Don't have to send it, just bring it with you.

Dang, I was gonna put it on a chain and wear it when I start rappin.

Congrats and nice find, There's a list of stuff in the first gen read only tech library. Good read.

Nuther day of soaking, Filled up through drain tube until it cam out the top.

Thanks DNA, I squirted some seafoam through the top vents untill they bubbled over, all i found was seafoam fogger though. I couldn't find a the procedure you spoke of, Is there a link?. I'm thinking if I could get some fuel through it it would clean out and start working. (Hopefull) May have to start looking at carb removal, didn't want to do that if i could get away with it. Anybody see a howtoo on carb removal?

Yeah, I saved the Shooting the Shotgun to my desktop. With new Idle screws and diapragms, It starts up better( and it s warm out). And it revs better. Still not on # 2, It has spark and I can run it with the drain open and nothing comes out. So I'm thinking float valve or I heard there may be a screen ahead of the float valve. May try the carb soaking you speak of tomorrow eve and let it soak. I squirted some berrymans B12 in the inlet hose and put it back on. Nothing today. Will keep at it. Thanks Doug for the support.

So did the new fancy coffee pot go missing again?

Good points Flyday58, The coil was the altenater/generator coil that the PO replaced. Seems to charge when running. I When I drained the #2 Carb , I didn't get much out. And then when it was running, I drained it and didn't get any. So I think I do need to get fuel flowing in there. I pulled the plug and it is sparking like a mad dog. Put a new one in. ( I'll replace all after I get it going). Had'n't thought about the butterfly, will check. Yeah, I plan on checking the TCI innards after I get this fuel thing going. I was happy to see the #2 spark flashing. Hoping not to have to pull the carbs. But may happen. Working in limited time and limited space. Thanks and have Fool of a weekend.

Well it starts right up, and runs better, still cold #2 . Revs good. Drained some more gas out of #2 and it smelled OK. Couldn't get more out. Let it run for a while and tapped #2 best I could. #2 exhaust got warmer but could still lay hand on it. Figuring just warming from compression. Will try again next week. Have a good weekend.

I will try that, thanks. Thinking remove air filter box too and shoot some carb cleaner down in the inlet tube where the hose attaches. and let it soak. Need to pull box to get to TCI anyways, I reckon.

Had one of these, not in this good of shape. My buddy was going to take it for a ride and the gas tank was off, so he put it on. As he was putting it on the truck, I said start it, make sure it runs. So he did. Well the bike reves up, and I should note here that I had bought a new kill switch but hadn't put it on yet, so he tries to pop it in first gear to stall it. Well it took off with the old drum brakes and the worn out drum. The throttle cable was on the outside of the tank so it was lifting the throttle. And he takes off with his eyes quite wide, and as he turns to miss the truck it opens the throttle and he really jumps. Fell by the road in the neighbors yard and i ran over and picked it up with the clutch in put the front wheel against the big oak tree and went to second. That didn't stall it., 3rd... nope... 4th, finally. Also with the help of the rut that it dug. Had to tell the neighbor and get some dirt to fill in. I think she planted flowers. My buddy said he pictured himself heading down the interstate to run the thing out of gas . There's more but who's next. http://tenwheel.com/imgs/a/a/w/p/i/1982_husqvarna_xc250_survivor_museum_runs_title_ahrma_vintage_mx_cr_cz_3_lgw.jpg

Sparky plug has sparky... Put new one in. Drained bowl againon #2 carby, gas gamout. looked and smelled ok Left drain open and turned on key, no pump turn on, Started engine, running with drain open and nothing coming out. hmm, Methinks it might be suffering from stuck float valve. Open to Ideas, would like to not pull the carbs. But if that's the only way. Anyone? Anyone?

Now to pulls a saprky plug, still not hitting on #2

Well i take my turns, and will prolly have another on the stoopid. Lol My old husky had a sticker that said "Turn the gas on! DUMMY!" And yes it was in gear, thank you.

OK, Update. Shotgun Shooting and new diaphragms and new idle screws. Put battery in , clicked run until Fuel pump stopped coming on to fill the bowls, Hit start, light goes out but she wont turn over. Take battery out, its at 12.5V and so charge it. Put battery back in and still wont turn over.:confused: hmmm, hadn't had a chance to search yet.

Must be an extremely safe state, since all the LEOs have to do is worry about tickets.

Yep, only in ACC, and excellent write up here in the tech library, http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?493-CLASS-E4-Error-Repair fixed my e4 code

Went ahead and got the JPM since the others were not in stock. Received them today, so maybe the shotgun blast and the diaphragms replaced this weekend and got the gages in too so maybe a crank and a sync. See how this goes. Then maybe the TCI is ok and can discuss preventative work on it. Hope we get lucky!

Went ahead and ordered JPM diaphragms. They came in today.

Was curios about the group by price, and they still seem to be out of stock.

Thanks Prariehammer and Fliyingfool, Kinda what I was thinking when I got it, but sometimes when one thinks too much, it's nice to hear a voice of reasoning outside your own head. :-) Well got one side off. the diaphragm I suspected did have a hole in it, and both had been patched up previously. Drained gas looked pretty clean. Will shotgun when I get a chance. Looking at getting new diaphragms. I suspect the other side will have been patched up too. Thinking JPM, or the ones on ebay. Seems the JPM's might last longer. hadn't found others.

Any recomendations on LED's. Was thinking about going to radidio shrack.

Has anybody used these diaphragms? Thoughts? I think I found this page before but couldn't find it again with the search tool. http://jbmindustries.com/Yamaha650.html Thanks

Used Bars Stop leak one time to seal up a heater core leak( old mustang 2). Lasted a couple years and was picking up a lovely young lady one evening and when we got in the car to leave her house, the whole care filled with steam. lol. Her hair was falling(early 80's) i said we better get in her car and go before dad comes out and kick's my ass since we haven't been gone 15 seconds and the windows are already fogged up. Anyhoo, bars might get you by for at least a couple weeks. Good luck and keep us posted.

Like a heat wave My hero!! and thanks for sharing this adventure. Enjoy!
