Post subject: | First LT....questions |
Found a LT for sale that I couldn't pass up. Seller claims its a GDLT powered by a Honda 9HP. Not exactly sure if those details were true but the motor runs great and the prop seemed almost new and for the price I paid...well basically I paid for the prop and got the rest for free. I would like to add the remote throttle linkage to it and I need to add a kill switch. I also need to order some GD grease, that is, if this thing is even a GD frame. The previous owner spray painted the whole damn thing and I can't find the stamped SN so I can call GD and talk to them about the throttle, grease order, etc... So my questions are (for now...) based on what you see here, is this even a GD? It doesn't have a U-Joint, but I don't know if its just because its an older model... If it is a GD, where would I look for the SN? Would it be visible through the spraypaint? Next question...I must install a kill switch. I used the search function so I know where to get it. The guy I got the motor from showed me this boot thats in-line with the on/off switch on the motor. He said if he plugs the wires into the boot, it kills the motor. I assume I would just wire in the kill switch into the boot? Thanks a ton. Andy |

im gonna say not a GD. at least not like the 9hp i had. scrape some paint off the front of the engine, if its red under it its a honda, if its blue, black or yellow its a clone. as far as the other stuff goes you can get grease at any auto parts store and rig up a throttle out of a bike brake. |

10-4. #2 waterproof grease from NAPA, along with a kill switch and some springs for the throttle linkage. Any thoughts on that wiring setup? With a pull start, there is not much risk of me frying anything with an incorrect wiring setup is there? |

because they were the first, go devil is sometimes used in the generic sense to include all longtails, like kleenex or bandaid is for tissues or bandages. that is NOT a go devil. |
