  1. How do you know that all 4 gauges are reading the same. Gauges notoriously read different and you may have a bad one. Hopefully there is a way to check them against each other. I use a homemade tool with only 1 gauge,, I like it just fine. And yes, if your sync is a long ways off, it will effect your idle. That's why it's recommended to blip the throttle regularity during the process, better too often then not enough. What you are actually doing is adjusting the throttle linkage, so that all carbs operate as one unit. You could conceivably move the linkage in the wrong position temporarily and so misalign a part of the linkage, hence the need for working the linkage or blipping the throttle.
  2. No wonder the border guards are so particular when we come across the border,, they always want to know how long we are going to stay, and where we are going. I've never told them that I'm headed for Washington, and never told them that I'm staying for long.
  3. Awe come on, let Brad have it, I'm sure he'll take good care of it. And yes, we could put up a donation can at the IR for SAF donations,,, good idea.
  4. Dano's mod is the way to go, no more problems. You can do the work with just basic tools, nothing fancy needed except the puller and that's a whole lot cheaper than a mechanic, but buy a good one, it's got to take some stress. Some of the balancers, come off quite easy, some are little harder and mine took a week to decide to come off. Finally was persuaded to move from it's spot with a 2 lb sledge and a heavy punch to wake it up to the fact.
  5. Take the old fuel line with you and match it up, just buy enough to make a bigger bend at the fuel pump and you'll be fine.
  6. As Bob indicated they are mostly 8mm with washer heads, but they also use shoulder washers so that you don't squeeze the crap out of the fairing. I think there are 3x8mm per side and then there are some smaller Philips head stove type bolts to help out, in addition there is room for some Phillips head screws as well. All told you will be using 3 different type screws until you get to put the top piece on, the pieces that hold the radio and class control, then you'll need screw type #4.
  7. You don't get things together right using that stuff,, best use Fluid Film.
  8. I LOVE digging ditches,,,can watch it for hours!!!
  9. So far so good.
  10. If you tighten the bearings just right you don't need a damper, but it can be a bit tricky at times, in this case a little can go a long way.
  11. Blessings to all of you today. It's good to remember those who go before and to call up the impact that they had on the lives of those around them. We will remember the good things that were said and done, but seem to have a difficulty recalling the less than desirable times in their lives. This is good, for we can learn to live better from the examples of others,, and a lot can be learned from the way Gunboat lived. Enjoy the day folks, celebrate, for he would have had it no other way. Where he is now, there are no more tears, no pain, no broken down scooters, no hunger, no government that needs complaining about, no thirst, no soldiers, no laws to break,,,,, hey! it's heaven!!! it's where he wanted to go. I wish that each one of us will be able to join him in the everlasting peace, which will only happen if you join the assembly that he belonged to. He would love to see us all there as well someday.
  12. And some used ones. Stainless: 304, 18ga, mirror finish, all necessary hardware included = $125.00 plus shipping. Used ones: Shipping only.
  13. I have 3x 2005 Chev trucks,,, thought that orange light was for emergency dash lighting,, oh well, at least they are all the same.
  14. Arnprior eh???? go to that area once in a while,, Trader is not too far away from you, maybe set up for a Meet & Greet and maybe a ride come Sept,,, wifie is just working it out now as to when exactly. Oh Ya, this thread is about Reiney and his new scoot. Congrats bud, see you on the road soon. When are you getting it?
  15. Just so you know, that 'vacuum line' is just an air box drain line, in case you get too much oil in the air box from overfilling the crankcase. Has no real effect on the immediate running of the engine.

    Not often in Ontario, but maybe there could be some Hot Sex????
  17. Call 519.four,four 9.5758 in Burford. It's an 09 he thinks, hasn't been ridden for 2 years, he has a cancer problem. He bought it new, now has about 8 to 10k on it. Make him an offer. Black on red. Always inside, and I don't think he ever dropped it. He says it's too heavy for him now. I wonder if it's ever been in the rain even. Can be a real good deal and will fit your better half and her color desires.

    Ya,, but better at what????
  20. Congrats, enjoy getting older,,, there may be more to come.
  21. Should have made that a 2 seater, then you wouldn't need the tarp.
  22. Undoing the AICS will have no bearing on a carb sync. Doing a carb sync checks and balances the vacuum in the intake manifold, below the butterfly valves, or maybe better described as the accelerator butterfly. If the ACIS is leaking and plugged into the system them that will cause problems, but if it's not plugged in then there will be no effect on the carb sync.
  23. Guess I made it just in time,,,, Congrats you two, and don't forget to get some sleep Huh!
  24. I thought I was in here,, but guess I wasn't, but now I is, and so is the missus.
