[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 589796, member: 4238"] The next item on the agenda was to clean up the wiring that was honestly just a mess. It needed a battery when I got it. Luckily I had a DieHard platinum and a RuffStuff battery box sitting in the shop that I had bought for the single seater but didn't use.
