Looks like something we could join in on, but it would have to be a Saturday to give enough travelling time, although this Saturday is already booked. Don't know if ya'll want to meet any folks from The North Side, but we have been know to go South at times.

Hard starting after 6 weeks
Marcarl replied to timgray's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I never use any Sabil or similar product, but then I tend to ride once a month if possible and if not it''s only 2 months before I would ride anyways, but that' my situation and yours maybe different. I do try to fill my tank to the brim before a longer period of rest, but that doesn't always happen either. In your case I would drain the carbs a couple of times, put in some Seafoam, change the plugs and I think most of your issues will go away. I change my plugs every spring, whether I think they need it or not and don't have any starting problems. When I didn't change them, I always had\have a problem until I do. -

A prize like that needs to handled very carefully, and needs an expert with a knive to keep the value. Cooler has lots of room. Freezer is moose ready.

When Israel was a young nation, way back before Christ, God put some rules in place, one of which was that every 7 years the land would rest and everyone was to have a year off. Then every 50 years, that was right after year 49 (7x7) it would be a year of Jubilee, meaning that everything was returned to the original owner, no more debts, no more owing things, back to square one and a clean slate. Something rings a bell with me here, don't know what it is exactly yet, or maybe I'm just hearing things again.

Survey - Airbox holes
Marcarl replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I have not ridden my scoot with the airbox removed, but when I run it in a static situation it doesn't seem to effect it much if I take the box off or leave it on. As far as the 4 holes go, I'd honestly say I find not a noticeable difference, but then I don't drag race everyday and so require the utmost power output of the power palnt very often. This only happens when another 1st gen is in the area and I need to catch him, and if that happens than I always win. -
Insulated gloves, keep them dry, inside and out, (sometimes cornstarch on your hands before you put them in the gloves will help) and try to keep the wind off of them.

Can I ride it?????? Can I ride it???????

I'd say make it black and white with red all over,,, and maybe yellow pokadots for the bra and tank cover.

Survey - Airbox holes
Marcarl replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Drilled 4 x5\8" holes in the corneres of the lid, so that they're outside the filter. Can't say as that there seems to be any differnce. Course it runs fine without the air box as well, not quite as good but not a noticeable difference. She starts good, runs strong and I get about 280km \ 174 miles to the tank full, 15 liters = 3 1\4 Can gallons = 4 US gallons = 54 MPG in Canada and 43.5 in the warmer southern weather. Average speed is around 90-100 KPH or 55-60 MPH. Doesn't seem to matter much if I go faster, I just get there a little sooner and that's cuts in on riding time. -
Just thought is was more honest this way.

And once again our prayers were answered with the answer we wanted.

If you've asked Him for His guidance, it will be granted. I will ask as well.

I know it's been said but I said it again, everything needs to be clean, clean, clean. Time spent in cleaning and keeping things clean is soon earned back when everything goes together as planned. Also, the iron needs to be fully hot and big enough,, not too big but big enough to put out the heat needed. Not good to try to solder something with an iron that cools to quick and so doesn't have enough 'guts' to finished the job. When talking about irons, tip maintenance is also very important. The tip needs to be in total contact with the job at hand. If the tip is corroded (eaten away) (which happens) then there won't be enough contact for proper, speedy heat transfer and more parts than what is needed will be heated, causing more problems.

Funny that it should snow at this time of year. Has this happened before??????? Should I be concerned??????? Will it go away eventually or is this a permament thing and I should sell the bike????

If you are interested in a little ride there is a place on Hwy 20, just the other side of Bismark that is reasonably priced and does custom work. Wizard765 was pleased with what he got. Maybe check it out.

Information overload

Apples and Wine Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they'reamazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the living daylights out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
