    [ame=http://www.amazon.com/A-O-SMITH-FDL1076V1-Motor-Blower/dp/B000CGDPOK]Amazon.com: A.O. SMITH FDL1076V1 Motor,3/4hp,D/D Blower: Home Improvement@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/11vp%2Bc3tyfL.@@AMEPARAM@@11vp%2Bc3tyfL[/ame] This is in stock You may want to spend the extra $20 for a new capacitor. A bad cap can take out a motor, a bad motor can take out a cap. You said your motor was smoking. That is usually either a locked rotor where something was preventing it from turning or a bad cap that could not get it started. The Amazon goes to Zoro Tools, Zoro claims to have both the motor and cap in stock ready to ship. for less than grainger wants for just the motor. You can use the price diff to get next or 2nd day shipping. Since it is coming out of IL it shouldn't take long to get it to you.

    This is a very common issue. Depending on mileage, you likely just need to replace the spring. That poor spring is 28 years old. You can get the upgrade spring from Skydoc_17, he will also have the gaskets and if you need them friction discs and steels. The thickness of a new friction disk is 3mm (0.118 inch) and a worn out one is 2.8mm (0.111 inch) the only way to know for sure if you need new is to measure them. If it just started slipping you might be OK, if it has been slipping for a while and you have been ignoring it, you might need a whole clutch. If this is your first time in there, expect it to take about an hour. Once you have done it it takes less than a half hour, unless you have help, then it will take exponentially longer....... You will need a good, small torque wrench that goes down to 6 lb/ft.

    Just another good reason to NEVER wash the bike........

    It is possible for a filament in the bulb to break and short to where it still lights but just not to the correct circuit. The flasher still knows it aint right.

    And even that will still outrun a 2nd gen........... ..............especially going across a farm field........

    There is a real good chance there will be some at Dons MD 2013 and the 2013 international, and if there is one, 2013 WI MD, or any other time I get a wild hair...........

    With the heat that has been around they may just be charging a premium price because they are so busy and working overtime. There has to be a parts supplier near you that you can get a blower motor from and do it yourself. Its not that hard. Go get the model numbers off of your furnace and look it up on the internet. then you will now just how much hide the tech is after. It sounds like you (and everyone in the area) are being taken advantage of just because the heat is unbearable without AC.

    I can take a hint.........

    That's only a baby. You baby killer. But I'll bet it is nice and tender next to some smashed potatoes and gravy...........

    Couple of ideas. 1. The oil level should be no higher than the center of the sight glass when on the center stand and on level ground. 2. The engine and transmission share the same oil system, there is no separation between engine and trany. 3. On the right side where you describe is the reservoir and master cylinder for the rear brake. Are you sure it was not brake fluid leaking?
  16. Flyinfool
    Now you just need to do the rear brake and then you can say you are ALL done.

    Sounds like fun. I might see you at both Dons MD and the International. Sorry bout the trailer though, I was planning on winning that. But since If I win it it will be titled in WI so that means it does not need tags and I would let you use it for your stay. See how that works out.....

    Need to start stocking up. I always get nervous when there are less than a few thousand rounds in the house......

    Just don't grease that U-joint any more. In a few years it will stand straight out for you to make things easy to get the shaft back in........

    If it is a head gasket that means the coolant is going thru the combustion chamber. Pulling the plugs will tell you which cylinder, it will be the clean one. If it is leaking into the cylinder do NOT start the engine. if there is a puddle of coolant and a different cylinder fires first it can hydro lock and snap a connecting rod. That happened to someone on here not to long ago. Also if it is getting into the cylinder you are probably getting some to leak into the oil, not good for the bearings.

    CAUTION, Killer Tweety bird!!! Glad that there is nothing worse than what a hose can fix for you and the bike.

    Yup here to. Monday I paid 3.32 for gas and today I paid 4.03. It went up 0.69 in 5 days and it ain't gonna stop going up any time soon. Then on the news this morning the price of OJ is going up because there is a tropical storm SOUTH of Cuba heading west toward southern Mexico, but it MIGHT, MAYBE, POSSIBLY reach Florida?

    Good luck in a new career. Talk to some OTR truckers, there are a few on this site, to learn the good the bad and the ugly. I know several CDL holders, they have told me that if you get a CDL, get the hazmat cert also. A driver with a clean driving record, drug free, and a hazmat cert is a very rare bird and highly sought after by the trucking companies. I just read an article that some trucking companies are starting to use hair samples for the drug testing. The current drug testing will only show if you used in the last week, the hair will show if you have used in the last many months. Even if you have been in the same room or just downwind with someone smoking drugs, you can now test positive wether you have used or not.

    The battery should have 6 cells did you miss filling one?. If it really only has 5 cells then it is only a 10V battery and will not work on your bike. A picture of what you have would be most helpful here.
