Bought a older Venture as no not repairable ...Got it running , installed a new battery , new charging stator , clutch basket , new spark plugs , oil & filter change and it runs great . I have noticed a bearing noise behind the clutch basket and the starter does not have enough cranking power when the engine is warmed up

I found out long time ago , that there are somethings you can nothing about so why worry about them . Just because there some things happening does not mean that you have to stop living

What I can do very little about , i do not worry about

Hi.. I just purchased a 1983 Venture ..I am 5 ft 6 , I have extended and lower several bikes in the past and I do not see that this Venture will be any harder than the ones I have done in the past ..I will custom fit the seat and build a kit for the rear wheel . When sliding the fork tubes you have to remember that rake angle will change and will effect the handling . Have always found that small changes is better than to make radical changes at once . larrydr

I will try adding fuel to the tank. this all took place over 20 minutes. I rode it into my shop , turned the key off. Changed the battery , repaired the main power cable ( about 6 inches) . It would not run . I hope that I did not break a connection somewhere on the harness

Just pickup a 1983 Venture from a friend . It ran great except for a battery problem , so I upgraded the battery along with some of the connections . It has good battery power , starter works great , but engine will not fire . I have the wiring diagram , and looking for a check point to see if the ignition coils are getting power . Anyone know what I missed , does not make any sense . larrydr
