anyone have any tips on how to keep mud out of
a. alternator
b. thermo fan
the thermo fan i run is a 14 inch davies craig fan and when it doesnt work its not a good thing anyone got any tips?

Stay out of the mud.

Mount alt as high as poss, rear mount rad will keep it and thermos clean.

staying out of the mud is not an option heh

Well your stuffed then!

thanks for your help guys

try to find the mud racing site - in links or google?????? they may have some ideas

i get the exact same problems

when i go in mud it overheats like crazy after a short time when the mud dries hard on the radiator

i just take 20L drum of water with me and flush it out the next morning, my alternator i also have to flush out with a hose

other then fitting a guard under the alternator its really a matter of taking water with you

This is a big problem on dirtbikes aswell. To help combat the radiators getting clogged with mud, there are fins on the front. A plastics guard with fins coming out an about a 45 degree angle. MOST of the mud is stopped by these fins, quickly dries and then falls off.

some nice ideas but water doesnt stop the thermo getting mud in it

A dozen cans of Lanolin spray. Water and mud dont stick to it.

is it a good idea to pressure wash the alternator when i get back from a trip to clean it out?

No never pressure wash the alternator or the radiator after being out mudding

the mud dry on the radiator and u hit it with high pressure and u rip the core on the radiator apart and it will leak

just hose the mud let it soak then hose it again
