Hmmm. I can't believe nobody lives near you. Hopefully someone will chime in.

Good morning. Happy Thursday. Looks like I'll be drinking more whole milk than 2%. Thank God I am also a meat eater. We are back to winter temps once again. Windchill is at 10 degrees. No ride for me for a few days then I'll see. Have a great day!

I am way too scared to ride the bike on F the 13th. Not at all ashamed to admit that.

@N3FOL I will!!

That would be great.Thanks

I just used the fuel line segment that came from the petcock and looped it back into the fuel inlet at the back of the carbs. Removed the rest of the fuel line and the pump. When I get a chance, I'll take and post pictures.

I got in 80-90 miles today.

I've heard a bit about this before. Did u just remove the pump and join the inlet and outlet hoses together or reroute the supply line directly to the carbs?

Same here...not much riding this winter season not like the previous winters we had. I don't think there is much chance for me to ride for the next 3 days, but Saturday is a tad promising. If mother nature cooperates, I am simply just going for a quick spin on both bikes. Nothing more. As for Friday the 13th, I am a very superstitious person. Always ride with caution.

Haven't been out this winter like I normally have! Mostly because mother nature can't make up her mind ! Either too cold,rain,snow or too windy! Also Phantom Wife! Hopefully will be able to ride to Friday The 13th in Port Dover Ontario(around an hour ride) There are 3 Friday The 13th this year!

Down here one day I am riding in a t-shirt, next day I am out all bundled up! But ride I do.

Thanks for the info. I"ll have a look at the points before riding season.. Cheers

I inspect the points when I do my Spring service. If they’re showing wear I replace them.

Yes, you need to solder one connection. Watch this video.

So for now, the fuel pump on my bike is working fine. What i'm thinking is to get a set of points for the pump in case of trouble. Looking at K+L 18-4615 on Amazon. The question I have is can they be changed out if I"m on a trip and it fails? Do they require any soldering of leads or are they a quick change with with a few tools that can be done on the side of the road? Cheers

Good morning to all! We are supposed to have good weather today, so I just might be able to rinse and wash the truck. Enjoy your day.

YOU GOT THAT

Hello Venturerider community. Have a Good night and patiently waiting for rain to come by Friday and Saturday to wash off all the salt and grime off the road.

Good morning to All! I am back to what most adults do this week. Back to work! Have a great day.

it might if it wasn't diluted.

I thought carb cleaner would damage the rubber seals and the fuel needle tip which is rubber usually.

Nah, 1 can. Warm and cool engine 4 times to get the cleaner to soak.

so you need 4 cans of cleaner?

we rode about 100 miles on Dec 26, 72 degrees. we just followed the front wheel through some back roads
