Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the lowest rated Antivirus programs in existence. It may be free, but you get what you pay for.

Already got that covered. Talked to the PO about the overflow issue the other day. Evidently he was not aware of that fact until he did it. He's a mechanic, but doesn't fix his own vehicles. He found out the hard way who is and isn't a good bike mechanic in this town. First place he took it to screwed it up badly, so he went elsewhere. Second guy rejetted it and all that good stuff. This was about a year or so ago.

Wow. Glad you're still around to talk about it. Hopefully you're back in ship shape soon. Prayers up for it, leastways. Feel better, brother.

Jeez... Run a TOOL called AdwCleaner. The phone is seriously hating me tonight.

Holy moly. If you still need any help, Puc, let me know. I've been foxing computers for a long while and have some professional experience in the field. Is also run a full called AdwCleaner which can be found on the Bleeping Computer website. What are you using for Antivirus?

Good news, bad news! Good news, choke is now working as it should and after firing air through that carb I no longer have an overflow issue! Bad news, fuel line off the fuel valve is totally shot, fuel filter needs replaced and the FedEx man didn't leave my new valve when he was here today so I have to wait until tomorrow to put it all back together. Also: Decided to go ahead and drain the tank, and wore a good cup or two of gas. She sounds MEAN with no pipes! Before I put the air box and filter back in place, I'm going to clean and re oil the filter. I was not expecting to see a non-stock filter.

Oh, and I still had to turn the motor. Cycled the pump several times, no fuel out the hoses. Ran the motor for five seconds, torrential downpour.

Carb overflow. *sigh* I didn't have my hopes up otherwise. Can't seem to find a drain screw. Is this it? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/23/5ad7f5dc71300d10dff6948581c9b7d6.jpg

There are two more wires busted off just out of frame. I'm replacing the fuel shut off once the new one arrives. As far as the fuel issue goes, I have no idea. It's a torrential downpour of gasoline running down the shock. I'll take another look tomorrow. It only leaks with the engine on though. Not sure what's holding that cover in place, but it doesn't want to move and I'm worried I'm going to break it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to change the fuel filter while I'm at it, either. Not sure what it's going to take to change that fuel valve, but I know I can't get my hands up in there.

Looks like my leak is near the rear of the fuel tank. I have no idea how to get in there. Also, what's with the wires here? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/22/9913f52fd41678ef16c3a640a8320ed4.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/22/9f09922042313818828b3c60852fdf91.jpg

Nothing to do with the carburetors. Pouring like a river down beneath the tank. Running down the rear shock. Next question. How the heck do I get the seat off?

I just ran a stupid amount of Seafoam through it, and there is no knob left on the petcock so it'll have to be replaced.

Today I adjusted my pegs... Took it for a test ride, pull in the driveway and I've got a massive puddle of fuel under it ten seconds after I parked it. This is starting to get old real damn quick. I don't know much about carburetors and I don't know anything more than the basics of this fuel system. Not sure where to look other than the tank and lines, not sure if I want to look. I'm tempted to just put it up for the season and fix anything that even looks like it MIGHT bes out of place.

Got held up at work, had to ride home really skirting the "no riding after dark" provision. I round a corner with a cager close on my tail when I hear a banging noise, and my handling changes dramatically. I look back and I see this sliding down the road in my mirror... http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o187/sickmusician/Bike/IMG_20140815_010948.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o187/sickmusician/Bike/IMG_20140815_010922.jpg As you can imagine, I'm not quite thrilled about this... Any way to fix the bag (right side) or do I have to go looking for a new one and have the damn thing re-keyed? I'm starting to get a little bit disgusted with this constant abuse of its rider...

No idea when the previous owner had it done, and I just bought it a short ways back. Unless it's not too expensive to have done or unless I can get the tools and do it myself, it may be a while yet anyhow.

Yeah, I gotta replace the front end at some point anyway, so... When that time comes... I have bigger issues at the moment. She seems to be using more fuel than she should. Poured a slightly excessive amount of Seafoam in the tank, I'll see what happens over the course of the week. Gonna check the air filter on my day off. Not sure what else to check unless the carbs are out of whack or something. Oughta check the plugs while I'm at it.

I'm working a part time job at a nearly full time schedule. I don't have time off. Gonna request three days off for the MO course though. I want that endorsement.

It never frickin' ends... Actually road home from work in some traffic today, decided to go for a little jaunt down my road. Cross the intersection and put the hammer down a bit. Settle in and cruise, and about half a mile down the road I notice movement on the dash, so I look down...just in time to watch one of the dash vents pop out of the dash and go sailing over my head. *facedesk facedesk FACEDESK!* http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/bad/dirty-language-smiley-emoticon.gif

They oughta beat him to a pulp and then lock him up and toss the key. No excuse for being under the influence and behind the wheel. We just had a local killed one town over by some stupid girl who was high on pills and heroin. Makes me so mad I could scream myself hoarse.

Congrats, happy anniversary, and rock on!

Quite possible. I've got one on my '83. I'd love to slap the PO for how he installed it (and I know the guy, too) but I digress. One warning though, if that's the case, don't ignore your temp gauge.

Prayers up for a speedy recovery.

Found a miniscule trace of water at the elbow right off the pump. I then realized that at some point in time, I managed to dent said elbow with the guard. I promptly kicked it away from said elbow, dent, no puncture. That elbow is now on my to-do list.

I so wish I could do this! Not with the way work has been lately though.

If you happen to travel through anywhere near the Mansfield/Ashland area, be sure to wave. Drive safe and have a nice trip!
