I hate to sound so ignorant but, can you point out the float bowl and drain valve? And do the carbs need to be removed to do this? Thanks.

Sounds like the one I am talking about.

I don’t know, haven’t seen him since Covid. I think he’s touring into a hermit, won’t come out to see his friends. 🤣🤣🤣

There used to be a butcher shop near Brantford, Ontario run by this grouchy old man, I wonder if it is still around.

Leaving SC on the 4th and planning on stopping halfway which is around Chatanooga, where is the best place to stay and does anyone want to meet up in route?

Bang on each bowl with the handle of a screwdriver. If that does not work you just need to take the bowl off and make sure the needle valve seats.

Be careful, we may just take you up on that.

Seafoam didn’t do the trick, so I guess it’s time to explore a carb rebuild.

Not too many of us WKY members. I’m in Murray, make a run over here in June and meet several members from all over.

Driver

is it for the driver or passenger? spots dad

I have a backrest that I believe will fit the 1st gen Venture...it's been laying around in my garage forever and I have no use for it. Just needs the bolts to attach the mount to the bike. Free to the first person that steps up to the plate. You pay the shipping. I am located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.....you figure out the shipping to wherever you are. The box that it fits in in 19" long, 12" wide and 9 1/2 inches tall....I'm not a fisherman and don't have a scale so I cant even guess the weight. Willing to meet somewhere if not too far away.

That's why @Marcarl got into the spider. He no longer has to remember, to put the kickstand down before stepping away from the bike.

Did well over 200klms today! Went to Paris Ontario for motorcycle swap meet(wasn't worth the trip) then went to London Ontario to pickup a DVD (American Graffiti) I've been trying to get, then Princess Auto for a few things. Hopefully weather holds out and can ride to Fort Erie tomorrow for another swap meet!

I have two 89's in good condition and as long as I am able I will continue to keep them running. If I do end up making a change I most likley will go to an adventure bike of sorts. Harleys are way out of my budget and besides I am not the type to pamper a bike anyway. As long as it is sound mechanically I am happy, prferrring to ride than polish. I never cared for how the gold wing handles and the shifter location just does not work well for my foot. IMHO the bike is more suited to small people with small feet.

Get ahold of your factory fuel pump and replace the points in it. Check vent line from top of tank all the way down to the check valve all the way down to the bottom of the bike for blockage.

ok, started year with old fuel pump, checked it to see if it was running, it was functioning correctly. went for ride, shortly after starting ride started starving for fuel, came home , changed fuel pump, put new one in, ran for bout 3 minutes n started starving for fuel again. checked to see if fuel pump was running, it was not. plugged old fuel pump in and ran fine when i turned the key on . changed plug back to new one and it was dead. d___ china fuel pumps just aren't worth the metal they are made out of. is there a good fuel pump out there that isn't $200 dollars?

I still have one bed available in the cabin. Joe has claimed one again this year.
