    Way to heavy to be comfortable, and safe. Also with the age, if you do look at something that old, be sure to check the frame underneath for rust, could be almost completely gone.

    Don't worry about it,,someone is trying to play with you, hoping you wouldn't notice until you started it up. Employees!!!!!!!!!I'd fire the whole bunch of them!!!

    Forget it Dan, you have a garage to build.

    We had an adventure last year, Wizard765 needed to have 2nd gear redone. We were so good at it, we thought just for the fun of it we'd get that engine in and out in record time. The first time it took a while, but by the third time, I had that engine ready to come out in 1 hr 15 minutes, and yes, all the clothes were back on already,,,, don't ask me why, but it happened just that way! Getting it back in was more of a picnic, but if you hold your tongue just right, lean a bit to the side and then look away at just the right time, it all comes together with the swing arm in place, but you will have to remove the drive shaft. After putting 4 engines back with the SA attached, I still haven't not blinked at the right time to know exactly how it was done, but it was a PITA. So swing arm removal and service is recommended. Just make sure that if you do the 2nd gear thrust washer thing, you take out aaaallllll the old washers first!

    Just so you know, you have a 1st gen, and all they want to do is go, so get on it and ride. They're old enough that they don't care about their looks any more, so it's trying to tell you something. Yep. my 1st guess is ignition switch, try spraying some WD 40 or Deep Creep into it, work it some, spray some more, and see what transpires. In the end I would finish with a good spraying of contact cleaner, and then a bit more WD.

    Guess in the end we might be able to command a better price for our brains,,,, now the trick is, how to get somebody to invest in us using our brain as collateral.

    I posted this in the 1st gen tech forum, maybe not everybody reads that, so I thought to put a link here. I really thought there would be more interest in these side covers from the comments I get when we gather. Don't want anybody to miss out. This will be a one shot deal, so follow the link and post your thoughts and wishes. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67117

    Don't have any preference, I kind of like the way I was made, and after passing the 30 year old mark, am quite used to it by now. To go and change my looks at this point would only confuse me.

    Now if they were in shouting distance,,,,, but hey, we'll do what we can, and that is to ask the Father for a good time and support for all that gather to help the help,ful.

    Nice thing about our bikes is that often times we don't even know that they are running on 3 cylinders, so if it does go again, you can still get home!

    Hey, we have to leave something for a surprise don't we??? Did consider that, but I thought not to put in negatives, but just to leave that to ones own imagination. Thanks for the cool shower, now I can go to bed happy!!
  16. Marcarl
    Correctly???? we aren't supposed to use that word here are we? Let's not give anyone the idea that we might even have the slightest as to what we are doing,,, then we might have to get a license.

    Happy B-Day olde boy,,,, take it easy for a day to see what it will be like, and so you can get used to it.

    OK Dan,,, you can now wish her Happy Birthday for me as well, but go easy and make it last a while, I'm getting too old for fast anymore.
  19. Marcarl
    How much did you pay them, you should have paid them some more, they don't look too cuddly to me.

    Just seen this, Jim,,, our heartfelt condolences to you. May the Lord of heaven and earth grant you peace and surround you with love. It's not going to be a cakewalk after 50 years, yep, you is going to miss her, but If you ask Him, He will be there with you,,,, and so will we.

    Could use a picture, but in the meantime, take the carb off, clean out the crack with a Dremmel tool, drill a very small hole at the end of the crack and seal it back up with JP Weld. The small hole will stop the crack from going any further, JP Weld will not. That's if the crack has nothing to do with any internal components. If you have to deal with internal components, you're in for another carb, I would think.

    Just hope you can also get the 'Running back'
