BIG RICK Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Well i met a couple of ya but would of liked to meet more of you folks.my weekend started off badly i got to dumont thursday nite. the next day friday my wife and i had been riding in the buggy.we went over to comp and thought i would go up.I did about half way under power my blower started knocking. so i shut it down put into neutral and coasted back down the hill and checked it . I pulled my blower belt off to see what was up and i felt it clicking binding effect. so i left the belt off and drove back to camp.

SandBox_Kid Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Did you check with the guy you bought it from Mike Z? He would probably know best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG RICK Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Did you check with the guy you bought it from Mike Z? He would probably know best. I didnt buy it from mike zencheck, i bought it from a guy in arizona who bought it from mike. mike had tipped the buggy about 3 yrs ago and it sucked sand in then, but supposedly all that was fixed. its been running ok for 3 yrs. ok i guess. mike camps in our camp with all of our other sandrockets as well. but i might call him to see if he knows of anyone.

I remember when Mike did that. That's why I was thinking that he might be able to steer you in the right direction. :dance: Just trying to help. I bought my frame off of one of his buddies who now has a SandSprite VI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandBox_Kid Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I got this from a friend at work.... Hey, This is the place that Mike Z says to send the blower if you want to forward it on.http://goodvibesracing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG RICK Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I got this from a friend at work.... i called them thanks, seems as tho the dipstick in the front of the blower had been broken off for awhile and it got caught up in the front gears and mangled some of the teeth on the blower. the dipstick on the blower had been broken off before i bought the buggy. i guess ill fix that too. not a problem. WE CAN REBUILD HIM...... SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN .....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
