coil cover

[nuttin serious]

I am trying to wear out my x-terra 30 and my coil cover has recently goobbled up a bunch of sand(my swing is getting more consistant) and the dust cover has come off, leaving some sticky substance on the bottom of the coil and some sand stuck to it. what is the trade secret to cleaning the coil? I dont want to just spray anything on it..... and what will keep the cover on in the future? oh by the way. I love my machine, Chuck.

I am not sure what the trade secret is but I use a lttle soap and water to clean up my coils and then just dry them off before I put them away. Anyone else?

You might want to check that cover for cracks. It should not come off easy. Soap & water to clean that coil.

If there is something that soap and water wont take off, try some isopropyl alcohol lightly on the coil. If it is pine resin try zippo lighter fluid.

As the others said, good old soap and water should clean up the coil. Its always a good idea to remove the cover now and then to clean it out. You'd be surprised how much dust and dirt gets in and under there.

I know some people actually place the cover on and glue or caulk around the seem permanently attaching/sealing it to the coil.

The best thing i have found to keep a loose fitting coil cover on is to wrap some electrical tape around the edge of the coil. that way you can still get it off if you need to.

Hi everyone, well I have noticed my cover on the X70 not fitting as tight as it did. Just don't get the coil too slick. But eventually they will wear out and It seems like the Xterra covers are thinner than other brands, maybe just me guys.

Hi Rocker, I haven't seen you lately, good to hear from you and I hope you are doing well. I hope we hear more from you. Ok God Bless all.
