UTV/ATV mechanic on Kenai Peninsula?

[aces-n-eights]

I have a Yamaha Rhino with some electrical issues. Can anyone recommend an independent mechanic in the Soldotna/Kenai area?

Thanks!

They now only work on what they sell. They dont sell Yamaha.

That's what i was thinking… hoping to find an independent guy that knows his stuff. Thanks!

what kind of problems are you having?

'08 Rhino 700. Won't start. Last fall the rig was idling as i used the winch to pull some logs. The engine died. It re-started right off and i moved it over to the garage where it died again. This time it would not re-start. I pushed it into the garage and tinkered with it a bit, but basically it sat until now.

I have the service manual and figured out a way to have the digital display tell me any codes - there was a code for the throttle position sensor. I located the TPS but it is bolted on with tamper-proof torx bolts. I don't have those tools and i stopped there. I took it to River and Sea in Soldotna and they sat on it for three weeks and so i picked it back up.

Any hints would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Just as a follow-up… The previous owner installed a DynaTek "soup up your Rhino" ignition module of some sort. I removed it and the rig fired right up. Whatever problems i was having were caused by the DynaTek. FYI...
