OK the doc has finally cleared me to get back to doing fun stuff. I hope you all enjoyed the reprieve while I was away. I am now designing a new machine, bigger, better, faster, and stronger than the old one. There is smoke coming off of the mouse on my CAD machine. Chips are already flying on the milling machine and the lathe. Parts are coming together nicely. Lots of cutting and welding yet to do. Then comes the test and calibration......... :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: :snow2: OH you can Thank ol Puc. He gave me a lot of the new ideas that I am incorporating............

Time for an update. Went to see the cardiologist again today. The meds seem to be working and the lazy half of my heart has restarted. There is still a bit of a miss in there but for the most part it is now back to running on all four cylinders. The doc adjusted the meds just like a fine tuner would tweak the carbs to get an engine running nice and smooth. The doc and I are both very optimistic that this last tweak will do the trick. It just means that I will be having one meal a day The doc also wrote me a prescription for an ECG machine to keep handy so I can monitor my condition. AND this is the third Doc in a row that has said I have the heart and metabolism of an elite athlete. I wish to thank all of you that have kept me in your thoughts and prayers. Now that we have this pretty much under control I can get back to doing things that are more fun.

I got an email that you are causing trouble again. The email said that you have nominated me for an award just for putting up with all of the trouble that you cause. I'll have you know that MY middle name is Trouble. AND I don't always share well........well some things anyhow....... First you accuse me of being responsible for all of the wonderful winter weather and lovely snowfalls suitable for a Christmas card that anyone in North America gets , Then you try to steal my name. Now I have to find more, and more creative ways to cause Trouble just to be able to keep my name for myself. If you came into chat more often you would see that even the chat system often recognizes me as the one and only Trouble. Maybe I'll see if I kin make FOG. Ya that'll work for starters.......... I just have to let some of the fog that normally resides between my ears escape out into the world........

When I look at my own page or the Venture page I do not see myself listed as a member and I can not get into the page to look at anything. OR I am just all messed up and doing something wrong and not understanding FB.

By the time you get done destroying things to find your balls of steel in the perfect size, you could just order the right size from McMaster and be done with it and save both time and money. AND still have balls of steel for another day. I have many bags of stuff hanging around the shop from buying 100 of something and need 1 or 2.

How do you jack up your Gen 1s?

Your garage is carpeted? That looks like better carpet than I have in my living room. -
Yup Bob needs more coffee........ It depends. If you converted to LED headlight, some (not all) of the LED headlights draw as much or more power than the stock headlight, so no jumpering or other changes need to be made, IF you are installing one of the high power LEDs in the headlight. IF you are installing a lower power LED in the headlight, then you will need to jumper the CMU and remove the RLU to get proper operation. If you convert the running and/or brake lights to LED, the running and brake light sensors will need to be jumped in the CMU if you do not want it to be continuously telling you that you have a bulb out. The whole load resistor thing is to get the turn signals to flash at the correct speed when the turn signals are upgraded to LED.

You can get your steel balls here. McMaster-Carr They are 9/64 Dia or .1406 Dia. Yes you will get a bag of 100, but it is only $3.75. AND you will be able to say forevermore that you to have balls of steel in your bag.

Charging system not working
Flyinfool replied to rougeray's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
The only way to test the battery is a load test. Almost all auto parts stores will test it for free. When you did the voltage test of the stator, did you do the test while it was plugged into the RR or with the stator unplugged? The stator voltage test need to be done while unplugged from the stator. the only thing connected to the stator for the test should be the voltmeter. -
I have balls of steel but they are a lot bigger than what you need. I have a whole bag at .750 dia.

In Wisconsin anything with 2 or 3 wheels is a motorcycle and you would need a MC license to drive it, and have to obey all MC laws. It is an intriguing concept, at 84 MPG. I have a 42 mile commute.....

+ one more on a trailer. Either add a wheel chock or even add a couple of 2x4s to the bed to keep the wheels from trying to slide sideways. My P/U has an 8 foot bed and still would not try to load a venture in it. Your tailgate is not designed to hold that much weight, it could bend and drop the bike out the back.

No bangin, no yellin. I have been really busy. I just FINISHED doing all of the deer processing. Got all of our medical crap down to a routine for now. Maybe next week I will have some time to PLAY a little. So far the crazy Kanuks have not found the door that I closed when I was up in the U P last month. Hopefully they wont find it any time soon. Still not sure just which one keeps leaving it open.......

Can you spin the rear wheel? while it is jacked up? Does it make weird noises when you do? When you put it back together did you miss the front spline with the drive shaft? -

Puc I hope you studied for your test better than I did. Don, to be honest I only looked at the countdown page once just to see what it was. I for one will not miss it at all if it is gone.
