Looks to me that the pictures you showed are from a 2nd gen pump.

Adjuzting the points might give you more grief than what you are trying to fix.

Something to think about. You were used to riding a first gen, brake pedal under your foot and no added pressure from the force of stopping. Then you get on a 2nd gen, do a panic stop and the force of the stop helped your foot put extra, unintended pressure on the forward positioned pedal. Something to get real familiar with, and maybe you weren't as good as you thought you might be.

Sounds like it's now working the way it's supposed to. I would check and clean the side-stand switch for starters, and also maybe the clutch switch.

No problem,,, I thought you new,,,, you can meat me day after the day of two days from now under the left side of the third bridge from town on hiway 424. Time set is for 2am in the afternoon. Should you not be able to make it at that time we will have to find another recipient of the said funds. Do not tell anyone of this meeting, or take anyone with you as a witness. We will recognize you by the large brown envelope that you will be carrying with the name Ben-Had written on the outside in plain English.

Ya thanks for the little extra, but concerning that, it's going to take some time to straighten all that out. It would have been easier had you sent the right amount, but now we have to have our accountant involved. Not to worry though, the money is still safely in the bank account where of we had spoken earlier and will be forwarded to you at the earliest possible time period. Our accountant has requested that we forward them a small amount for to make sure that this is all legitimate and they also mentioned that the funds requested could not come from our own bank, but must be forthcoming from an American source. I know this is starting to sound like a bad deal, but rest assured that once the required funds have been transferred we can then proceed to enhance the process of the funding. Please bear with us, and keep this secret. If our present government finds out about these funds all will be lost.

Funny thing is, that today's crowd tend to think that us old foogies know nothing,,, but it was us who got them to where they are today. Yep, if it hadn't been for the 60's crowd, there would be no TV, cell phones, computers, alarm systems, internet banking, credit cards, radial tires, colored hair, bikinis, electric shavers, microwaves, major league baseball or hockey,,, and the list goes on,,,,,, course we would still have to deal with horses and horse manure rather than bull-st*t,,, but hey,, that's what buggies are for.

Did you try to move the points closer together when it quit. You could also try to run the pump straight from the battery to see if that changes anything. I did have a realy go bad once, but after dropping it, it seemed to have got the message to not ever do that again. Careful if you run it direct, the pump will not accommodate reverse polarity.

Oh Oh,, you mentioned Rolly Polly?

Just dont forget who your friends are. Ive already retired to take advantage and help you!

Looks like a compomotition starting up here,,,,, it's a well known fact that Carl hugs the best,, you can check that out with any of the members, especially the younger ones,,, anyways, Puc,,, you'd best be brushin up on you're skills, Saddlebum is a close second and he has been takin lessons for a few years already,,, now he really lost out by not hugging Greta,,,, but knowing him he'll be trying to catch up soon.

Ditto on that. The plastic cover you speak of is land fill material. very few are being used for anything else. Each plug has it's own separate coil, not a real common issue, but has happened.

Don't know what you have that attracts those varmits Puc,,, but it looks like you'd better get a bigger Terminator. Them's no small problem to have around. They've taken over your garage it seems, next they'll have you sleepin in the dog house. Enjoy the visit, as I know you will.

Just for kicks, change the pads back the way they were. If that solves your problem, the real problem will be with the calipers in that the pistons are hanging up. Pay attention here,,, brakes not working right is no joke, it's outright dangerous. We don't have that much power in the braking situation, so don't go compromising it in any way. You need all you got,, get it right!!!

Check the terminals to cable connections. They might be tight so pull on the good, don't worry if they come apart for if they do,,, you found your problem.

I have a kit, but Brenner has it at the moment,,, he's long done with it so you could PM him and see how to get it from him. I know locally here, if I bring in 4 shims to Brantford MC, they'll exchange them for what I need,,,, don't know how your relationship is with your local dealer.

So here I try soooooooooo hard to be myself and then I get blamed for the weather,,,,,, yes the weather!!!!! Got up Saturday,, all rip rarin to get to work, and the first thing that happens when I get to Don's is that I have to go back to the Hotel,,,, then upon returning I am informed that it is lunch time,,, well can't miss lunch now can we,,,, after I made sure that all the folks were equally feed, and none looked gaunt and miss-treated, I dined on the left-overs. With that under me belt it was time to visit with some folks who thought that stealing cameras was not nice,,, I put it back,,,,, and then I had the opportunity to look for a hammer,, when I was so much informed that going home was on the do-now list, because of the weather,,,,, that's where the weather comes in. Tell ya what,,, if you can bear to wait til next year????? I'll for sure set you straight if you've noticed that you have it all wrong!!

I have heard that the back brakes wear unevenly, but for that to happen to the front is a new one I think. Maybe best check that the pistons are all working properly and not hanging up, or ceased.

Most likely you have some air in the clutch hydraulics. First bleed the clutch system and make sure all the old brake fluid is out. You might find that the end of the master cylinder will retain some air. To get this out, partially fill the reservoir with brake fluid, turn the handle bars all the way to the right so that the reservoir is the top-most part of the system. Then as you tap the connector at the end of the reservoir, slightly, lightly work the handle. No need to move it all the way, just enough for bubbles to come up. Make sure you cover the bike below to catch any drips, brake fluid does a number on paint.

Oh Puc,,, now you have me

Beginning tomorrow, June 03. Starts @ Madeleine Road 6:30 pm. Ride wherever Stop someplace All depends on who shows up. You'll get home in time, what ever time that is. Continues week after week on Wednesdays. If it rains,,,, forget it. July 01 is a no-ride-nite.

We DID???? Guess I must be getting younger ,,, they all tell how young I look,,, maybe it's actually happening,,, or maybe it's the Spyder thing, finding it hard to keep up with everybody lately,,,, don't go so slow anymore.

Thanks for checking in,, good to have met you,,, now I can envision a face when I see the name. Good you made it home alright,, and sorry about Squid,,,, nobody said he was coming or we might have been forewarned. Seems we kept him busy enough though to keep him out of trouble mostly.

It wouldn't have been the same without you two,,, nice to have sat down and chatted for a bit. Until next time!!!

This is not good,, too many bad reports,,, pretty soon folks will be telling us that riding a MC is dangerous. Sorry for your injuries Eagleye, sounds like it's more the feelings rather than the physical. I'm very happy that the riders were no any more injured than what they were. Shows to go you, that mishaps on MCs can happen without loss of life. That's a good stat and I think there is Someone we can thank for that.
