    Ah hush up,,,, I'm just being CANADIAN.

    When I took MC training, one thing they were really big on was: when you come to a stop YOU MUST BE IN 1st GEAR. Yes they would shout it at us, and once I was threatened, that if next time I came to a stop and the scoot died on take off, I might just as well take off myself, for I wasn't going to pass any exam with them. The other thing was that there was always a big Grey Hound bus coming up behind us, so look in your mirrors, do a shoulder check and get ready to rumble. A stopped bike is more vulnerable than a moving one. Guess that lesson was displayed for us again today. Thanks for sharing.

    Glad to hear everything is OK for now,,,,, and hey, it's doesn't hurt at all to let us know these things, then we can do what we do well,,,, and that is pray for you all. Sounds very similar to what our daughter Allison went through for quite a few years,,, nobody could figure it out, but then nobody tested for celiac disease. Then some naturopath thought it might be something to look into,,,, and looky there, it was celiac. So now she is totally off of gluten and feeling fine, thank you very much. Gluten is in all kinds of products, you've got to read the labels. Wouldn't hurt to go gluten free for a week or two, and see how that works out.

    I'd be doing a total clean up of the battery cables, ends and posts. Maybe even replace the ends, just to be sure.

    Do you need a driver? A guy could get tired driving that thing and looking after making sure that the work party is kept busy. I'm a little busy, but could take a break. Say Hi to Mary,,, and have a great trip,,, see you in the spring.

    Now why is it MY anatomy all of a sudden,,,, what happened to yours?

    There should be two cases, one American for the visitors and then one real beer,,,, say Rickards Red, for the those who love good beer.:stirthepot: And oh ya, the mini-van will have a CB as well,,,, was already in the plans,,, thought you might find it handie at times. What we still need is a cell phone that works in the US.

    Do you have a whine or a chirp? If not,,, now need to worry your little head over it.

    I think the only difference in the sliders is the hole size in the bottom of the slider. I know I changed one for the other a couple of years ago and had to drill out the hole a wee bit,,,, just can't remember which was bigger. I have a extra carb set here, just have no idea what shape the diaphragms are in yet.

    Looks like someone got the antennas mixed up. I would do the Marshal Mod, or go to a local CB dealer\fixer, and get something that will work well and look good.

    I'm sure that the 'Motor' you got in there now wouldn't be called a power plant by any stretch of the imagination. It's probably down to one worn out piston, haphazard starter, no spark in the plug, and in need of a new re-coil. Doubt if a TCI is available, or any of the other necessary electronics of that vintage. No wonder the blonde didn't show up to take videos. She's probably careful with her camera.

    Probably had to ban them for the noise factor, tooo many revving engines with all those tight, close knit buildings, probably driving people nuts. Can't see why you need to go to the old city,,,, I've never been there and I'm quite healthy without the experience, I also have not run out of other pleasant places to go and see. JMO Carl

    Got up this morning,,,,,, looked down and seen mother earth,,,,,,,yep,, that put me on top of the world,,,,,, but then I thought of those who might be looking at my feet,,, and I right away thought of Annie..............

    Bummer when your ball and rod snap off!!!! Best of luck with the rest of the place, I was going to offer to come over and help, but now you're going to Bob and Becky's and I wasn't invited,,,,, oh well, I got lots to here anyways, and I'm not much good when it comes to measuring things.
  15. Marcarl
    Just a lesson here that I learned from an oldtimer, and probably has some value,, guess it depends on how you look at things, and sometimes perspective is what is needed: Everything is a HE, except the old Tom Cat,,,,,,,,,, and,,,,,, that's a SHE

    You need to add all those numbers together, then divide by 24 and you'll come up with the number that matches the voltage that it takes to run those horns,,,,,, you don't know that???????

    Check to make sure that all the choke pistons go all the way back when you push the button back in. Could also be a bit of dirt in the carb, so try the SeaFoam treatment.

    Here's back to ya,,,,,, Wishing one and all a Blessed 2011, that you may find the reason for living, and live it to the fullest.

    It must have,,,, it's pink, so that makes it female,,,,, what do you mean it don't have reverse.
  20. Marcarl
    Or it could be the resistor in the spark plug cap.

    I always have Magic Wrap in my toolboxes, on my scoot, or in the house or shop. Works wonderfully, but it's not cheap, about $8.00 a roll at Home Hardware. Princess Auto also sells it, cheaper, but in a smaller roll. Wizard765 was in the US a while ago, and bought me some of that Mighty Fix-it stuff,,, not even close to performing the same,, worked for some stuff, but I'll stick with MW, does what it says it will. http://www.glasgowmfg.com/pages/magicwrap.html

    Can't say anything Bob hasn't said,,,, can't seem to get a word in edgewise here!

    Ya but look at the leg room,,,,now what's more important,,,,, and if it gets stuck it ain't so hard to push out,,,,,,, 'course it would take The Squid all afternoon to balance the carbs.
  24. Marcarl
    You showed us all the bad parts, but not the good parts,,, the good parts are worth the money if you break it up to sell. If you want to ride it,,, it looks fixable to me, but will cost about $1500 on parts on ebay if you get lucky. Just my guess.

    So did you get an engine, or do I have to make you a deal?????
