    You could try a local auto body repair garage. Or they could maybe send you in the right direction. You could use something maybe not the same but still work anyways. Best of luck.

    Glad to hear that he's alright physically, but mentally is a question. How much for a used bike???????and how much to repair???????? He's not a Dutchman, I'm sure of that.

    Ah come on, you could have dusted it for him. As for the rest: Diddo what Eck said and don't you go leaving us now, you'll miss being here and not be the same person.

    You took the words right out of my mouth, he wouldn't be in any danger at all, probably come back all blow dried off and warm as well.

    I would like to see those diagrams. When I check out my setup I look for what may constitute a noise suppressor but have difficulties seeing anything but wires and a connector. I really think they are pulling my leg by stating in the manual that there is a noise suppressor in that lineup somewhere.

    If you pick up the piggie the night before and let it warm up overnight, you will cut hours off of the cooking time. Just keep it wrapped in plastic, and throw a sleeping bag over it, but it needs to be a fresh piggie. Having it done too early is no problem, it can wait for an hour or two before carving. I would come and do the roasting, but I think it wouldn't get started until about noon. Half the fun is watching the piggie roast and the eating is much better right from the roaster so I suggest that the day before is not ideal, it's ok but not what you're looking for I think. If you want someone to carve it, I should be there in time to fix that issue, I do, did a few in my time. If you use brickettes with charcoal you find the heat is better and it extends the charcoal big time, use about half and half. 200 lbs souds like a lot of charcoal.

    I think you have a real problem and it's gonna take some real thinking to get a solution that works. Best get a think tank together and the best place would be on site, that way the issue can be viewed and discussed with out any delay. So you need to set up a date, probably this will be a 3 to 4 day affair, and invite the real thinkers or those who think they might be stinkers and get the job done el pronto. All meals will be provided of course and sleeping accomdations come as expected, along with an after lunch snoooze.

    If you go to stainless steel braided lines instead of the stock rubber you'll notice a real pleasant change and you'll never go back. You're rubber lines are getting old and so soften up and give a lot more now than when they were new. Even though they may not show signs of old age, cracking etc. I suggest you change them, it's a real difference.

    How about pepperette cheesecake??????????

    Maybe you're getting some fumes into the the rider area, but are not aware of it, that will give the same symptoms.

    What you do is make yourself a swing bridge with ropes, just for you and the scoot. That way when the floods come it will just swing with the water and will still be there when the floods reside. The only difficulty would be, learning to ride a scoot on a swing bridge, but then that would be a reason for lots of practice to get it right, and of course on the way out you can't just turn around and try again, you'll need to clean off those tires so they won't slip and that can't be done in only 2 miles, that takes a 100 or so. It's a win win.:lightbulb::happy65::whistling:

    My first thought was, who put in the wrong oil, ordinary car oil will make it slip. Change the oil, if it improves run it for about 200 miles and then change it again. The additives in car oil make the oil tooo slippery and cause the clutch to slip. Squidley means to say: change the oil. He must have been not too much awake for there is no clutch fluid persay, it's the oil that is also the clutch fluid.

    When you can see all of them at once, it doesn't matter where the timing mark is, what is needed is that the lobes are away from the lifters, at this point you measure and don't use the tool for this. It's really no different than doing it with rockers, but the adjustment is different, you need to replace the disc and that's where the tool comes in. So, you make a drawing (make sure you mark where the front is), number all the valves and cylinders leaving space for more important numbers, now you measure and mark down whether they are tight or loose and by how much. (When it's tight it's not always easy to figure how tight,use a thinner feeler and when it's loose you can use a thicker feeler to figure that one out). Now that you have that info you can take all the dics out that are out of speck. Each disc will have it's thickness stamped on the bottom, now mark down this number. From this info you can figure out what the new thickness needs to be and so you need to obtain these dics. If the numbers are worn off you will need a micrometer to measure them. Insert the new dics in the proper spots, turn the engine over a few times and check the clearances again. If all is well, you're done. Maybe more info than necessary, but I hope it helps.

    Be very careful not to drop any screws down in the engine area. I drilled off a pop rivet, didn't pay attention to where the leftovers went, then later went to change the plugs and the wrench wouldn't fit on the one plug, no matter how I tried and what I used, no luck to wrench the plug out. So finally I got a small pick and poked around in there and found the pop rivet end, another 15 minutes to get it out, but the problem would have been, had I been able to take the plug out it would have dropped in the cylinder and I would not have know it until it was tooo late. OH yes, I did blow out the holes first even though I thought they were clean because I just put the engine back in. Careful, careful careful!!!!!!!!!

    I got CLASS and I love it, but then I got Class:think:

    No problem here, some of us are more interested in this sort of thing and tend to remember better how it all goes, or maybe it's just the age thingie, I'm not sure which. Hope you can remember the right amount of turns.

    Wrong one old boy, that's the one for syncing #1 carb to # 2. The idle adjust is in between #1 and #2 carbs but just below and hard to see. You have to look from the bottom up and it doesn't have a screw driver fitting, it's a thumb screw adjuster. I tried to post a picture but that wouldn't work.
