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.

How much did you pay them, you should have paid them some more, they don't look too cuddly to me.

prayer request
Marcarl replied to adventurer's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
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'

Prayer Request
Marcarl replied to Phoneman1981's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
It's awesome when somebody is going home,,,, yes they will leave an empty spot, and you will miss him, but I'll bet he is ready to go. So celebrate with him, enjoy any time you still have with him, be there for support for him, for he has never been that way before and it could be kind of scary for him. Soon you will see him again, no more problems, no more tears, and no more fear of the future. Bless yourself with a time of mourning, give way to grief, but also entertain the feeling of joy. God bless you in this time. -
Don't need no lawn mower in a condo.

That would kind of tick me off a little,,,, 'specially seeing as it was a nice looking trailer. That's the problem with nice looking stuff, somebody else always seem to 'need' it more than the owner, so that's why I like a Saab, older Chevys and a 1st gen. Now don't going telling any body about my first gen.

The Cow, the Ant and the Old Fart A cow, an ant and an old fart are debating on who is the greatest of the three of them. The cow said, "I give 20 quarts of milk every day and that's why I am the greatest!" The ant said, "I work day and night, summer and winter, I can carry 52 times my own weight and that's why I am the greatest!" Why are you scrolling down? It's your turn to say something.

Law of the Theater &Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk. 12.

If you don't forward this to your friends within the next 5 minutes your belly button will unscrew - and your butt will fall off. Really.... It's true

Sure do look clean and pruuuudy on that there trailer..

WD40 will fire quite nicely,,, kind of expensive to use as a fuel, but will fire the cylinder if the plug is working, so to let you know if the problem is fuel or ignition. Also helps in the discovery of vacuum leaks and such.
-
If you have spark, spray some WD40 into the intake, if that clears things up temporarily then your problem is fuel and you probably got some dirt in the carb from playing around with the fuel pump.

Big Tom will be jealous of you with all that snow,,,, best buy a snow blower!

Thanks Gary,,, I wouldn't of thought of that reply,,, but it's good!!!:happy65:

Added some pictures to the first post for you. Maybe it would look better cleaned up though.

I think I finally got it altogether. What you'll get: 2 side covers,laser cut, mirror stainless 1 stainless bracket for left side 2 spacers glued to the back of the right side cover 4 stainless screws to attach the covers (metric) 2 replacement bolts to attach the left side bracket 2 washers for the above bolts 2 spacers for the above bolts 1 banjo bolt, if you need to replace the one sticking out from the rear brake master. 2 crush washers for above banjo bolt. Instructions: On the left side you need to remove the 2 bolts on top of the middle gear. You can store these for another purpose. Install the 2 new bolts from the package with the bracket as shown. Spacers go down first, then the bracket, facing out, and the the supplied washers and bolts. Torque to 17 ft lbs. On the right side you might need to remove the banjo bolt that is facing the outside from the rear master cylinder and replace it with the thinner headed banjo supplied. The supplied crush washers are also thinner, so use all supplied components. This is necessary as the OEM banjo sticks out too far to make a nice flat installation. You will need to bleed the rear brakes again, so before tightening the banjo, pump a bit of fluid through the joint to eliminate as much air as possible. Total cost will be $150 or less, including shipping. Please indicate if you want to join in the party. Once I have a count, I can then get a firm price for the stainless, let you know the actual cost and get your money before we make them. This will be a one time only deal. Sorry about the dirty scoot, I've been too busy trying to put this together to worry much about it.

It's wasn't me towing it, I was 100 miles away, but my sister is married to him. On another note, I also remember pushing a bike across our yard because the battery was dead,,, but that is another story,, although it did include VentureRiders with tired legs and an almost dry tank.
-
Thanks Gary, we already have spacers in place, but too much spacer and the cover comes too far forward and looks out of place. On my scoot, I have a thinner headed banjo bolt that must have come with the package, the head is just over 4 mm thick. If we can find something similar, it would make my package sell-able and really work out nice. So what I am looking for is a: M10x1" banjo bolt 125 thread with a 4mm head thickness.

Bet that doc was from down under.

That last line got me,,,,,, but then I know somebody who's car wouldn't start and they towed it for 1\2 hour before they realized it was out of gas!

I'll ride my 85 until the time comes that either it won't ride or I can't ride it anymore, in the meantime my thoughts are on a CanAm for sure. Sat on a couple of them, but have not had the pleasure of riding one YET. Riding one should come to pass this spring. A dealer in the area here will rent one for a weekend so a feller can actually get used to it,,, that's my plan. People who I've talked to that have one, are really quite happy with it and I suppose that would be the best indicator as to the well being of ownership,,, same as owning a first gen I suppose, you just don't know if you don't have one.
