    az1103... yer right, as a senior citizen, I wouldn't know what to do with new stuff Thom... Knew I was going to have to pull all that plastic...again BTW, it is receiving and it also transmits, there is just no squelch. You can turn the knob in either direction and it is like you had the squelch fully turned left. I can hear others transmitting for miles. But I will clean all the plugs and see what happens. The splitter is under the trunk, I think. I appreciate the help

    GeorgeS, I took your advice and have been spraying everything I can find but... I can turn on the cruise; all the lights come on, but pushing "set" no longer works. It used to work, although it would fall out now and then and the "resume" light would come on. I would reset it and it would work again. It won't set at all now. I have checked the clutch lever, sprayed the "set-resume"etc slider, cancel button, but I have not yet taken all that stuff apart. I have also adjusted and checked the brakes and throttle cables. Running out of ideas:confused24: The radio... works great except in the helmets. The left earpiece works, right one just barely. Does it in all the helmets but it works thru the speakers great. I suspect it is in the amp or one of the wires to/from the amp(the one in the left fairing) but I guess it could be in the radio itself. Got any ideas:think: And last but not least, the CB squelch don't work. It xmits and rec. just fine, both thru the speakers and headset(just the left one-see radio above) but it is always wide open squelch. Has anyone ever replaced the squelch pot. in one of these CBs Take any help I can get... TIA

    Sure... There is a plug at about the 3 o'clock position on the rear wheel part of the drive shaft assembly. The drain plug is on the bottom and there is a vent plug(breather)on the top. Anyway, fill the drive shaft up to the bottom of the plug threads with some 80-90 weight gear oil and you'll be good to go.

    Again, Because the story keeps changing, get all of the info you can get in writing! Our prayers do go out to you as these kinds of things put such a tremendous amount of stress on your lives.

    That's a totally cool idea. Would have never thought of that one. Think I'm going to wait 'till hurricane season is over and tear down the instrument cluster. I need to replace the bulb in the high beam indicator light thingy and grease the speedo cable anyway. I appreciate the idea tho:cool10:

    Thanks GW, I'll give it a go one of these days, although the Padre has a good idea as well; 140-150 hummm . I was going to put this in the Jokes/Humor section, 'cept it's true which prove the point truth is sometimes stranger(or funnier) than fiction:crackup:

    Seriously, I actually have a dead bug in my speedo. (See pic) Have no idea how it got there and I am not quite sure how to remove it. I assume I have to take the windshield off and the black cover off the gauges but now I get lost.

    This was posted by Associated Press today: "Wholesale gasoline prices on the Gulf Coast moved even further into uncharted territory to around $4.85 a gallon on fears of vast fuel shortages as the hurricane honed in on the mass of refineries that line the upper Texas coast. The region accounts for about one-fifth of the nation's petroleum refining capacity." That's the price dealers are paying for it from the suppliers. Doesn't suprise me to see stations charging over $5 a gallon. Happens everytime we get a hurricane in the gulf.

    I'm kinda with Squid on the lawyer but barring that, do try to get a copy of the police report. It is real important to know what was written down, which does not always jive with what was said and should something in the future come up and records are reviewed, then you know what the official record says.

    They had a pic on the WX channel of waves breaking over Shell Island at Panama City... That almost never happens. If any of you folks are near the Texas coast, please head inland. We can fix your stuff but we can't replace YOU.

    If those cables are as old as your scoot, then they lasted pretty good. You can get new ones a either http://www.sierra-mc.com/products.asp?cat=18 or http://www.twowheelsound.com/index.html .

    Another avenue would be Small Claims Court. They are different in each state but they usually deal with civil suits of $5,000 or less and usually you don't have to have an attorney(in some states, you can't have one). It may not work in this case but it may be an option.

    mtman replied to Kregerdoodle's topic in Watering Hole

    If you happen to forget the pre-sprays and the bugs make a mess of your scoot, use dryer clothes softener sheets; the dry ones you just throw in the dryer. Get them wet first and the bugs come off fairly easily. Doesn't much matter what brand you use; I get mine from the dollar store

    All Venture parts from 86 to 93 will fit a 90. Some(but not all)83 to 85 parts will also fit Now about the back rest; they make a really good one for the 1st Gens at Utopia http://www.utpr.com/venture.html . When you get to the page, go to the bottom to "specifications" button and click it. They have some real nice close up photos of the back rest:thumbsup2: (No I don't own stock, darnit)

    I got some of that Blue Magic stuff but haven't tried it yet. I also got some stuff called Waterweld from the makers of JB Weld and I have used some of it. Seemed to work so far and I have been pleased with JB Weld over the years:thumbsup2:

    Did you flush all the old brake fluid out of the rear system? You might have some gunk in the rear system that's plugging up those tiny holes and not letting the full pressure get where it needs to

    Be glad to send it your way. It's so wet and soggy here the birds all have life jackets on:250:

    BTW Johnnie, if you need another one, you can use a NAPA 3007. It's a lot cheaper than one from a stealer

    I agree with Dan... take your time to have a very good look at everything. I would look at it as if it were a new scoot that I had never been on before. Using the owner's manual as a check list, I'd go over everthing to see if/how it worked

    Well, if she hangs a left at your house ruff, then I suspect I'm gonna get a taste of her as she comes west thru the panhandle. Ain't lookin forward to it as we been having T'storms daily for what seems weeks and got about all the water we need for now:whistling:
