Here is your mix info. 9 yards would be a lot for even a pro working alone. It sounds like time for a M & B & E. On second thought it might be cheaper to hire someone vs feeding all of us.......

I hope everything goes well with the doc. With winter coming it might make it easier to behave and not jump back on the bike to soon. You will just have to cage it to any local M & Es, since you'll have nothing else to be doing.

Take a close look at the fuel, If there are any kind of chunks of anything in it then it has gone bad. I have seen fuel go bad in under a year and I have seen 10 year old fuel that was just fine. Your chances are better if it was never opened.

2006 Venture electrical problem
Flyinfool replied to Sylvester's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I think you are mixing up tests or I am misunderstanding your post. 1. Pull all of the wires off of the positive battery terminal. 2. Connect one lead of your ammeter to the battery positive and connect the other to ALL of the wires that cam off of the positive battery terminal. 3. you should be seeing the 0.0677A that you measured before. 4. If there was more than one wire connected to the battery positive, then, while watching the meter, disconnect the wires that were grouped on the bat pos one by one. you will get to one of them that will cause the meter reading to drop. 5. The wire that caused to meter change is the one that has the draw. 6. Once you have identified the wire that is causing the draw. hook it back up to the meter, you should be seeing the draw on the meter once again. 7. IF that wire is for an added accessory, then you have your culprit. 8. IF that wire is the wire that feeds the bike electrical systems, then go through each fuse panel and pull out the fuses one by one watching the meter. When the meter drops you have identified the circuit that is causing the problem. Let us know which fuse caused the meter to drop and we can then troubleshoot from there. -

The kicked up stone punctured the plastic elbow that goes from the water pump to the thermostat. The chin will protect against that.

If it really fully scaleable, When will Yami come out with a Venture WTF???
-
Is it to late to put a stop payment on the checks that the Warden gave him?
-
As far as the chin goes, I have not noticed any difference whether it is on or off as far as cooling goes. What I did notice was the hole in the cooling system that was made by a stone that would have been stopped by the chin had it been there.

I went thru all of my boxes of Cox stuff and did not find an .010 head. Sorry. But I did find some treasures that had been MIA for many years.

A draw of .0667A or .0244A is not going to pull a MC battery down over night. The bike battery should be able to sustain a .0677A load for almost 2 weeks and a .0244A load for a month. You have something else going on if the battery is dying over night. -
My mother in law is Irene. Yes I have been calling her a blow hard.....:duck: I may need to head into the eye of the storm for a little calm.

Also look up Ramapo fault line since this is most likely the fault line that just moved. So much learning foe one day, I'll crawl back in my hole now......

That wasn't an earthquake. A caster on my chair broke and I fell over............

You can still buy Aero-Gloss Dope at most hobby shops. A 5 oz bottle at the hobby shop will be less than the cost of shipping it. I noticed that you had a Jet-X motor too. the fuel pellets may not be good anymore since they are just in a blister pack on paper. but that fairly clean unopened package may have collector value even with the price of $0.60 written with a magic marker.

Yup, 6 volts to a glow plug will make it act more like a flash bulb. If the plug was on the engine when you did this, make sure none of the pieces of the plug element are still in the engine. Depending on where the piston was the debris can fall all of the way into the crank case. There is no room for wear on that little .010 engine, the piston to bore fit has a tolerance of only .000006 (6 millionths) of an inch. That cute little engine runs at around 30,000 rpm. Yes the number means that the engine has a displacment of 0.010 cubic inches (0.16 cc). The larger engine with the prop is a Cox .049. The rod for the rocket launcher is a 1/8 inch Dia x 36 inches long music wire available at any hobby shop, or you can still but the "real" launch rod that has a joint in the middle so that it breaks down into two 18" pieces. The other parts of the launcher are more decoration. Ah Yes, tissue and Dope. Brings back some foggy memories from a long long time ago. Some of those engines in the pics may have some good collector value. I'm still looking thru some old boxes for an 010 plug. I know that I do not have the whole engine anymore. I sold that with the airplane it was mounted on.

This is all just a nightmare. We all know that if there are no pics, it didn't really happen....... So just what work did he get for?

Eat another gallon of ice cream and the seat will stay on just fine.........

With all of the new micro radio gear that is available I was thinking of building a TeeDee .010 powered 3D airplane. I have to look in "The Box" to see if I still have any parts for an .010. Cox is still around but since they were bought by Estes they are not what they used to be. I have always had a fascination with really tiny RC stuff. Which is really weird with my lousy eyesight and polish sausage fingers.

Another thing that could be different between now and what you remember is that many roads are now grooved. There is one stretch of highway that I ride every day and the road surface makes the bike wander. At first I was always trying to correct it to maintain a straight line but that only made it worse. I was checking all kinds of things on the bike to figure out what was wrong, never found a problem. I have learned to just let the bike deal with it, the bike seems to know what to do. It means that the bike has a slow weave back and forth of about 6 inches or so. It only does it on this one 2 mile long stretch of road.

There is a possibility that a previous owner has jumped the CMU in preparation for LEDs.

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls. Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ....... a Congress! I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!

It is getting really crazy out there. Yesterday a semi started to pull out from a stop sign from my right, he was making a left. My dual BadBoyz did get him to slam on the binders to leave me enough room to scoot by in front of him without leaving my lane. Actually I was on the horns by the time he moved 2 feet. But all I could see was the back of his head cuz he was only looking for traffic from his right. Does anyone look where they are going anymore?
-
Or just move to a city with a less popular name.....

BMI is BS. At least that is what my doc says. My doc said that if I ever hit my recommended weight, I had better have all of my funeral arrangements made. But then on the other hand he does still say that I should drop 20 from where I am at.
