New addition to the stable, YS828 Yamaha Track

   Yep, an all beef Yamaha 828 track.  It came wounded with a bad drive system and no governor or throttle (bunge gords only to keep it going).  When it did drive it would not stop when the clutch was released.   Ten minutes to fix the drive and an hour to fix the governor and throttle.  The engine tests out at the peak of it's spec'd value.  The muffler was all rusted and that had to come off to get at the governor so it got wire brushed, sanded and painted. 

   The starter does not work.  I'm hoping it's something minor as the replacement is $800.  It fires right up with the rope so no rush on getting to the starter.  On the initial go through I can't find any problems so it's ready to challange the Honda 1132 and 828. 

   The Yamaha tracks are pretty nice to use.  Easy enough to turn and they have a neutral which allows the machine to be pushed around when not running as easily as a wheeled machine.   It's got four bucket positions and two reverse speeds that very nice with the 2 being very fast.  

    All in all a great machine and will for now take the place of my hearts desire - a Honda 928.
