I agree, I might spend some of my money, but only if I was 40 still. Seems to me iffin I was to land one of these in my yard I'd be old and grey before I would have a chance to actually drive it somewhere, and then my kids would probably put me somewhere so I couldn't drive it damage it maybe. So seeing as I'm somewhat over 45 I'll keep my funds for more important things, like IceCream, but I would be up to going for a looksee.

Then again, it could be the spacer.

So,, a couple of thoughts. The first is that you mentioned small holes in the portioning valve, but I didn't see a mention of you approaching the small hole in the MC. This one, if plugged will cause a caliper hangup, but I think your problem maybe elsewhere. When you re-built the caliper, did you use new seals? and did you perfectly clean the seal groves? Cleaning the seal grooves is a pain in the neck, time consuming job. Those grooves get loaded up with what could be described as hard-water deposits. Cleaning the one side is easy enough, but getting the side you can't see is a bugger. If the grooves aren't perfectly clean and you used new seals, the left over dirt will push the seal towards the piston and cause a drag. On the other hand, if you re-used the seals because they looked good enough, then the same may also happen because the seal is still being pushed towards the piston. I use a right-angled pick to clean the grooves and it will take upwards of an hour to do a good job. I also thought about your comment that the caliper didn't release well enough when you opened the bleeder, but did when you loosen the banjo. This would indicate a dirty bleeder seat, or a plugged bleeder. Hope this helps.

Don't go by his first looks Puc, it'll change some after a day or so, so if they say he looks like you or has some of your features, hang on, he may become very good looking down the road. In the mean time, enjoy, and congrats!!!!

WOW,,, that's awesome,,, do they have any more daughters?

This is really not fair, tripod is stuck away behind lots of refurbishing stuff for the store and the owner is too busy getting things cleaned and refurbished. Ah,, not to worry, it'll change soon enough,, thinking HotDogs soon!!!

We started our own butcher shop\meat market in 1986. We are well known respected throughout Brant County and beyond, even as far as Texas I think. We love what we do, and that is to make people happy. Peperettes we are well known for. Offer is always open, and Carl's Burgers haven't changed in years, but we have added a Boss Burger and a Bacon Burger with beef and pork.

So that would indicate a high resistance at that point. That could consist of a loose battery clamp, a loose cable attached to the clamp, or dirty, or both. Resistance is something stopping the flow od current through the wire and respective connectors. Each wire and each connector has a resistance, but should be low enough to accommodate the required current flow. When something goes wrong, the resistance goes up, generating heat, and that heat, if it gets hot enough, could create smoke. So your point of interest should be the battery terminal. Also, a full battery is 12.6v, not as some would think 12v. If you check your battery and it shows only 12v, then it either has gone flat and needs a charge or it's toast, could be either. To crank a starter with only 12v in the battery will cause excessive amps to be used by the starter and cause it to over heat.

Won't be doing that until we get our neighbour thing settled away and have built phase 2,,, so I'd say: Next Year?

Sorry all, but I don't have any pictures just yet, but we are finally moving in to start operations at our home place again this week. The store part is only half ready, but the processing, cooler and freezer are operational and approved for use. It's been an interesting road. First we had thought to double the size of the building to accommodate the production process that we had been doing back in 2008 when we had had a provincial license, but our neighbour got his nose in the way and protested to the Onatrio Municiple Board, so for the present we have the original size building back with a restroom 4 times the size that we need because of the HC rules. Anyways, we are happy to be moving in, it'll take a week or two maybe three to get things all organized, but we are HOME!! If you are wondering what happened?? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?114271-Some-pictures

If you let he smoke out of the wire, then you have troubles. The first place I would look for an issue is where the smoke originated. The wire got hot for some reason and heat is created by resistance, a poor connection, too small wire size or such. This could do damage to the starter and could let the smoke out as well. The starter is designed to run at 12.6 volts or better, and at that voltage it draws a certain amount of amps. As the voltage goes down the amps go up, creating heat, and too much heat creates smoke and if you let the smoke out, the wire starts to get burnt, which creates more resistance and more heat.

Now how did this happen, Larry had a birthday and there was no posted party,,,, bummer,, and I was sooo busy yesterday Blessings for the year ahead Larry, and may you be kept in His care.

If you bought the plugs at a discount or cheap it is entirely possible that even though you thought they were a brand name, that were they a cheap knockoff instead. On the other hand, if memory serves me correct, NGK are the only ones that seem to work well, with few complaints, in the Venture. Just make sure you buy them from a reputable parts supplier rather than some other outfit that sells cheaper products.

Good going Bro. having a split open chest is no fun indeed, and then having them play around with the innards is probably not all that comfortable either. Wishing you well on the healing and recovering process. Eat well and keep fit, then we'll see u soon.

That is a crap load of water in a hurry. Nothing was built to handle that much. Best ask the Father for His input!

Save yourself a pot full of money and scrap the tv altogether.

Thanks Bob for having me take a second look, I thought it was the engine case,,,, getting old I guess. Seems to me, just looking at it, that you haven't drilled deep enough yet. There seems to be enough room to go deeper and re-thread the deeper portion. The left over piece of collar will have to stay in place, but if you can drill deeper then get a longer screw you might be able to make it work. Best get the right screw though before you tap the bore or you might get it wrong.

Yep, you'll either need a good welder who leaves no airpockets or take a chance on JB weld. If you decide to go JB, do not put too much hardner in the mix, so be sure to get it very close to right and then leave it for at least 72 hours at warm temp.

Well you can think what you want, and can post all the arguments for or against, but the center of the universe is where I am right this moment, and if it's the center of the universe then NA might as well tune itself in as well and realize that there is no more important spot than where Carl has his being presently. As far as I'm concerned I'm in the center,, well at least that seems to be the thought of the times, and I thought seeing as I was run over by computers years ago, I might as well get with the times and bend with the winds.

Thanks Ben for setting this up. It was real good to see everybody again for a bit, trouble is, a person doesn't get to spend much time with everybody, so we miss some conversation, but we get more conversation with others,,, and that's not a bad thing. Guess rallys are for more in depth camaraderie, so I guess I'll have to attend the All Ontario Rally in July. I suppose that would be a good thing for those who missed out coming as well, like those who were sick, had other plans, decided to go elsewhere, got lost on the way down,,,,, or just plain FORGOT!!!,,,not mentioning any names here, but, is the memory starting to fail???? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?115027-Ontario-Rally-July-21-to-24 If you want a room for this event, you had best book it now!!!

I'll talk to him tonight. I think he has it all mixed up somehow, he may be a very good mechanic, and also handy when it comes to work products, but I'm not so sure he knows much about swinging doors. Every time it gets cold enough for us to get some snow, he opens things up so that we get rain instead. We'll have to give him some edumacation me thinks, just got to find the right words, he don't always listen so well I noticed,,,, talks too much maybe.

MeToo???

So we would all like to know who is the member that likes you? or do I have the backwards again?

Blessing to everyone for 2017

Just saw this. Prayers for all involved.
