Wouldn't work for me: pool to clean, deck to wash, no place to park my new lawn mower or my snowblower,,,, nah,, I'll stay here thanks!

You could come to Ontario, refugee status pays well.

Thanks again, keep us posted!

You'd best prepare the new owners of my dilemma, I wouldn't put the info in the offer though, just tell them as you hand over the keys.

Glad you told us, good news is always welcome.

We will miss that place, your place, but life goes on and age creeps up. Soon enough we must all look at doing what is best. We lived for 24 years in our last place and then when it was time to move we chose were we are now, thinking that we might be getting a bit older as we lived here. Age is starting to show and I think we made the right choice, hopefully you will as well.

Most use a MC jack from HF maybe, but you will need to adapt to the bike. Could use hockey pucks or 4" pieces of 2x4. Once you have it up, throw a strap across it.

Yep, sounds like an idea.

Sure do hope things go well for you. It would be a real nice present for this time of year.

I guess that is good news for now at least, keep us posted and we will keep asking for intervention.

YEP! that all makes sense. If the starter don't turn the engine over, best to stop and find out why.

Just remember that once you are in His hands, He will never let go.

Still asking for a good outcome.

They could be a little 'stiff' in the when you wake them up, just be careful they don't retaliate and blame you for the awakening.

Prayers for you two. The God who made us has the power to keep us and repair us.

Starter clutch I bet.

Thanksgiving is also a good time to consider our life after this one and to discover how we would get there if there is one. For most of us this life has been very awesome, yes we may have had some issues along the way, but generally speaking, in North America, and many other regions on this earth, life has been quite good. If this then is your best life, where might your next life be? Time to give Thanks.

Yep!

Do get back to us on how the 'new' other set works for you.

Maybe it's time to consider what happens when the time is used up. It may be sooner than we think, and then it may be too late to decide a direction.

Yep, loose bolts will do that.

We don't feel so much like when we were 40, or 20 either. I think we are a bit slower at things. The items that were light once upon a time, they now make a lot heavier, they seemed to have moved the mailbox further away and the street lights don't shine as bright anymore. At times they move the streets so that a feller could get lost going to his friend's house and they closed the store that we always go to. Used to be when everything was done right they made toilets that you didn't have to fall onto and then need a hand to get off of, the mattresses were softer and the pillows were better as well. Don't know what's happened to the world lately, but with all the new computers and stuff that is supposed to make life easier, people aren't speaking properly anymore, they mumble a lot and have trouble seeing around themselves and so run others over at the cross walk. Wonder what it will be like when I get to 80. I'm not there yet, at least I wasn't yesterday when I checked last, but they are trying to tell me to get ready,,, lots of signs along the road saying it's going to happen. Wish they weren't in such a hurry hoping they will change the signs to read 40 soon. JMT

lookin good!

I think I can see both side of the story as I read your words. First you say that you replaced almost all of the fuel lines, so that would mean to be 'not all' and the one or two that didn't get replaced could be the culprit. Second: which of the carbs is doing the leaking, is it always the same one? Fuel lines have a tendency to break down after time, but it happens slowly, so you very well might get some nice riding time in between issues, but it will continue to happen time and time again. It doesn't take a lot of dirt to cause your issue, might even be hard to see with the naked eye. Best maybe bench test the whole set together, use only 3-4 lbs pressure. Be sure to make things act as though they were on the bike,so make fuel flow through the barbs, have them shut off and re-flow again. You can do that by using the drain screws, but only let it slowly drip, not pouring out. Replace all the fuel lines after the filter. Don't go cheap, use quality product. I agree with Mike that sending the carbs back might not solve your problem but only make things more frustrating for you both. Again, replace all the lines to eliminate that possible cause.

I'm not a super expert on this, but I know that the faster you ride the more bass you will loose. Bass is the slower moving frequency of the spectrum and needs something to bounce off of in order to develop. I think the best solution would be to a proper subwoofer to the setup, but hey, did you want to sit on the bike as well?
