Flyinfool

I know what Dan is referring to, it was another pull down In the row under the tabs, next to the "Quick Links" pull down. It had an line in it called "My Posts" and another called 'My Threads". It only disappeared in the last couple of months. It was not their in all screens. If you click "New Posts" it would not be there, If you went to the "Forum" tab it was there. I also used to use that feature a lot to find an old post that I did to link to in a new post.

You mean I may have to upgrade to using 2 fingers instead of just one????

I only use electric shavers. I have never bought an electric shaver. I am still using the Norelco my parents bought me when I was a teen just starting to sprout face hair. That would make it around 45 years old. never replaced a single part. The beard and mustache trimmer part died a long time ago and the switch had to be hot wired. but it still goes every morning when I plug it in. See how well this would fit in if there were a separate area................... Then we can get into Ford / Chevy / Dodge debates. That should be about as much fun as oil, tires, politics, religion, and dielectric grease discussions. Maybe even as much fun as 1st gen vs 2nd gen.

Just like you were prepping for paint. Every blemish will show thru the wrap.

Thank you for understanding just how this works................

You are missing clearances. In order for the bolts to go through a hole the hole must be bigger than the bolt or stud. this means that there is a small amount of slop between the stud and the hole it goes through. what you are doing is to use the axle to find the best possible location within the available slop.

OK Thanks Boss Man. I can breath again.....................

The corners are getting crowded...............

I did not say Venture, I said 2nd gen, 96 does have the same motor and driveline and was the beginning of the 2nd gen. So you are desperately trying to squeeze out that extra 3 more years until a Venture is officially old.

I had a thought today riding in to work. 2nd Gens are now starting to be OLD enough to put collector license plates on them. To get a Collector plate in WI a vehicle must be at least 20 model years old. The first version of the 2nd gen came out in 1996 (according to the history page). So that makes it official, 2nd gens are now all considered OLD . At least by me. And I'll bet it would not take to much looking to find a new old bike still in a crate buried in the back at some dealership some where. But even a really 1st gen can still on a 2nd gen. AND In just 6 more years the 1st gens in WI can start to wear Antique plates. In WI Antique plates are for vehicles that are 40+ model years old.

I found FROST on my windshield. It is obvious someone has been exercising the door hinges up there.

Naaa Works the same, just bigger consequences

Dan Electricity is really clever at finding a path to keep flowing. Does that make more sense?

There is

:sign yeah that: That would be my first guess The only other remote possibility that I can think of, and I never heard of it happening is that there would be an issue with a broken wire in the stator that is causing sparks as it makes and brakes contact. Sparks inside of the crankcase could ignite oil and/or gas fumes that will be present in the crankcase. The stator and pick up coils are the only wires inside of the engine that I am aware of. I do not think there is enough current available in the pick up coils to create a significant spark. But like I said, this is purely a WAG that I have never heard of happening. Check to be sure that you are running on all 4 cylinders. Start the bike from cold and check too see that all 4 pipes heat up at the same rate. Then check the voltage across the battery with the engine running, it should be near 14V with the engine at or over 3,000 rpm

Inner Peace during the current political campaign..... I'm passing this on because it worked for me today. A doctor on TV said that in order to have inner peace in our lives during this political campaign, we should always finish things that we start. Since we all could use more calm in our lives, I looked around my house to find things I'd started & hadn't finished. I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Bayleys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Waliuminun scriptins, an a bxo a choclutz. Yuz haz kno idr how fablus I feeeel rite now.

With the new long range nozzles, (so I can spread the enjoyment) and the new to me 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor (Stole it out of an old DeLorean I found in the bone yard) powering the Snowper Charger that feeds into the white washer, if I aim it to high it will hit London or even Paris and f the wind is right even Moscow. The velocity is so much higher now that I have to aim low.......................... And it just seems that your buddy @saddlebum opened up that back door and sent down a blast of that Canadian air that I need for mixing.

What mufflers do you have on it now. The stock unmodified ones are pretty quiet. Most people that put on aftermarket pipes are looking to make it louder. Yes there are some that go aftermarket for looks. If you have aftermarket on there now I bet it would not be hard to find someone to swap you a set of stockers for your louder ones.

My first guess would be fuel pump is getting weak. First half of tank fuel level is above floats so pump does not have to work as hard. End of tank pump has to lift fuel up to the carbs.

Yea GIVE IT UP............. Well since you asked for so you can disassemble............................ It must be time to dust off the SNOWPER CHARGER .................. Puc you better duck, your kind of in the middle.

Then you would love some of my aromas with 25% bean oil, 45% alky, and 30% nitro. Best perfume ever.

Best wishes for your mom Bob. The weatherman just said that Mathew is going to hang a right and turn a 360 for round 2 next week. BUT The weatherman also said that this cold front we have here right now that is dropping the temps here into the 30s will head on down and blow up the hurricane by sucking all of the heat energy out of it. Round 2 should be just a bit of rain maybe.

I have that job coming up soon here to. I have started to hear the tick of the leak. But I am gonna cheat. I am gonna fix it without removing the exhaust manifold at all. After doing a lot of reading on the issue, you go thru all of the work to replace the broken bolts and the new bold break too. it is a design isue that the stretching of the bolt with the heat cool cycles is stretching the bolt enough to cause metal fatigue and SNAP. There is a company that makes a clamp bracket that bolts to the front and back of the head using existing holes, and then uses a clamp screw to hold down the outer corners of the manifold. The brackets are a bit pricey so I will probably make my own from scrap steel I have already. the brackets are considered the permanent fix for the broken manifold bolt issue. Left hand drills very often spin the broken fastener out before the easy out ever comes out of the case. Especially if it was well lubed with with the magic 50/50 bullet and then use more of the 50/50 as your cutting oil.
