The first thing I would try is to put some cleaner in the gas. The forum recommends seafoam. I might would try some Gumout with regane on the label available at Walmart. How long has it been since the valves were adjusted?

Thanks Gary, In the future I will try to be more careful of how my posts will be interpreted. I'm gonna have to join Facebook. Seems everyone but me has an account. My adult daughter doesn't communicate with me much because I don't have an account! Ha!

I didn't intend any offense to you on that post #18 for sure. I apologize if you took it that way. Puc didn't want the bike or he wouldn't have posted the link. I don't have a facebook account so I don't know what you are talking about there. Perhaps you have me confused with another Bill.

I have no problem with anybody disagreeing with me. We all are tossing out ideas to hopefully help (and entertain) the thread starter. But, when you question my engineering background because you disagree with me, that's insulting. I answered that question honestly and straightforward. Scuff thought it was pretty funny that you would question my engineering background because of what I suggested. I have no idea what posts you could be talking about. I would appreciate if you would direct me to the posts that you consider other crap directed your way this week. If I have unintentionally offended you, I have no qualms about apologizing for that. Help me understand this. Bill

That looks great!

Du-Rron, I enjoyed your posts. Keep them coming!

I still believe that the judicious use of an impact wrench or impact screwdriver if you could get a tip small enough to reach the pilot screw would loosen it to where a regular screwdriver would remove it. Drilling it out comes with risks too. It's sad but every forum has some guys who try to make themselves feel superior by putting other people down. By the way when I retired in 2013, my inferior engineering skills had enabled me to make more than a quarter million dollars a year. I'm sure a couple of genius's like you and Dingy are making much more? Right?

Sorry, but I am too far away. Shipping cost both ways would almost be as much as the unit cost.

Sometimes it's worth the financial loss if you don't ever have to see that person again!!

The National Motorcycle Museum is having a raffle to raise money. The prize is an Indian Chieftain motorcycle. Each ticket is $5.

That's an oldie goldie for sure.

An Olympic athlete has a resting heart beat of about 40 beats per minute. So that's it!! You are an Olympic Motorcycle Tourer, unmatched in all the land!!!

If it is indeed stuck, I think I would try lightly tapping on it with an impact driver. You don't have to use a BFH. Yes Dingy, I have a BS in chem eng. All of my work experience has been working in a mechanical engineering job at nuclear power plants, usually as a Mech Design Engineer, sometimes as a Project Manager, or Project Engineer. My first job was startup and test engineer checking out and getting the systems to work and running properational tests on the equipment at the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant. Prior to getting my degree, I spent a tour in the US Army where I went to school for 40 weeks to learn how to repair the target tracking, target ranging, and missile tracking radars for the Nike Hercules Missile System. I also repaired the analog computer that received information from all 3 radars and guided the missile to its target. Got to spend about 16 months in South Korea on a missile site way out in the middle of the rice paddies. The Army experience has served me well in my career.

Florida where I got my permit amended their CC law so that is not illegal if someone accidentally sees your weapon in your pocket or whatever. I believe NC is the same. You can also draw the weapon to deescalate a dangerous situation. I would hesitate to do this though since the other person(s) may be carrying and they might could legally fire on you. It's a responsibility for sure.

Have you tried an impact driver? Every motorcycle owner should have one of those miracle devices!

My wife noticed that one wifi in our area was named FBI Surveillance Van too. Our son who is a computer science graduate dismissed it saying that you can name your wifi connection anything you want and it was a joke. If there was FBI surveillance, I doubt they would be so obvious.

Things are getting scary. I saw an article this week that said the guvment is requiring banks to notify law enforcement if you take as much as $5k cash from the bank so they can investigate you as to why you need that much cash. Cash confiscation was mentioned. I was one of those people who was passing along negative emails on obamacare and I got several emails from David Axlerod and Obama trying to explain to me why it was a great thing. The Republicans made such a stink about that list that supposedly the list of names was destroyed. When you go get your medicare checkup, they ask you if you have firearms in the house. Then they ask you if you are depressed. If you don't answer correctly, they confiscate you gvns.

I was curious too so I googled it. Yep, looks like it's about 40 miles to Sioux city, the closest city. I lived in Auburn, Nebraska working at the Cooper Nuclear plant for a about a year and a half. I liked working there but I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to Omaha on the weekends to find some good bars! Not much but corn fields around the little town of Auburn.

I bought a 1998 18' Boston Whaler in 2007 with a Yamaha OX66 150. It's been fairly reliable so far. We haven't used it that much but since I am retired now, I plan to change that scenario.

Congrats for hanging in there!

Condition means everything! Seems a little high but dealers always ask as much as the market will bear.

I've only driven it home from the body shop so far and it appears to be just like before the accident. It is quiet and the steering/handling appears to be the same. The doors fit well so I don't expect any leaks. The original repair estimate was just under $4k. It ended up costing the insurance co. just under $6k plus a month of rental car.

I bought my 4 brush starter from Pinwall through ebay and it arrived quickly. One of these days, I'll install it!!!

Well, I finally got it back from the body shop! The repair appears to be excellent!
