  1. Normally when you turn the key on you hear a tic,tic,tic,tic as the fuel pump presurizes the fuel line with gas to the carbs. possible that the fuel line from the pump to the fuel rail on the carbs is kinked causing the engine to starve for fuel when running.
  2. As a matter of fact, the ride home from N.GA/SC M & E in Columbia to Atlanta, (Right after Muffinman worked on Carbs )there was a strong head wind. I was riding with Blackjack and WildHair39 who were doing around 90 and I was getting about half the mileage they were.
  3. I'm working on my bike today and need to remove my lower fairings and chin piece so when I do I'll take a pic and post later today.
  4. Muffinman adjusted choke cable when he synched carbs. And ever since then I don't seem to need any choke. It starts right up cold without the use of the choke and seems to run better. Does this indicate that choke might be set a little too tight. I'll recheck choke cable travel and see where it's at.
  5. Good advice I'll keep this in mind if I decide to get a boat.
  6. My 87 xvz1300 seems to run ok. Back in Feb. Muffinman synched my carbs at the N.Ga/Sc m & e. all of the carp pistons are doing the same dance and it idles smoothly right where it's suppossed to:thumbsup2: But, I'm getting Horrible gas mileage at 20 MPG. GeorgeS suggested I start a new thread and get yall's input.:backinmyday::backinmyday: So, What do you think fellows:icon_smile_question
  7. Still interested in front brake rotors for 83 to 85 MK1 venture or venture royale? I do have a set that I'll let go cheap.
  8. Here are some more resources that might be considered Russ Brown 1 800-4-bikers www.Russbrown.com Russ Brown is a motorcycle attorney who has started the national campaign for laws called: Kill a Biker, Go to Jail
  9. How about "Reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of...."
  10. I think I can also get access to Thunder Roads Magazine in Alabama as well as local chapters of Fraternal Order of Eagles and American Legion who have rider groups.
  11. I'm in, Also how about getting some coverage in Full Throttle magazine Alabama posting reward? Alabama's editor aka Fatdog 256 442-7850 fatdogg2@AOL.com Let's do a phone calling and e-mail campaign to get it in the mag. This mag also covers Georgia, Tennessee and Florida Panhandle
  12. I believe the mounting points are different. I don't think it will fit. I know that the MK11 chin pieces will not mount on the MK1 FRONT crash bars.
  13. Is this the boost sensor your looking for?
  14. Parts on the way
  15. The bumper and the front fender extension
  16. Tell your hubby that you don't want to be a Harley snob and it is against your motherly instincts to give your baby away and your not going to do it.
  17. $75.00 plus shipping for the left fairing the lower fairings a free if you buy the upper left. The lower fairings are cracked with chunks missing they would need to be fixed with some plastic replaced, bondo'd sanded repaired and repainted.
  18. No right fairing but I do have right lower that will need repairs
  19. I have a good left upper fairing, both lower fairings will need repairs, no dash panels
  20. I do have a set (l & R) that are usable and intack but have some chipped off edges not does not interfer with mounting screw holes. They are not perfect but they will get you by untill you are able to find a better set on E-bay. Let me know if you can use them.
  21. I know I do but I Think boost sensor on 83 looks different from the one I'm familar with on the my 87. Can you post a pic of the one your looking for.
  22. Sent you a pm
  23. 83 through 85 are pretty much the same and are refered to as the MK1 , major design changed happened in 86 and then stayed the same through 93 and are referred to as the MK2. However many of the parts are still them same as on the MK1. Knowing the difference is mainly just experience of being familliar with the design changes between MK1 and the MK2's To be absolutly sure you can cross-reference the part numbers from year to year. The TCI controller is one of the parts that are year specific the one I had in this parts bike is long gone. However there is a thread on here about resoldering cold solder joints to repair the TCI. The crank sensor I'm not familar with I'm sure I still have it but Please identify it further. Let me know if I can help you with any other parts. I still have quit a few of them left.
  24. I got those parts parting out a 84 1200
