1969 huh? Was he a prophet as well? How soon before someone decides that 'under God' must be removed? How little attention is paid to that statement today, and yet look how far our countries have come under that statement. Yes a true comedian, didn't need to climb all over somebody else to gain a good clean laugh. The good olde days.

Rear tire removal - HELP!
Marcarl replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You've got all the best info so far, lots of ideas. If all that don't work, buy yourself a 'parts bike' and then rebuild the parts bike with the parts off of the present one. I hear that in some cases this works. -

Help - Replace desiccant in 1989

Now just put the marbles in the microwave for about 2 minutes until they turn blue again, and they are as good as new. -

A few Q's on my 2nd gear fix
Marcarl replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Just to emphasize this: the half washers are only one half per part bag. So if you ordered only 1 than you'll have to order another to get the complete set. Just don't know what some bright stick was thinking on this one?????????:think: -
New Q's on 2nd gear
Marcarl replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If they are halves then halves they are. They don't come with a full retainer because only half is needed. I went and bought a new bearing from the bearing store, same exact number but the retainer was full but a fair bit thinner, so had to wait for a real Yammi one that came without the half retainer. So much for experince. -
green puddle.........
Marcarl replied to dr.nemo's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Opps,,,,,,,,,find out where exactly it's coming from and maybe we can help. Let it sit in the same place and keep an eye on the floor. Some leak a bit now and then, and then not for a long time. Could be the rubber O-ring on the plastic elbow coming from the front of the waterpump, or could be the waterpump seal. Both are somewhat common and not expensive or hard to fix. -

Forever Bleeding (brakes)
Marcarl replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Sorry I'm so long getting back to you, had some work to do on Scamper tonite. If the calipers are slow to return, the master is not, so a vaccum is created in the system and the easiest place to get air is past the seals in the master. From what you lastly posted, I would take off the calipers, give them a good going over with new kits and clean up the cylinder with a hone, there must be no pit marks or scratches in the cylinder. Put it all back together and you should be home free. Everything needs to be clean, clean, clean. Brakes are nothing to fool with, with out them working perfectly you'll be riding a wild ass torpedo. -

Marcarl replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
First of all, if you are getting air into the system, it' got to come from somewhere. Either the calipers, or the master. Most likely the master, for as the piston moves back it either sucks the fluid back, that should be under pressure form the calipers or it will suck air into itself if there is not enough pressure from the calipers. Bleeding does not seem to be a problem if I read your post correctly, you are getting a firm pedal and that means, no air, and no air is no air. Check out your master, by pushing it in and then slowly, very slowly releasing it. If you do this a number of times and get some air it would indicate a problem in fluid return, which could come from a stuck caliper, or it may be the rubber lines losing their elasticity. Also check out the rubber line from the reservoir to the master, make sure the clamps are tight, don't just feel them, actually tighten them. If you at can see your way to do it, get steel flex brakes lines, I did and what a diifference. I'l never go back to rubber. -

Oh, we all take our hands off the bars for many reasons, but if we were to use them for keying a mic to say something, what do you think will happen when we need our hand elsewhere, real quick? The first reaction will be to finish what we have to say, in a hurry maybe, but it will at least be given some thought, and that takes time, precious time which we can ill afford in a critical moment.

Sooner or later you are going to want to do 3 things at once, pull the clutch, put on the brakes and talk into the mic. So which one are you not going to do????????seeing as the mic is already in your hand??????. You'll waste precious parts of the 2 seconds or less that you have to get out of trouble, that's why I no longer have that setup, it's just toooo dangerous. May be fine for a long time, but it's trouble in the making.

Yes, I checked out Blondie and she does have what it takes, but the oil would all come running out if I took it off, and then the owner would become suspicious. And no, I'm not about to change his oil either, it's too fresh in my mind what happens when you go to change the oil. Not changing the oil no more,,,,ever,,,,,,well ????????? Thanks to Freebird a replacement is on the way and his greenhouse is going to look a little cleaner.

Avon Venom-X MT90B16 won't fit
Marcarl replied to Trimster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Take a propane torch, squirt some propane into the tire, pull back, light the torch, flash it at the tire, and pronto, it's mounted.
