    Sounds to me like you're getting ripped off severely. Don't know what you paid for them, and I guess it wouldn't matter anyways, but if you would like and it would be cheaper, you could try to ship them to my place and then I ship them to you. Let me know how and if that works out. Carl

    Plastic bags are there to slow the evaporation of the cleaner so it works longer. The air box comes off kind of easy, take off the top, remove air filter, loosen all the clamps at the carbs and lift it away, this also takes apart the PVC hose and that will be the PITA when you go to reinstall the air box,, but tooo bad, it's the only way to properly get at the carbs for injecting the cleaner. How to remove the diaphrams: there are 2 articles in the tech section showing how to do this,, keep an eye on the small rubber o-ring at the bottom of the cover,,, you'll need those when you go to put things back together. Hope this helps. If you need more help MD is June 06 and I'll be there with a large hammer. lol

    You are most likely getting the sound from the frame. Either your high tension are running too close to the frame or your intercom wires are running along side the frame. Try getting one or the other away from the frame, or else creating a shield for the intercom wire.

    Best I can say for this is,, take the cylinder apart and all may be well with you. You do need two seals, one seals the piston inside the bore and the other is a dust seal to keep it all clean and tidy. Hope this helps. carl

    These babies are known to be tempermental to start. Some start best one way and others are completely different and then let them sit for the winter and they take on a whole new character. When cold though,, full choke,crank once or twice, then half choke and she should fire, then and only then do you touch the trottle. Maybe that will help. I had problems with 2 of my carbs last year,, it ran sooooo bad at idle that I had to keep it running out of the idle circuit or it would stall,, maybe even 3 carbs,,, it was bad,, but I had no time to take it all apart and do a proper carb job,,, weather was good and it was time to ride. Soo when I came home,, 10:30pm, the covers came off, the air box came off, the diaphrams wear removed and I went ot work with a can of carb cleaner. Every little hole I could find was filled and refilled and blasted through with carb cleaner,, then I stuffed plastic bags in all the holes and ports and went to bed. Next evening I did the same thing, but then I also blew things out with a little air, about 40 lbs presure,, and I was carefull,, then some more carb cleaner,,, then the diaphrams went back on and I fired it up,,, it never started or ran so good as long as I've had it. Maybe something you could try. Carl

    Don't remove the anti dive, it's fine where it is, doesn't need anything, isn't in the way and it will only buy you trouble if you remove it, just remove the brake lines.

    Keep in mind that the mixture screws all not all that important,, they only come into play at idle. That's when the primary circuit is being used. Once above 1500 rpm's the primary circuit is no longer in play and so the mixture screw setting has no bearing at that point or above.

    I'm not sure about the crack in the rear, all we really got to see was pretty well worn and maybe ready for some 'retreading'.

    I think you have a point here. I can get one tank full from my stock seat and then my butt aches, it's not my tail bone, it's my hip bones. Last fall 3 of went for an all day ride, it was cool and I was cool so I wore my skidoo suit most of the day. It's slippery on the outside and so I think my butt moved around some. I didn't even think of a sore butt that day. Like I said, I think you have a point. The corbins are hard so you don't sink in and saty put and the cover let's you slide a litlle from place to place. Did I say I think you have a point?

    Friends of ours took the scoot, an 84, to Canadian Tire one day. While inside he decides it's a good time to stock up on oil, seeing as it was on sale. They come out with 8 'gallons' plus whatever else they had gone in for. As they came out to the parking lot looking for their Suburban, they all of a sudden realized that it only had 2 wheels today. Took them a while, but it all went home in one trip, although I think she carried something.

    Forget about the color, just paint the whole scoot brown and it'll be faster.

    Maybe you should change your screen name to sailor.

  23. Marcarl
    Let's see: Bob to Carl Carl to Andrea Andrea lives in Ottawa May take some time, but you never know.
  24. Marcarl
    You should maybe start a new thread on your issue, so it don't get lost in the shuffle. Then you will get more pointed help.

    Looks like an '85 with a shorty windshield, and a rider that doesn't like the cold in his face.
