That #3 would have an occasional drop in vacuum has me confused. When you sync, or anybody does a sync, it has nothing really to do with spark or firing. All it really does is to adjust the throttle plates evenly so that each cylinder gets very close to exactly the same amount of air. It is then up to the carbs to deliver the right fuel mixture and the ignition system to boom it. So doing a sync at 3k can throw things off, for if a throttle plate was 10% of at idle it would only be off 2% at 3k (not scientific or real at all). The vacuum gauge is only used to judge the throttle plate position, that's all. So now we have 1 cylinder, #3 that has an intermittent vacuum drop. For some reason, either the piston isn't drawing air, the intake valve is opening, you have a loose boot, there is a hole in the diaphram, or something, something is causing the lack of vacuum. I would chase that down first. Are you sure you weren't pinching the vacuum line? What sync tool are you using?

The basket is held on by a nut. I wouldn't worry about a new washer, but you'll need some special tool to tighten the nut back on. Just sticking a screwdriver in the basket to keep it from turning is not healthy, unless you have another basket handy that needs a home. Don't ask me how I know this, it's top secret!! and yes, I thought I could do better than the instructions. You can make a tool yourself with some wood and nails. You will need to hold the basket from turning the engine isn't going to do that for you.

If you have a propane torch, blow some propane around the outside #3 to see if that makes a difference, just to check that everything is sealed up properly.

So maybe take this as a double checking question. Did you get all 4 carbs to dial in correctly? all the same when you did a sync? Did you do the sync after to installed them this time? did you try the carb cleaner in #3 while it was running? did you sync at idle? and leave it there or did you adjust again at 3k?

Before you go through all that, do a second opinion. Take off the air box and spray carb clean or WD40 into #3 . If it fires then most likely you still have a carb issue, if it doesn't the problem lies elsewhere.

Opps sorry, yes that would be good info for some. Daughter #1 Dororthea, daughter #1 Nicole, daughter #1 Marielle, pronounced Mary-el-a The other 2 GGKids from: Son #1 Eric, son#1 James, daughters 1&2 Bella, and Mazzie or something like that.

Well so much for my thoughts on getting a Spyder forum on this site, I thought Eileen might have a little push on that, but that probably went down FlyinFools drain as well. Hope it works for you guys. Marca and I have discussed it at times, but so far we decided to stay with the present. Maybe sometime down the road, but it would have to be easier to get out of, so maybe a different brand. Marca like to crochet while we travel anywhere distant. She could do that on the 85 but the back draft on the Spyder doesn't allow for that. Always something!!!

Having faith that all that is needed will be supplied.

So a SS for your birthday eh? Enjoy both, and don't let Eileen steal either one from you, especially the birthday!

Did you know that you have a crack in your windshield? Thanks for the update, we were thinking of one as well, but just didn't know what brand to get.

Smelling better already, glad you go it done, I was getting afraid of going on the site, especially to this thread. Butt snot so bad now.

And if anybody wants to have somebody vouch for this lady? she's as good as she looks and maybe even better.

I kind of like Puc's idea, but something to keep in mind if you go this route. When pushing smaller pipe into larger one, you could create enough debris that it might plug up somewhere further down the pipe where trees have sunk their roots. Maybe best to rent a sewer camera to see how that all might work out.

Ya I'll learn her! She's got 2 other great-grandkids to compete with so far, and 16-18 grandkids to guide the way, and if that don't work there's 8 great uncles and aunts to give direction, and they all know how to give input! :bowdown:I think I'll lay low for a bit, just to see how well they were trained. And oh, almost forgot, there's GreatGrandma as well. And that is just on my side, there's a whole bunch more from the other side,,, you know,,,, the outlaws.

Here's a couple of informative reads. https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/plumbing/repair-a-sewer-main/ http://home.costhelper.com/sewer-line.html

I always think that if somebody else can do it, why can't I. Usually there is a good answer but sometimes it's as simple as needing 5 minutes of training, the right tools and the will to do it. Training maybe be available on-line, tools can be rented, and it looks like you have the will already in place.

Taking right after her Great Grand Pa I'd say, good looking (has likes of her father) lots of hair, doesn't complain much, eats well, content, not overweight, enjoys company, poops her,,aaaa does her business properly, A REAL SWEETHEART! Born by c-section on Monday Feb 26,2018, weighed in at 4lb 8oz, somewhat named after her great,great, great, great grandma, great, great, great grandma, great, great grandma, great grandma, grandma, and mom. Marielle Wilhelmina has arrived and doing well! 4 weeks early. Couldn't wait to see Grandpa.

A thought crossing my mind would be to shove a 4" inside the good part of the 6" if that works. That might save future problems and the outside digging. Don't know if that would work though, but if it does, problems are solved for now.

Nice guitar and bell stick, these guys should go far! Eh?

Dumb!

Yep, my thoughts!

Unless you did a lot of nice cleaning under those stator wires, they don't look to be an issue, below them though are the position sensor wires, looks like they are ok, but can't really tell from the pictures. Good job all around, carry on.

I'm still actually thinking about changing mine out, but would the one for a Slingshot fit? or would I have to get CarbonOne to add his magic?

The solenoid is stuck beside the battery on the left side facing forward. Also check the main fuse that's in a rectangular holder, and I believe it's stuck at the front of the battery.

Chatting is something that happens at tea parties, I do believe the focus was on talking, and brother, I is not in the running!!! Just ask me wife!
