You know you'd be welcome here anytime,,, and you could even bring your 'vette,, and the bike,,, then we can fix it right,,,, just let me know. -
Ya,, if we could only stay strictly with bike related stuff and not garages,,,, oh wait,,, I guess that might be considered bike related. Sorry Dan.

Maybe it sounds like you have some wires wrong. I would check the fuse block. One side should have power when the key is turned on, the other side no power with the fuse out and the key on. Normally the left side would have power but the right side not. -

As far as Wed are concerned,,, it's still bike night, but riding time is getting somewhat short,,, now if I was riding something different, I would only have to make it to the nearest 'Timmies',, but real riding??? in the dark???? naahhh,,, but Saturdays is good I think,, most times!

Trading a Ford for an HD,,, well the jury is still out. Never mind my smart remarks,, you get to ride!!!!!!!! and sitting at car shows is nice at first, but boring after a time or two,,,, I think you made a good choice. ENJOY!!!!

Now I may be all wet,,, but reading between the lines a little, and taking some of the info from here and there throughout his study, it seems to me that if you just use ordinary diesel fuel as an additive to your gasoline, you have pretty much accomplished what we mostly expect from Seafoam,,,, cleaning and lubrication. Diesel does both. Now naphtha might make the diesel a little more penetrating but then the gas in the tank will have a function there as well. The alcohol may have some cleaning properties, but after it's mixed with gas, how effective is it? Transmission fluid does a good job of cleaning, but is it better than diesel. All this makes me think, just pour some diesel in that tank and it should do the job and not do any harm.

88 venture carb sync question
Marcarl replied to masterofyard's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
When did that start,,,,, is that the new age or generation??? -
Glad you had a good time,,, must have been a day when Bob was trying on his new face,,, or it was soooo wet that Marita has Rain on the Brain.

YA!!!! good for them,,,, a real Carl's Berg Ad.

Really kind of neat,,, out of my realm, but neat just to see.

Don't worry none,,, you'll be helped through all you need. You have a second gen! A first gen came long before,, first made in 83 until 91,, too bad,,, then in 99 the second gen was born,, not the same as the first gen, not as fast even though they did come out with blue ones, and brown is faster. Then there is the MRKI as opposed to the MRKII. MRKI's were made in 83 and 84, the MRKII's came around in 86,,,, that leaves the 85 all by itself and it's the best with the 1200 power plant and the large trunk and they are brown, so naturally the fastest. Now some of this is BS and some is real truth,,, you get to figure it out.

I find that the massage therapist is as good or better than the bone cracker. Haven't been to see the bone man in 3 years,,, just the massage every month,, and no issues yet.

Ride solo,,,, no issues!!!

Take it out of gear before you push the starter, and you should be good. The clutch plates are bathed in oil, but when you put the scoot on the side stand, all the oil can or will drain off leaving the plates kind of on the dry side, hence there may be some stickyness. Mine does it all the time, just be ready to hang on if it's still in gear,,, which mine always is.

OK Don, I know your pain,,,, bed will be ready when you get here.

Does it smell only when it is running, or when it is shut off? How about the next day? Chance are that you might have a very small leak in the bottom of your tank that is right at the moment only seeping.

And I suppose I'll get the blame if it goes down under,,,,,,,

Go for the private sector,,, that way you'll have the government after ya,,,, if you go for the government the the private sector will want your hide, and you'll only last a few short days at best.

Just because me doesn't know the answer, doesn't mean that I don't what the answer isn't.
