Coils in the Brats are prone to failure. If your coil has been going bad, it might cause some issues similar to your situation. Just a guess. A more thorough description of the dying process might enlighten us more. Does it just die off? Or does it cut in and out? ?

Welcome to the board. If you go into AAA, look for a black Brat. It is my old Brat and the owner had better be taking good care of it.

Yuo, sir (and a dozen others) are more than welcomed.

Why not B.C., or th Yukon, or Alaska?

Keep it original.

How are things on the East coast?

Sounds like it's ready for some real snow. Bring it on up.

I'm sorry - Is fitment really a word? Wouldn't fit do nicely?

Is the check engine light on?

Honda makes a good, reliable product, but I prefer the older Suzukis or the newer Arctic Cats because of their true differential lock set ups. I've taken mine to places I had no business being.

My back is incredibly sore. I blame subarujunkie, also.

Looks like a blast and definitely more challenging than the Eureka area in AK.

It's too bad Mudrat is banned because he made a sharp looking off-road bumper for legacies.

Wish I could be there to cook crab abd salmon for you guys again, but I'll be moose hunting instead. Enjoy.

I'd like to find (like everyone else) a Gen 2 Brat - pretty clean - with the 2.2 swap already done - again, cleanly - with a 4" lift, 5 spd transmission conversion with Jerry's kit, a LSD, and of course for as cheap as possible. FAT CHANCE!

Try Dave Miller's Auto repair in Eagle River, AK. (907) 696-2096. I know he has a dual carb motor and a huge stash of old stuff.

As for the problem of no gas, did you change the fuel filters? If it has been sitting for 5 years, there is probably a bunch of gunk/rust in the fuel and it could be clogging up the filters/ not allowing gas to flow to the carb. There are 2 filters, by the way - one under the hood, and one underneath near the gas tank.

No glass company I know of will guarantee that they will not break the shield in the process. It might be better to pull the trim, pump in some flow-grade sealant to seal the leak, then reinstall the trim using urethane. If you're insured, hit it with a rock and get the whole thing replaced by someone who will warrantee their work.

Sorry. My fault. He's still in Eugene. He keeps ingnoring my email.

Why do you guys hold this the opening day of moose season? (I know why.) Jibs, if you drive through Beaverton, stop and ask John Bloom for some money for me. I keep asking, but he's not forthcoming now for over 2 1/2 years.

Check the new FAQ sticky, There's a good write up on this topic.

I'll probably be blasted for this but... It's a 97. It's 13 years old. It probably has close to 200 k on the clock. You could invest a bunch of time and money in fixing something that will probably spring a new leak somewhere else next week. Drop in a pint of stop leak for $8.00 and forget about it.

It doesn't matter what it says once it is covered in mud.
