    Loosen both ends of the old fuel line, the one end at the carbs, the other at the fuel pump. You need to obtain a new piece of fuel line to replace the old red one that's there now. Never mind, I'll call ya

    Somewhat, but I wanted to be sure, it could have been Trader, but then he refused to come to our VentureIn, it might have been Saddlebum, but he's Dutch, so too cheap to give me $20.00 and it had to be somebody who thought he could trust me,,, well, not my fault, you didn't even remember, so it must have been Sumtimers!! Anyways, who's coming out for ICE_CREAM?????

    Just fund $20 stuck in my pocket,,,, was supposed to give it to Don for membership on the Venture Site,,, now I just need to be reminded who gave it to me, so that I can forward it the proper party!

    How Fast?

    Marcarl replied to Brake Pad's topic in VR Polls

    Guess it depends on how soon you need to get there, and where you want to get to. If everything goes right and all the ice cream is gone when you get there, you might have gone a little faster, but if something doesn't go so right and you end up in the lateral position for a time, then maybe a little slower might have worked out better for ya, even though you might have missed out on the ice cream.

    I would drain most of the gas out of the tank, then spray in a whole can of CTC carb cleaner, then let it run for about an hour,,, think it will solve your problems if it's dirt. You'll not likely be getting dirt out of the tank, that's why there is a fuel filter in line, but it wouldn't hurt to replace that as well. Most likely you're getting dirt out of the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carbs, not a hard one to replace. Just loosen both ends, put a bolt into the end by the carbs, screw the new piece onto the bolt and pull it through, about a 15 minute job all told.

    Also check the battery terminals that they are tight to the wires.

    Marca went out and spent money this spring on some hardware. A few weeks later we had the outcome and me feeling kind of stiff. But now it's growing and producing, won't be enough to fill a freezer, but we'll eat good this summer,, I hope.

    From your description I don't see how you would have damaged the needle screw or the carb threads,,, maybe you got a piece of metal stuck where it shouldn't be.

    When I bring stuff to my shop, first thing they do is to plug in the code reader,, and then go from there. One shop charges me $60 for that service and $90 hr there after, the other shop charges nothing for the reader but then charges $50 there after,,,, go figure,,, guess who gets my business.

    Or you could use side cutters to get them out. Jaws of side cutter at top and bottom of screw, pinch down real hard to get some bite and then turn left. Trick taught to me by Muffinman.

    Now you guys went and HYJACKED this thread,,,, did you get the help you needed D4klutz?

    As mentioned tire pressure is of choice. I run an 8" tire on my trailer with about 15lb pressure and the center is wearing out of the tread, indicates that I could run less pressure, but I do want to keep enough in there to hold the bead. It's important to have both tires at the same pressure, otherwise one will drag a little and so cause problems. It's also important, as mentioned, to realize you are towing a trailer and to not to overdo it, keep your speed down, 60mph is plenty fast when it comes to making an unexpected maneuver, so much so that a slight tweak at the front can have drastic results 12' behind.

    Now that's a Spyder,, real nice!!!

    Well if there is fuel coming out of those tubes,, that's a good place to start to fix. Run some Seafoam, and see if that helps,,, a whole can in half a tank or less might do it for you. The float valves are sticking or you have some dirt in the needle of the valve,,,, worst case scenario would be a bad float, but do the cleanup job first and then see.

    I guess the first thing that has me stumped is your comment about fuel coming out of the overflow,,, can you explain that a bit?

    The little tab goes at about the 1 o'clock position, with the hole at the base and outside of the slider going to the bottom.

    So I've contacted the BBB, and the scale manufacturer. BBB is email only, but the rep seemed to be ready to dig in,,, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

    Try pushing that red button a couple of times,,, it tends to get sticky, and then that overrides the direction buttons.

    Looks good for the sight glass part, but I would try to clean the rest of the rust out of that master, and flush lots of clean fluid through the system. Don't know what others might think of the following, but I might think of flushing the system with some brake cleaner first.

    Sorry about that, but I can't quite feel ya.....'pose I will when I get old and go grey, but until then you'll have to go it 'alone'!
  24. Marcarl
    Sounds to me like I would pull that apart to find out what's causing the problem, doesn't sound like anything normal to me.
  25. Marcarl
    I think I can,,, I think I am,,,,depends on Rockin Robin and if she remembered to check my registration.
