How can you get lost in Indiana,,,, you just have to follow the buggy with the boat!!!

I thought maybe Mini was missing, but I see she caught the train on the way in again, but now where is SlepperHawk's Mechanic

I find that at slow speeds, I mean slow, like 5 mph, the trailer will wiggle the bike somewhat, especially when going over bumps or through holes,,, no need to worry about that, once you put the power to the back wheel the bike will take over and you should run free and easy, and the only thing you will notice will be that your scoot will have to work harder to get up to speed. aannnnddd it will take longer to stop,,, ya that's all important,,, it takes longer to stop, what I mean with that is that it takes longer to stop.

It may clear it up and then again it may not. If you have ignition noise then most likely you have an ignition wire running too close to the frame, touching the frame or leaking (sparking) to the frame. I would check those items first. Carl PS $40.00 seems to be quite high for that item, you should be able to do much better with an aftermarket filter.

Just remember when you plan, that just north of the U.S of A is the greatest country in the world, and it also should be visited,,,, IT'S: C eh N eh D eh

Glad to get an update,,,, we were wondering what happened to Lowell, hadn't heard about him for sometime,,,, normally he gets tracked during the riding months,,, but nothing that I can remember this year,,,, so here's some more prayer for the wanderer and the hope that he continues to enjoy life to the extent that would be possible. So for anybody in the area,,, I'm sure he would enjoy a visit,,, even if you haven't met him yet.

You could start loading the edge of the windshield.

What kind of helmet do you have? Cover the mic with the palm of your hand to see if that helps the problem. Could be you have feedback from the speakers to the mic, or you may have a crossed wire some where that would short things out. Just some thoughts. Carl

It seems you did a good job of leaving us alone,,,, guess some thought that we would tell on them if they got out of line, (and thanks for your direct phone number, glad I didn't have to use it),,,, some one did threaten once, but that's all water under the bridge now,,, right Mini? And you're right about leaving things in Kevin and Sue's hands as far as the Rally is concerned, it came off without a hitch, we all had time to meet each other, ride a bit, eat more food than what was necessary, drink a little wobbly pop, and even catch a wink or two, but the best part was getting to mingle in real life with those who we only meet on this site,,,, I'm sure a lot of friendships were started, made and strengthened,,,,, all thanks to you and those who were with you when this idea was born.

Just tell her that there is no better way to enjoy the clear weather, then having some wet weather first,,,, and tell her that if it's raining you'll stay the day in the motel room,,,,, and now my advice cometh to the end, for if you can't carry on with the thoughts and actions you're not have the man I figured you might be, and this site is PG rated.
-
Now you tell me, and I haven't had any yet today,,, well I had a milk shake,, does that count???? and I have some Hagen Daus in the freezer,, will that do??? or do I have to go out for a banana split???

Suggestions for carb adjustments?
Marcarl replied to bkuhr's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
First off, get the seafoam through and cleaned out,,,, it just won't run right with seafoam in the mixture. Once you are down to fresh gas, pull the breather and check the diaphragms to makes sure they are all moving equally, if they are then sync the carbs, if not, you have a problem there, could be a bad seating or you could be missing the little O-ring that goes in the bottom. When you get through those checks, report back. -
Glad to see you made it home in good time. We got 'stuck' in Thornbury over night, man this place is busy, all the major hotels were booked full. Benefit was that our room was small!!!!! didn't take long to cool it down. Now for a leisurely ride home the rest of the day. Hope to make it before the rain hits, and so we can then say that we didn't need our rain suits for the whole week,,,,,, wow,,, what a great week!!!!!!!
-
Now Charlie,,,, what have you been up to,,,,, you were supposed to be at the rally, but I wasn't able to find you, or Four Paws either,,,, so now fess up, and tell us what you've been up to,,,,, we were worried sick about what happened to you,,,,, bad boy!
-
That's alright Wizard, you really wouldn't know what to do it anyways, 'course that would depend on what you wanted to win. thanks Leadwolf, you are to be commended!!!!!!!!
-
What??????????? There's FREE stuff???????????? I'm in, I'm in,,,,, where do I go, who do I see. Actually,,,, very nice unit you two, hope you can enjoy it a lot.

We are avoiding the slab like the plague, running just south of Flint, appreciate the offer, but there are 4 of us, and maybe we'll get there somewhat early and have to spend time in the pool so we smell nice and pretty for everybody. I'll have to see how it times out with all of us,,,,,,, and are you sure Leslie is ok with this????????
-
We're planning on leaving Sat in the am as well,,,, about 9 or 10, leisurely riding our way to Zombra, cross into a foreign country, shirt around Detroit, duck under Flint, and then meander over to Indiana. Should take some time so we'll have to sleep overnight somewhere,,,,, maybe they have over or under passes in that country,,,,, oh heck, we're on holidays, we'll find a motel somewhere, yep, and then we plan to arrive sometime Monday, just in time for the promised Potatoes at the creek!!!!!!!!

YEP,,, it means that the tube is open and working,,,, and,,,,,,,,,, that you can see,,,,,, and,,,,,,, that there was oil somewhere before

My next thoughts on making my 1st gen run quieter is to use a straight #50 diesel oil. I think all oil companies will promote their own oil and so convince us that what ever they are promoting is definitely the best for what ever ails our thinking at the time. It is true that one wants to stay away from ordinary car oil with all the additives, that are not present in diesel oil. I have used diesel oil now for 3 years with no problems with the clutch, but I have been using 20.50 or 20.40. Today I'm going to find me some #50 or #40 and see how that works out. Don't want to run this in cooler weather, but during the summer it might be the answer. My thought is to provide some cushioning effect for the straight cut gears in behind the clutch. Will let you know if it works. And if I don't make it to the rally, I will blame it on cupcakes with no cheesecake!!!!!!!

Flapping side panel
Marcarl replied to Saddle_Bag's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I used nothing when mine broke and got lost,,,,, so now it's easier to remove the panels,,,, and so far I have not had an issue with them flapping or threatening to go for a hay ride. But that's just me and my scoot, and I only have one,,,,,,, -
Nice paint job,,,, that's what I'm supposed to say,,,,right?????
