Yamaha rhino is bringing up an error code 46. it is also discharging the battery in about 2 hours, when the battery gets low it does not drop the engine revs. any ideas

I would carefully go over your wiring, especially any you may have disconnected during the head gasket swap, and check for a loose ground first.

If all your connections are good, then take a voltmeter to your battery, see what it's putting out. (If you can load test it, even better). Sometimes, when a battery get's messed up, it'll start overloading and put out too much power, and burn up fuses/wires.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the insight. Itactually ended up that the stereo and lights both together were drawing too much. I removed the stereo and it stopped. "

You should measure the combustion ratio.Maybe piston rings failed.

I would think that it would be cheaper just replacing the parts that need replacing and bill your friend for it later

hi,just a thought,if you have had two sets of carbs on it and they have been tuned/balanced and still does it,then it is probably not the carbs causing the problem.check your throttle cable,check it is in good condition with no kinks or tight spots,also check it is not jammed between any other component causing a sticky spot,also,check the freeplay in the cable,you should have around a 1/4 " freeplay at the carbs,with the engine running turn the steering lock to lock,the engine revs shouldn't change..s aticky cable can cause the problem you describe.hope this helps...cheers

Replace your main fuse on the starter solenoid. That should restore power. If you are having to jump the starter at the solenoid you may need a new solenoid. Your starter button could be the issue, in that case you would have to replace the switch assembly. As for running only on high revs, you need to take your carburetors apart and clean the idle circuit (jets an body passageways) These machines are notorious for burning out there spark plug caps. The caps unscrew from the end of the wires and should OHM out at 5000. If they read higher or lower replace them.
