It sure is tough to read of these happenings. There seem to be good stories coming out about how the Covid thing is being beaten and held back, and others about how Covid seems to be raging ahead, but none as bad as India so far. Slowly the our general population is starting to come to realize the need in India. They are humans, created in the image of their Creator, and we need to show them our love. It's not always easy to love someone or somebody, especially if they live a totally different life than we do, but we need to do it, if for no other reason than that we are very well blessed. In the process of helping them in this life, we might also be able to guide them to a new life beyond this one, where there is no more pain or suffering. What a blessing that would be!!

Careful or he would be one dead sas....

maybe

The longer the tongue the more the trailer will cut the corner. Important thought when you only have 2 wheels pulling. Don't want the trailer to get hung up on something and jerk the scooter.

Replace the plugs, you'll like it just fine!

Somethin ain't right, I agree and would not trust that master cylinder. It may be the rubbers and then again it might not be.

Tell B2Dad happy birthday from us. Good to hear that he is getting older.

Secured to the front of the bike, could be anywhere, but what ever you it to, can't move and needs to be solid, like part of the frame.

How did I know you were going to say that?

Not saying I would attend, would like to though, but I think you have an awesome idea!! Go for it!!!

Try moving the 'choke' lever in and out and follow the movements of the linkage.

Gotta start from scratch and that would be the gas tank. Need to eliminate that you might have some water in the bottom of the tank, so chuck in a bottle of methyl hydrate, called gasline antifreeze. That will soak up the water to clarify that part of things. Yep, check your plugs, although I doubt that to be the issue. Just because you had work done on the carbs doesn't mean anything useful was accomplished. Make sure that the enricher valves move all the way in when you push back the 'choke' button. Pull and push on the choke and watch that the valves actually move all the back to seating at home.

Let's put it this way. If everything is hunkie dorrie, then when you adjust the idle mixture screws there should be a change in engine rpm. You say that's not happening, well then things are dorrie hunkie. Seeing as the idle mixture circuit is hard to clean, I can understand that many times the side port is not cleaned in the rebuild process, yes the port going into the throat of the carb gets cleaned, and that is what you can see, but you can't see the port on the side. If that is plugged or restricted, the idle mixture screw will have little impact. Just for fun let's go over this again. Balance the carbs to perfection, not to the point of 'good enough' or ' that is the best I can do' , you want them all at the same vacuum level. Now with the gauges still attached, play with the idle mixture screws. Gently turn them in until the vacuum starts to drop, then back them out and you should see the vacuum come up, keep backing them out until the vacuum goes down once more. The half-way mark between the changes is the sweet spot. If you have no change in vacuum then the idle mixture circuit is not working.

Did you set and clean the needles yet?

So what bike does this fit? or what did it come off of.

Something to keep in mind is that you either want the bike or you don't. If you want to keep it for future needs, the price is higher, if it's time to send it away,,,, get ride of it, 'clean the place up' and live happier. If you are thinking this could be a fund raiser, it might help but should not be the end goal. IMHO.

Maybe it works this time.

Ben maybe (I said maybe) the king of hugs, but she has actually joined me on my 85 for a good half half hour. That girl is an excellent passenger!! I really couldn't say anything else, after all, it's her birthday.

Part #49?

I guess then, seeing as you are wishing things for her, I can as well. Happy Birthday Bev, and wishing that you may have many more yet keeping that man under control.

What's neat about the 4 carb setup is that you take one apart and then you can put it back together as you 'destroy' the next one. Before you do though, maybe get some carb cleaner, remove the needles and inject the cleaner into the now open port. Keep in mind that there are 2 openings in that port, one goes directly into the throat and is fed by one opening off the side of the port, Somehow both need to be cleaned. Inject the cleaner, wait a while and then shoot again and again. Give it about 2 hrs to complete. Then shoot it with a shot of air to complete. Put the needles back in til they gently stop, back out 2 turns and then reset at 900 rpm to highest vacuum. Each needle has a teeny tiny washer next tot eh spring and an even smaller o-ring. Don't loose them.

Wow Gary, haven't seen you around for a while!! GOOD to hear from you again. Suggest OEM plugs. And a hotshot cleaning of the carbs.

Make sure you measure the frame after you get it straight, bet the one side will be a bit longer than the other, so you'll have to compensate with mounting the axle of it will fishtail on yah.

Yep, I would say that your rebuilt carbs were not so rebuilt as one would have thought you to believe. If me was closer, then we'd get 'er done. Now if you move to Ontario and enjoy life..............
