unsafe, and everyone should understand this is not a smart idea to get the machine started this way. I am doing so at my own risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STARTER-SOLENOID-BOBCAT-SKID-STEER-LOADER-M-600-610-620-700-WISCONSIN-VF4D-/301165020582?epid=1192736014&hash=item461ed585a6:g:vg0AAOSwPYZU5LWl&vxp=mtr Not sure, but it looks like this solenoid might be the right one. Or if I can get one locally at Napa or something? Frustrating little machine, but I'm hoping to get it running consistent and reliably. When it runs, it seem to do just fine. Actually purrs real nice. After getting all new ignition parts, and new fuel pump it runs really well. I copied a fellow member and have a "custom" exhaust rigged up to a GSXR-1000 muffler. It is way quieter than old rusted out muffler on the machine when I got it. This morning I realized that the choke was not hooked up correctly. When you pulled the choke, nothing was happening. This was the first morning trying to start machine around say 55 degrees. I have been starting in afternoon probably 90+ degree weather. So this morning it wouldn't start. Then it flooded. After waiting and trying again I realized the choke needed adjustment. After it was adjusted and waiting more it finally fired up. So the job I needed to do before the sun came up, didn't happen. By the time I got machine down to the bottom field it was too late and my bees were already flying. I'm going to try again after dark tonight. After immediate solenoid issue. Next projects is getting wiring buttoned up getting tail wheel mounted, new tires. I want to paint it so it looks decent. I need to adjust clutches, and front axle seals need replaced, but I always keep it full of fluid before each use.</p></blockquote><p></p>
