    I'm a rather simple guy,,, no real good history,,,, except that I married a wonderful woman called Marca,,,,,, all is did was add rl to Marca,, so we have MarCarl,, the two of us bound together.

    Good idea Jim,,,, but those thingies are spring loaded, so when he gets the end cut off he'll have to find 2 lost bearings...... lol

    Seems to me that you undid something that you were unaware of. It should start and run just fine without all the gizmos. Check your fuse box for loose connections, loose wire end at the fuse box, kill switch, and maybe try it with the kickstand up, or the clutch handle pulled in. Could be a switch as well. And welcome, glad you joined because that way we can help,,,,, sometimes from the frying pan into the fire, but help none the less.

    Glad to hear you two are ok, and able to witness the result and tell us of it. My wife has always hinted at getting an MG or that type of vehicle when we is done with a bike,,, but then last year we bought the Spyder. Haven't heard anything about an MG lately. Got a question for you thought,,,,, when you found that you weren't heading in the desired direction, where were you looking??? around the curve still, or where you thought you were going to end up? Inquiring mind wants to know.

    So Brenner, where abouts in Niagara are you. I've been reading this thread and would be interested in viewing your progress at time maybe. I visit in Grimsby on a weekly basis, and have a daughter in St Kits that I visit on occasion. I used to own an 85 until last year, and it also went to the Penninsula, Dain City area. I also have a whole box full of parts that may or may not be useable. Maybe we can get together.

    Now what are we counting,,,, I'd rather count up,,, counting down is soooo morbid, there is only so much time left.

    It should start just fine, hot or cold. Try some new plugs, NGK for my preference, tried others but never had any better luck. My 85 was developing starting issues, so I rebuilt the carbs. It thanked me in more ways than one. As time goes on the passages in the carbs will become less clean than when new and they weren't designed to be half clean, so clean them up,,, good idea and it gives you something to do. It's not nearly as problematic as you might think. Pretty easy and straight forward.

    I keep what ever balls I find, you just never know when a feller might need them. So I measured some that I have that come from England I believe .125 or.157,,, interested?

    I think Fools machine is working just fine, just needs a little aiming, that's all. Got the call Wed eve to be on site for 4 am Thurs, expecting about 10cm,,, so that should be about 6 hours,,, RIGHT???? WRONG!!!!! we ended up with 18cm (that's 7in instead of 4in in plain english) and we were there for 20hrs straight. Thanks Fool, the boss owes me some money!
  11. Marcarl
    More trouble south of the border,, guess I might have to get ready to help out!
  12. Marcarl
    Looks old enough to have been Puc's,, wonder how much he got for it????

    Watching them close may seem like an option, but not much help if all of a sudden one day they give out. I would be content for myself if my tires were 6 years old, but then that would be the limit,, time to replace. Hey, we do this for enjoyment and where is the fun of it if you have to be concerned about your tires all day long. Crap can happen awful fast.

    I guess there was a reason why our fathers drew the 49th where they did,,,, at least our guys knew where to keep all the BS and leave us Canucks in sane-hood.
  15. Marcarl
    Ya they think they have my picture, but I gave them one that shows a pony tail,,,,,, no idea who that would be,,,, but it sure makes me to be good looking, and that's a feat in itself.
  16. Marcarl
    A COW?????? with all his bull????
  17. Marcarl
    Hey,,,,, I resemble that remark. Can I get you name and address so that I can come and beat you down??
  18. Marcarl
    My neighbor has a Harley!! or my cousin, or my brother-in-laws, brothers uncle's nephew's friend, but he sold it last year. The one I hear mostly of late is: I LOVE THAT COLOUR!!!! After that they want to know what kind it is, who makes it and if will go fast,,,,,,,duhhhh, will it go fast???? wanta come?
  19. Marcarl
    Wonder what he would do if he were to take his wife along? OK, I'm back to my corner!!!
  20. Marcarl
    It seems ok to me,, but then it's Sunday and on Sunday everything should be ok. Now Bob on the other hand, still needs some adjusting,,,, next time out I'll get to it.
  21. Marcarl
    You're not the only one with that issue, suggest progressives.
  22. Marcarl
    If I get you to send me a buck, does that mean for sure I WON'T get a Hardley???? You should have know it was a fast scam,,, why with a name like Ferrari.
  23. Marcarl
    Did you really want to type s hitzu? I don't see that we have a problem wit that. Opps I guess we do!
  24. Marcarl
    So is that where all this grey matter is coming from?
  25. Marcarl
    Oil in the air box is from having too much oil in the crankcase. Oils level should be no more than 1\2 way up the sight glass or it will be sucked up into the airbox.
