Haspin Shake down

[94Dodge Truggy]

Sept. 8th or 9th headed to haspin acres weather permitting. Going on a test run before going to Swiss West Virginia.

If you go on the 9th Lisa and I might tag along

[94Dodge Truggy]

This is a good place to get some wheeling in as long as they have not had alot of rain. I think that you will have an even better time here learning. The trails start immediately, bathrooms are available and it is closer.

That's good to hear about the bathrooms. Cause you guys had to walk all the way to the nearest tree. ;) HA!

[scarface]

I should be there and I would think Billy and Jacob will come too

[chris_dishmon]

wish i could go but im in the middle of some frame fabbing. :(

[redcj3a]

I could possibly go on the 9th also. I would definately benefit from some supervised wheeling. Some of the recent Haspin photos looked promising.

I like the idea that it is close.

Yup....Snoopy dance. You need to get out more...

[Stang849]

Snoopy dance? :confused:

How old are you again, you have never seen a snoopy dance? Did you not watch cartoons as a child? ;) just messin

[94Dodge Truggy]

I am alergic to dogs.

[RuffedUpXJ]

Well you better not go to Haspin since those haspin dogs will get you at night.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Shouldn't be spending the night unless I break really bad. The explosions at camp and raging fires usually keep them away at night.:rolleyes:

[tjjeepjeep]

So what's the plan? Who all is going on Sunday? 50% chance of rain, too.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Leavin shop at 8:30 for haspin as long as rain is not falling at that time. I will call Pete at haspin and get a weather update that morning.

I might show up If I fix my overheating problem. :confused:

Any ideas on why it is overheating? Clutch fan or electric? Mud in radiator fins

[xj-up]

It has a clutch and electric fan. When it started overheating I replaced the water pump and thermo but, still randomly overheats. Jfiscus said maybe air pocket in head to remove temp sensor to bleed air out. Not tried yet. Might pull radiator to inspect.

Sounds like you have a good plan.

[xj-up]

I will try to work it out by sunday I hope.

[redcj3a]

Scott,

I'll leave Middletown about 0800 Sunday morning. I assume you will post up early that morning if you are advised of conditions that cause you not to go. I will PM you for a cell phone number incase I have trouble finding the park.

I too, will be watching the temp gauge. But it is a shake down ride..

Pulled radiator looked ok, I found a small crack in my reservoir. My reservoir is pressurized from factory with no radiator cap. I will try to repair. New one is $40.00

Last I heard we were on. Planning to meet at the main entrance around 10am. I see the forecast is 70% rain now. Truggy said he would call a friend in the morning, and if it's raining would post up if he wasn't going. Figure we'll check before we pull out here around 8ish (I have to get Starbucks on the way ;)). Hope to see you tomorrow!

[94Dodge Truggy]

So far the rain that hit haspin was just enough to knock the dust down.

[xj-up]

Yes, I live in Batesville, Indiana about 15mins. from Haspin. It sprinkled but thats it

[xj-up]

Looks like rain in morning but, clear by noon

[94Dodge Truggy]

Rained all night at haspin :eek: and is raining when I talked to pete at 7am. Not good! Gonna have to sit this one out today. May take just the quad out though.

[tjjeepjeep]

Bummer! Thanks for the update. Looks like a day at home instead....

[redcj3a]

Rained here hard for 3 hours overnight. It's starting again now.
I'll llok forward to next time.

check throttle position sensor if it is bad it will make motor run lean thus run hot
