Besides the above, yes that is the most likely cause for the leakage you describe...

Well, actually what happened is some insect decided to build a nest in the float vent hose for #1 and #2 carburetors. What happens is as the fuel pump fills the area, positive air pressure fills up the float cavity preventing the needle valve from closing off. The fuel pump is continuously pressurizing the cavity so where does the gas go?? through the ventura and into the upper cylinder area so that when the valve opens the combustion chamber gets waaay more gas than the required ideal 14/1 ratio, resulting in a less than ideal ratio which will not ignite as well if at all. This results in an extremely rich mixture which leaves the spark plugs with a black deposit and wet. I consider it amazing that the bike even ran on 2 cylinders much less was capable of speeds close to 60 mph...

Nah! Anybody can tell it is the end of a Zorch Strap... (any Zappa fans out there??)

Yup!!! When that beast want's to take a nap, let it!! It will stop at the crash guards...

Dang, I look good in that there 18 wheeler...

How did I miss this thread??? Looks great! I almost bought a Magna many years ago but bought a CX650 Custom instead. Looks like it fits her good, just about the right height!

When we finally meet in person, check my vest Mr. Pucster...

Oh?? You got some firewood chopped???

...and Mary!! Yes that is bubba!! Who else???

Actually I am considering some car mufflers to make mine quieter than a Wing...

Holy Cow!!! Good catch!! Sorry, I'm not an original but have been around before the great crash...

OK Start naming, starting with the surfer dude in the center, and where was it taken?

Uhhh, one of them is not wearing his glasses???

Jack, one of the things you will notice with the Voyager vs a true trike is the fact that with the center wheel being the drive wheel, and no differential, it requires more force to get one of the rear tires to slow down while the other one speeds up, the good old law of inertia! You will also discover you need a lot bigger turning radius. Keep the rear tire out of ruts too!! The Voyager is a lot cheaper than a conversion though!!

Yah! Put on a very enjoyable 100 miles yeterday and it's running fine, ready for the trip to Michigan next weekend!

Can't say as I blame you Gary, it was the same for me when I lost my toe back in '07! Went stir crazy and really wanted to ride..

As with anything in life, if you are not confident in your abilities, pay someone else to do it for you...

It's me on the 2nd gen I should have bought...

I expect it to be in the 60K range, waaaaay out of my budget...

There lies the key (or "There's the rub" for you literary fans) you can not use the original TCI as there is a resistance issue with the COP's and it may be too much of a load on the TCI and it may damage it...

You betcha Mark!!!

I might have a stock one still. We will be in Vermont early August and I could give it to Jonesy if you know him...

Yup, just went for a ride and it's running like brand new!!! Many thanks Neil!!!!!

Hey, at least it wasn't another to the big HD...

Hey, every day is a Holiday!!!!!
