81 440 Drifter getting some TLC
« on: January 24, 2016, 03:41:57 PM »
I picked up this Drifter last year and got it home in the back of our Grand Caravan.  It started and ran fine and we rode it a little.  It had a busted key in the switch so I just used the kill switch as an on/off switch.  Last thing last spring when it was time to put it away the starter rope busted so I had to drag it with the 4 wheeler to it's resting spot.  Today I switched out the recoil and found 1 of the 3 bolts busted off in the hole >:(.  After some drilling and taping I got it out without damaging the threads.  Recoil is good again, next was a new key switch.  Knew I had some and after looking in the correct box out comes a brand new one.  Now maybe even the lights will work?? It still needs plenty of TLC but I am considering taking this one to Braapfest.
