Nice work guys!

If there is air in the system then you are more likely to find that it won't disengage rather than engage fully. My thought would be that you may have missed something on the install. Did you use the half plate or go with the whole plate in the back of the pack. Did you soak all the plates in oil before install? Which brand did you put in?

Lookin good so far. I got me one of those hoists, lifts 600lbs and I just stuck it to my rafters. I can unload my truck and pick things up from the ground. I just have to remember it's there when I could use it. Yours looks quite handy.

But it's not easy when you only have yourself to deal with. There just seemed to be no opposition and nobody even offered an opinion. I even took a nap to see if the feelings would go away, grabbed a coffee, had a cookie, checked the news and the feelings was still there. Even paid some overdue bills and that didn't help one bit. Maybe if I wait a bit more, maybe 12 months or 52 weeks, maybe even 365 days then I won't have this feeling anymore, but I got a feeling that it will reoccur again. You see, it happens every year on this date lately and it's all due to FaceBook, so not really all my fault,, it's their fault. I just have to do this in order to get past this feeling, sooooooooooo HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREEBIRD!!

Movin on, still looking good. Worst part will be when it's all together and there is this one part that still needs a home,,, and you just know where that will need to go eh?

Best turns some wheels,,, poor thing, at this rate it will die before her time. Be nice and RIDE IT!!

Put the valves and springs back in, turn head upsidedown, fill the cavities with water and see if there is a leak in an hour or so. I know it sound strange but it seems to work. Water will leak down if there is a gap.

Each has it's uses.

Took a deeper look at your picture. If you look again you will see one tab that is in the open position and the other is closed against the bolt head.The closed one needs to be brought back so that you can install a wrench on the head. If you consider both tabs you'll also notice that either one or the other can flat fit against the bolt head, this is so you can use either one depending on the position of the head. These tabs are a part of the washer under the bolt head and will have an anti-turning pin in the hole.

They seem to be both ways but mostly they tend to stay put. Guess we'll have to wait for an expert to join in.

Those are metal tabs that prevent the bolt from turning so that it won't loosen and come out. Take a screw driver and hammer to flatten them out away from the head.

The 'chock' cable is not really a choke, it's a fuel enricher and so I go with @Freebird that it may be some dirt in the enricher circuit.

I guess that means you are welcome, so seeing as I don't want to be left out,,,, Welcome!!

You've got it: luck, and I think you've hit on something that will be attractive for sure.

We have different riders for sure, but I have never seen anybody get upset over somebody leaving the group to ride their own ride. I come from away and going to where it's at.

My experience?: It's good for a couple or three days, some may have organized events or places to go to, others not so much, with VR it usually is not an expected thing to join in whatever may be planned, but it's enjoyable to participate. Mostly things are quite safe, except when Canucks show up, then the table is open.😁. In Oregon you should be fairly safe though. It's a great time to get to know other folks that you only have typing experience with, although there may even be some surprises. Nice thing is, there is always somebody else to talk to when the subject turns to matters of unexpected interest. Sometimes a communal meal is organized, sometimes not. These meals are also a good time and helps you to learn more about others, especially when they buy you too much beer. You can come and go as you please, come as late as you want or leave before you get there. Sometimes there are spontaneous rides or just a ride to get ice-cream. Occasionally there might be a mechanic available and if not there is at least one or two who think that #3 is good choice for messing things up. If it is anywhere near me,,,,,, I'm going.!! VR meets are GREAT!!

It might be helpful if you give more of an explanation and more pictures. I don't think any of us are very familiar with how that unit goes together.

We all do things differently, that doesn't make you or me wrong, just not the same.

Now if it were my bike, in the fall after last ride, I would fill the tank, add stabilizer or SeaFoam, close everything up nice and drain the carbs, then see you in the spring. I'm thinking that by running it, even to the point you said, will only semi-warm up some of the internals or externals just enough to have moisture cling to or migrate to them, and that causes problems.

Some will say things about ethanol being a culprit, drying up and leaving residue, and that might well be the case. If it is then some carb cleaner in the fuel could clean that up for you. Lots of cleaner, little bit of fuel, so a rich mixture. I lean toward having some of those dried up rubber particles ending up in the carbs and to fix that would mean removal and cleaning. You would not be the first one to have that happen.

They leak because the o-ring gets old, so you will need a new o-ring. I believe they just pull out and the cover holds them in place, but somebody else will have a better insight into that.

Have to,,, otherwise some Dutchman would drink it all.

Not going to invite you over here again, you'd drink all of my beer.

Ooo wow! This year already,,, NIIICE!
