  1. Go for it Annie, with sooo many behind you, you have a lot of experience,, use it wisely. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and wish you many more good ones.
  2. Poor performance, missing, poor mileage............
  3. It goes from 1 to 4 and then back again, doesn't go from 4 to 1,,, sooo, 1,2,3,4 and then 4,3,2,1. Does that help?
  4. I'll be right over in the morning,, if you don't see me right away don't fret, just get started and I'll be along,,, long,,, long,,,,,, time!
  5. On the first gens, you can do them dry. With the bowl covers off, turn the carb upside down, look at the floats and you'll notice a curve cut-out on the top (now on the bottom) of the float. This should nicely coincide with the round casting circle on the main jet block. bend the tab to adjust either way. If you would like to check this, hook all 4 carbs together as if they were on the bike, square and straight. Run clear hose from the drain ports with enough length to come to the outside and above the carbs. Hopefully at this point you have a Mighty Vac that will also pump pressure. You will now need an airtight bottle with 2 holes in the lid. Through the one hole run a hose you need to attach to the input of the carb, and the other end to the bottom of the bottle. The other hole is for the hose coming from your pressure source. You need to seal both hoses to the lid of the bottle. Now fill the bottle with gasoline and pressurize the input hose which will fill the carbs with gasoline. Once the bowls are full the flow will stop and pressure should be maintained at the source. You don't need much pressure, as these systems run with about 2 lbs pressure. With the hose ends held above the carb you can now open the drain screws and the fuel will rise to the same level as what is in the carbs. Once the flow has stopped, apply a bit more pressure to the bottle to finish and see the test results. Hope this is clearer than mud.
  6. You could just buy a slew of batteries, and then when one goes dead, mount the next one,,, you'd probably get a good price as well, maybe like wholesale, so you could help the rest of us out when we need one,,,,,, and then you would have a continued use for your trailer. I really don't know where they put those wires, but if you look in the lower faring on the right hand side, just behind the water bottle, you might come up lucky.
  7. Good of you to hang out with us,,, we do need some guidance every now and then.
  8. You should have said something earlier,, I had a set of used ones you could have had for cheap!
  9. So you do have some sense after all,,, they just may be hard to find seems like.
  10. I wouldn't, but I'll not explain why or it will get political.
  11. I send my hound to go get it.
  12. Nah, couldn't hurt Bobby,,, you know, no sense.............. darn what was the rest of that, I lost it now.
  13. I'm not taking any chances, thanks for the warning!
  14. Nope,,, couldn't have been,,,,, 'course then they were on a farm tour:think:
  15. Ya, your boss would soon be broke, and you'd be looking for a new job.
  16. Kind of helps put things in perspective I'd say. Spent enough time working already,,, and in the bathroom with those related activities,,, but I figured that there wasn't near enough time in bed, so I'd better catch up a little there before things get out off balance,,, and then I might want to ride some more,,, ya, there were some of those beans left:happy65:
  17. Must have been VentureRiders,,, I've seen them do the same thing,,,, hey they waited for her!!!
  18. You just can't sneak on a Wing,,,, you should know that!! So welcome back, and I would kind of miss you, if you up and left us. Just remember that this is a civil site,, and most of us are at least somewhat civil.
  19. Hey Gary,, unless I'm grossly mistaken, and that has happened before, there is a spacer inside the wheel, same size as the inner race of the bearing, and it needs to move over a bit to get at the center of the bearing, so a puller won't work,, and if I still have it correctly, there is a collar on that end of the spacer that doesn't allow the spacer to move over at that end, so the needle bearing is the first one to come out.?.?
  20. Air mixture screws need adjusting, cleaning.
  21. Yammer Dan!
  22. Wheel turns, that' normal ,and show that's it hooked to the engine. No clutch and clear fluid, could be related. Possibly brake fluid leaked out of the clutch, can be fixed easily enough, but a little time consuming.
  23. Doesn't fit into the criteria,,, would be classified as a bribe and so far that seems to be OK,,,, so like Ground Hugger,,,, make an an offer:thumbsup2:
  24. I have an advantage.....:canada:Throw that into your theory!!
  25. We're hoping for self-destruction, that way we won't be blamed for using our deleting skills to eliminate a perfectly good example of VentureRiders.
