Well I'll be a lop eared monkeys uncle varmint ,,,, thanks to you = I FOUND IT!!! It was hiding under my tool bar!! Right there all along !!! THANKS JEFF:sign killer dude: = I done been schooled brother:sign kewl:!!! :dancefool: Of course,, you know what this means dont cha? Now there will be NO hiding from me in the chat room:missingtooth:

,,,, now that wasn't REALLY that difficult was it ya lop eared varmint

and,, even if I just click on "Water Hole" so I can see all the recent Water Hole threads and scroll down,, NO chat room window there either.. Do you see the window there or at the bottom of the page that you are reading this on??

and you obviously cant teach an ol lop eared varmint dog like yourself new tricks cause, as I look down at the bottom of this page that chat room spot is not there :rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::rasberry::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon: ,, unless, of course,,, my not seeing that on my screen is because I am still on club probation and that missing window we are speaking about is part of my being naughty.. In that case,,,, you are correct

AWESOME PIECE OF WORK THERE SUDS !!! You and your 12 year old daughter do some fine wrenching (please tell her ol Grampaw Puc said he's proud of her and to keep up the good work spinning those wrench's:backinmyday:)!! Hope the two of you now get to spend some time out CTFW on that gorgeous road rompter and have fun making even more wonderful endless memories together as a Dad and Daughter team = aint nothing on this planet more better than that IMHO. @suds, after wearing out several rear tires thru the years on my 1st Gens I finally caved and spent the big bucks on an E4 dual compound and WOWZY WOW WOW WOW = I have been impressed!! The ONLY thing I am thinking would be a real issue with having gone E4 is that I highly suspect that in the event of a flat rear tire while on the road, a tire changer would be required to remove the E4 (aint no way that puppy is gonna be "spooned" off the rim like I customarily do).. WOWZY did my E4 go on hard!! Other than that, I really truly do believe that Dunlop was not to far off when they said "this tire will go ocean to ocean shore 3 times before needing replacement"!! A more worthy tire I have not found!! You and that wrench spinning precious daughter of yours ride safe out there and enjoy my brother!! Puc

I get that Andy and if I hadn't rebuilt a couple of both mechanical and vacuum operated carbs thru the years I may also have assumed exactly the same thing. Just remember when thinking about figuring out how to unstick the throttle on your RSV that the only means for the carbs themselves to be part of the stuck throttle issue is if the bushings on the butterfly in the throat of the carbs are stuck and, even if that is the cause of the stuck throttle = even those may come free with just a squirt of lube on the external shafts. There is nothing internal on the carbs that are mechanical = all things related to the function of twisting the grip other than those bushings are external of the carbs themselves so the stuck throttle has to pretty much be cable, grip assembly or linkage related. Now if we were talking about cracked diaphrams, stuck slides, plugged jetting or stuck floats so the bike was either getting to much or no fuel = that would be a different subject and would be cause to possibly have to remove the carbs for cleaning. Make sense?

:sign yeah that::sign yeah that::sign yeah that::sign yeah that::sign yeah that::thumbsup: Or,, just bring it over to a Vaz/Puc fixing station near you,,, me and Vaz,, we can fix ANYTHING and if we cant fix it = you dont pay = not a paying customer in YEARS :big-grin-emoticon::big-grin-emoticon:

OUTSTANDING Tuffy!!!! Maybe stick the one you wanna sell in the club's classifieds!! Aint NOTHING like a shooter that fits/feels good in the hand!! I got my eye's open for good deal on a Beretta 92F because of EXACTLY what you are saying here.. Love my 1911 but x100 the "feel" of the Beretta and the fact that it comes to perfect natural point of aim for me.. My 1911 is close but shows pointing high with no site pointing in my case... Good thread brother = THANKS FOR SHARING!!

:sign yeah that: also, if ya get in the habit of going to the opening forum thread page and scrolling to the bottom where it shows who is in chat at any given time occasionally while you are visiting the club house you can catch a Chat Session in action.. The you just click on Chat and BINGO = complete and total VR Chat interruption!! Rude? Maybe,,, but sooooo much fun to :stickpoke::stickpoke: these lop eared varmints when you KNOW they are telling club secrets and planning activities

1st things first,,, :group cheers: ANDY!!! Now some quick thoughts about your carbs. Even though your RSV (one name for your scoot) - 2nd Gen Venture (another name) - Royal Star Venture (yet another name) or The Slower 2nd Gen (what some of these lop eared 1st Gen club member varmints may refer to the 2nd Gen as ) is a completely different machine than the earlier 1st Gens, it is still a CV Carbed bike. Knowing this but having never worked on one, I have a hunch that your stuck throttle has nothing to do with messed up or gummed carbs. Because the slide movement in the carb is operated soley by vacuum and the throttle operates mechanical linkage that opens and closes a butterfly in the throat of the carbs, I would be suspecious that the stuck throttle is caused by external means. If it were mine the first thing I would do is remove what ever covers I had to to enable me to see the cable ends/linkages on the carbs. Then I would twist the throttle back and forth while looking at that area and see if I could see detect movement at the throttle cable end where it attaches to the carb linkages. If it is obviously trying to rotate the receiver on the carbs (known by seeing the throttle cable tighten and loosen while you rotate the grip) but unable to do so, I would start by spraying the carb linkages real well with some WD40 or other light weight spray lube = dont be conservative, spray it good. After that, take a long screw driver and try to lightly and gently lift up on the reciever some while turning the throttle - careful not to put to much pressure on stuff - you dont wanna bend anything. If the throttle is stuck due to the throttle plate bushings being dry, I would see if I could get to the plates thru the throat of the carbs with a long screw driver (be careful here too cause you have to push the slide open to get to the throttle plates - if the slides are sticking and you push on em to hard they can crack = spray them with a little WD too). If there is no movement down on the carb end of the throttle cable, I would be suspecious that the throttle cable or the throttle assembly itself is locked up. If this is the case, I would remove the screws up on the grip that hold the throttle assembly together, disassemble the throttle, pull the cables out of the assembly and push some WD40 into the cables with a cable luber and try to free up the cables that way. Once I got the throttle working as it should I would pull the diaphram covers on the carbs, remove the slides, open the drains on the carb bowls, push carb cleaner into each carb with a syringe filled with carb cleaner until the cleaner flowed from the metering rod emulsion tubes, shut the drains for a day or so and let em soak. Rehook the syringe, open the drains, pull the cleaner from the bowls one at a time, redo until the cleaner flowed clean back into the syringe, when its clean - refill the bowls with good clean fresh fuel pushed into the bowls with the syringe and pushed in so it too flows a little from the emulsion tubes. Slip the diaphrams/slides back in and hit the starter - no choke - to see if she fires off the fuel in the throats of the carbs. If it does and burns off the fuel, choke it and see if it will stay running. I would do all of this BEFORE rebuilding the carbs in attempt to assess the bikes condition before I put a bunch of time and effort and $ into carb rebuilds = I dont like surprises... Make sense?

No ya confounded lop eared blinder than a couple geezers with bug covered glasses varmints,,, it was over 12 inches of the nasty stuff!! Below is a pic of that I took last night and it was still snowing :rasberry: And Clyde, our new 4x4 stump pulling truck dont need no push neither,,, just lock the hubs, jam em into 4wd, dump the clutch and GET OUT THE WAY :banana: Dad gum good thing you two varmints got someone like me around to keep things on solid ground around here.. You trouble makers would probably be the first two in the wrong line for hot dogs and end up having to live on road kill if I weren't here

BEAUTIFUL as always Vaz!! Totally and 100% WOWZY WOW WOW adVenture there brother!! That Hot Dog rig makes me cry for summer !! Thanks my friend for sharing!! I got out this morning for some ride time too.. Because the Easter Bunny @Flyinfool doesnt leave eggs when he comes to visit but chooses WWW instead, I ended up having to do my ride time in the seat of my new 4x4 truck.. Also because his visit was sort of a surprise and I have already got the blower removed from the tractor and detached the plow from our new truck, I had to squish the foot of wet, heavy snow eggs Fool left by going back and forth up and down the driveway so we could get Trooper out of the garage... LOTS OF FUN and a GREAT RIDE!! Speaking of Fool,, ya might want to be careful of what you wish for. I happen to know (I am invested pretty heavily in this) that he is steadfastly working on some high temp WWW that can withstand Arizona tempts ...

Ya might try sliding a box end wrench up the shaft of the allen on those cheapy HF T-Handles BlueSky. Then hook the box end of another wrench onto the open end end of the wrench that is on the Allen to give you some extra UMPH pulling area for snapping the bolts loose.. If that dont help, you could always cut the T-Handle off and place the long shaft of the left over Allen into a socket attached to a Hand Impact. Give er a rap and those stubborn Slave Bolts will pop right out!

You got that BP thingy goin on too brother?? Couple pills in the AM and one twice a day after that and mine seems to be under control.. Perfect BP my whole life and then WAMMO = turned 60 and up she went:confused07:.. Sent away to the Guvment and got directions to Lake Wylie; https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lake+Wylie,+SC+29710/@35.1103359,-81.0900325,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x885691060280326d:0xa457121450fe8f1f!8m2!3d35.108476!4d-81.0428538 Looks doable! Really excited about the boat trip (does this boat trip include free snacks, hope so:178:),, got my tie dye hippy shirt and beads in my back pack and painted my thumb nails bright Red so the folks who will be picking me up in the cars they worked for can see me hitch hiking south. Should arrive in a week or so depending on how many hand outs of food I can find along the way.. Wish me luck and get that sea worthy boat ready to sail ya lop eared varmint!!

In the spirit of a true Socialist,, what do mean get my own map? If I cant get free directions provided for me I sure gettin on no boat !!!

You didnt miss much... Mama had her spikey riding boots on, missed a step and poked a hole in one of RBig1's tires. Fool and I ate to many Rum Balls and stirred up the chat room so bad that the Power Company pulled the plug on my house several times to cut us off. I did get to touch off the clubs full auto AK47 a couple times so ya did miss shooting that thing,, other than that,,, you really didnt miss anything.. Just another normal VR Chat session..

Yeah but cha didnt have to slip the three position nozzle controller on "Random Select Full Auto" before you pulled the trigger one last time ya lop eared WWW maniac varmint!!

Quick,, join the fun!!

What,, no directions? The Pucster dont do well without directions brother!! Please go to google maps,, find the route you got planned, zoom in a little on it, go to the URL and copy/paste a link and share it... If nothing else, this would warm an old frozen heart wayyyy up here in the great North ya lop eared riding in the warm southern breezes varmint

That @Flyinfool is DEFINITELY feeling better and is DEFINITELY on my Hero's list!! Exactly 1 foot of wet, heavy fresh Wisconsin White Wash in exactly 8 hours time and STILL coming down:clap2::clap2::clap2::dancefool::dancefool:!!!!! Not bad,, not a bad at all Jeff:thumbsup2: Now where did I put the keys to our new 4x4 truck,,, dad burn lousy lop eared loss of memory geezer varmint stuff...

Yeppers,, I have a lift table, cherry picker (the HF model with the two arms that go under the bike) and a couple of the standard Motorcycle Jack stands too and know exactly what you are referring to concerning the exhausts in the way - that was what my thoughts were on inquiring about the possibilty of you having something fabbed up for stantions.. For my Venture I use the cherry picker the most as its easiest to get around the scoot with and lifts the highest. Take a peek at this quick little vid of mine if/when you get a second and you will notice the extremes a ratty old back yard wrench spinner like myself will go to to get around the need for those stantions = maybe you will feel sorry for me and remember to include me in any update you have on stantions .. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR POSTING HERE MY GEAR HEADED BROTHER!!! Keep up the good work!! Puc

Yep,, I know it can be bewildering when ya see 237 viewers on there.. Thing to remember padawan Patch is that only a small fraction of those "viewers" you are seeing being counted are actual people.. A HUGE percentage are some kind of a "bot" (at least that is what I have been told = perhaps @Freebird or @Marcarl could school both of us, willing to learn, padawans how that works?). The easiest way to tell exactly how many actual lop eared human type VR member varmints are online is to go back to the place where I explained to you to see if there are varmints in the chat room, scroll up a little bit and you can actually see who is in the club house at any given time.. That help?

One of my shootin varmint buddies who is doing the Ruger Mini routine instead of the AR platform like myself sent this over to me... Gotta admit,, those Ruger Mini's are indeed WOWZY WOW WOW WOW cool too and these 308's definitely have a very special appeal to em!!!

Current West Michigan Hotel California weather:

What cha talkin about ya lop eared varmint,,, here is a pic of current West Michigan weather, taken just 1 minute ago and I risked life, limb and soul just to get this brother!! Can't even imagine actually going out in this nasty,, @Flyinfool produced weather to lite a grill ... :rasberry:
