Exclamation more helix/LTZ stories...

#1

nothing really, we just wanted a nice helix and the ones there were "a couple of days (10 months outside being weathered)old'', seriously,then they went back to work on the best one they had(it was not silver more like brown)and they took it to thier shop and ''fixed it'' because the seat belt wouldnt pull out. once they got that fixed they were gonna start it up for us ....... the tim guy couldnt find the key..... so he finally found a key.(we were sitting in the nasty rust monsters for hours) woooooo yea ! it got better! ....SPLAT! ......yea right, it wouldnt ever get better . so he stuck the key in the ignition and crick? crack! crack"? nooooooooo we sat here for hours and hours for nothing!?!?!!?! this made me mad ,very,....so we left with an empty truck bed errrr.


the next day we went to another tsc wooooooohooooo allll the carbides ,HELIXes ,mini bikes ,dirt bikes ,mules ... the best section of the whole store.(all indoor)
wait no, the best section was the two helix out of the box part of the store yesssss
so i got the newest model loaded it up to the truck bed , shut the tailgate and drove off grinning ear to ear what a great day

thats the story of my helix

wat a relief


#2

so we hit the other side


BANG!!! POP!POP!! DING!BANG!!

I HAD NO IDEA WAT WAS GOIN ON!
(we were rolling over thats wat was goin on dip stick)



o shivksduz b

the helix was in the air about three feet , but tilted 90%

LUCKILLY when we landed my drivin skills came in handy

my dad had tought me how to counter steer when we got the LTZ like 6 years ago lol

ZOOM! i turned to the right quick as lightnin


i felt like i was tom meents drivin max-d

we were safe my cousin got the crap scaredout of himlmao








so we went to the pit and checked out the helix; not a nick!

so then we looked at what heppened :we had jumped and flung up a five freakin pound rock and thats what had turned us 90%

o wat a day


this was the day that the race was sopposed to happen

I bought a Helix from TSC today. It runs good with one major problem.
It stops intermittently. Just quits like it loses electrics. It will start right after teh unexpected stopping.

THE HELIX ROLLOVER!!!


IT was a party a party were you could get drunk if you wanted
no one did thank god !

but it wasnt my party it was my dads annual blue gill fish fry
JON brought the stuff..

he drank most ov the beer
LOL

so jon wanted to take a ride on my helix

EVAN: NO!!!

JON: yes or ill have your dad give it to me

EVAN: MEGA NOOO!!!!

JON AND HIS wife got in but i forgot to tell them how the wet grass reacts to the tires

the first turn was made by misty(his wife)

the spun around a few thousand times

JON: hey misty let me drive

MISTY:alright

they switched

igot on the LTZ to tell them the news

i was rippin up the yard trying to find them

turns out they were tryin to catch me!!!

jon tried to scare misty by doin some drifts
well it worked

the helix rolled infront of me right as i got them to slow down (the driver/passenger weren't wareing seat belts)
i was mad as beep

jon hurt his shoulder and misty had a mild con cussion


.................THE END..................................

if youre new cart stops intermittenetly, you have a ground issue. one of your ground wires isnt properly attached. PROBABLE CAUSE.

Buggy master, im simply asking because im curious, why would it be a carb issue, if it just dies, like usually the carb will atleast go back to idle or something like that. it doesnt usually die mid-ride, it will die at idle, but from the sounds of it his is just cutting off during riding. maybe youre right, i really dont know, but it sounds electrical.

plus it starts again right after stopping, i say electrical beacuase their is probably a ground line coming loose over bumps or whatever, causing it to cut off, then when all the bumping stops it allows the wire to go back to "no stress mode" so to speak, allowing it to run again, just until it is jostled out of place...again.
