Congratulations! You made it.

I guess the shotgun is next when I can get to it. Just thinking I could throw it out there to the vast wisdom of the board and maybe and save some trouble. If somebody already knew the answer because they've been there. Plus if I need to order one, I need to get that going. I guess the shoutgun is cheap and easy and I can access the diaphragms. Now to find that pinning out the TCI and coil testing thread....

Was gonna say to get the biggest one you can afford and will fit the space. A 60 or 65 may not have been 20 or 50 bucks more but the little bit makes a huge difference. ;-) I've also had Visio( ex took it) and got it from Sams club and was happy with the picture and price at the time. Seen deals at the tarshay and wally world too( helped friend get one at tarshay but it 's not 3d and stuff. great picture and was around $600 a year and a half ago. So I guess you can move that one to the bed room and get a bigger one for the other space. :-) Also easier if you can see them first. anyhoo, FWIW, I don't have a TV at the moment. :-) Congrats, will be right over to watch yours...

After that started her up and she fires right up Check the temp on the exhaust pipes, and the port/front(#1 i think) is cold to the touch. Should i try pinning out TCI or just get new one from the Eukraneans and be done with it? Would like reliability, may be worth the peace of mind. Thoughts and opinions?

OK, did the CLASS E4 solder repair. CLASS Seams to be working Rear holding air, maybe lose a couple pounds after you turn it off. Front did E-6 on auto. Turned it off and and turned it back on in manual and it held 10 psi. Didn't try anything else. It may have progressive springs in the front. Seems like a win. only time will tell. :-) Yay. and thanks.

Welcome Vj venture, You may want to start a new thread of your own, and the First Generation tech forum is good, and the $12.00 is worth all the good info. Looks like a good find, congrats.

Has anybody replaced the backlight bulb on the CLASS with an LED? Thanks

Will do bongobobny. I did get the air cleaner off, and cranked it up. it would Idle and bogged when trying to rev-up. the rear port slide kinda bounced at idle and the other three were still. I could leave the choke on and get it to rev a little and the rear port slide would lead and the other 3 would quickly follow and appeared appeared evenly. The stbd rear would occasionally sputter/spit back up at me. Think the Shotgun will do the trick ? I am running seafoam in the tank. also kinda of a knock, I cant quite tell if it was just the backfire of the stbd/rear or there is something amiss. this is the only venture I've heard running. Might be the baffles in the collectors. not sure. have a good day

FYI: You can't pm you, lol. guess you got it turned off or something.

Yes, would be nice.

Fed her some premium and named her Reba. So I will start my Saga here, (please move to watering hole if this isn't the right place) She's an 89 with about 83K miles on her. Supposedly she's only been over twice and he saw one of them. he ran the air at 0 on the and it was on the kickstand both times. Scars on fairing to prove it. May have to get a mudflap girl decal to cover it. She has a trailer hitch with the chrome coming off of it. slight dry/sun fade but I think she'll clean up. Needs acouple screwholes adressed on the class panel and Gotta try greatwhite's plastic restore trick too Came with original tool kit in fancy case too. I finally got to run desulfate on the battery and get it charged up enough to crank. PO said coil was recently replaced. Good on voltmeter when running. She starts, all 4 exhaust pipes get hot. She idles at 1000 and you can take the choke off. Will die if you rev to quick off Idle. but will slugishly go past 2500 and then rev on up. I have put Seafoam in tank. List of what the hecks did i get into: -Has E-4 code. -Gotta drill aircleaner cover screw to remove since its corroded and stripped. - Now get new screw -check for diaphram moving slides together. 3 together one bouncey. so far #1 has holes and has been pathced, #2 has been patched. - maybe get away with shotgun and synchronize:confused24: -throttle, has foam ring, doesn't seem to return, not sure if that's right. may be intentional resistance. - she's a weeper, i think I caused it bringing her home, that will have to be addressed. - fork seals claimed at about a year old, ask po if he replaced springs. - if TCI working, consider replace diodes/transistors or whathavya.- (have to look that up again) ok maybe not, cranked her up and port/ front ( #1 i think) not getting hot. -looks like leaking a little oil around the port side panel, Tranny?. Somebody has had the cover off. -exhuast may be leaking and/or baffle loose. may have to adress that. -rear high center led light bar cover is missing. works and led's are red. just cosmetic. -couple stitches on seat just under drivers legs. may have to cover or address. Thought I'd keep/update the list here so y'all could ponder along with me and chime in with fun and the wealth of wiseness. Thanks, and let the adventures continue.

Great white has an interesting method. I think I'll try it. Vaseline. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?102642-New-guy-with-an-83-well-sort-of-anew-guy/page22&p=956800#post956800

Not most important, I just wouldn't mind seeing what the first stuff is since it is not mentioned in the first post. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?51553-make-that-old-plastic-dash-etc-look-new Thanks and no rush.:sign **** happens:

That's the sauces you kiddo's fussin' about. BBQ is meat based !!!!! If some body put's sauce on the BBQ, that's called "HIDING" , their bbq ain't no count and they know it. Best way is to put the different sauces on the side and dip to try them all. Hope this helps some poor lost souls missing out on good bbq. Now if you will head out HWY 11, west side of Cleveland, SC. There is a lady that sells BBQ out of an RV on the side of the road across from the guy that carves bears(or used to) right near the F-mart. People leave the BBQ competition in Tryon, NC and come to get BBQ from her. I always get a quart of her chicken salad to go, and I don't even like chicken salad. Excellent stuff and she cooks it all herself. She's only open Friday, Saturday,& Sunday. You can then run on up 276 twisties to Ceasar's head and on over to Brevard:essen_018: and over to Maggie valley to Wheels through time. Give it a good WTT at least half a day though. BTW, never trust bbq to a skinny man

Did you try sheet metal screws in the tires for the ice? Like the ice racers.

Did it rub thru or something?

here's vboost http://planetvmax.com/2011/vboost/ might be nice to have. Says you'll need an better flowing exhaust. Works in the upper rpm range (6000+)

Thought I was the only one who couldn't see them

Enjoy these stories. Congrats. Thanks, and keep us posted.

WELL! That's just NUTS!.... or NOT!....

Reba, it's a little red scooter.

cimmer posted the link in this thread thanks cimmer http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?115643-Replacing-clutch-what-parts-to-order I knew I had seen it somewhere.

Are the carbs synchronized? And thanks for this thread, I'll probably be going thought the same scenario in a month or so.

Maybe that was it, the puddy would get sucked on to the inlet and give you outta fuel symptoms, then after sitting it would float off and you could get it running. I've heard of a similar situation on a beetle tdi, it ended up having a rubber glove and some leaves in the tank. It has a fill hole pointing up also. interesting. Thanks for filling us in.

Vincent Black Shadow, of course. :-)
