    US Army Jun '67 to Jun 70. Basic Ft Dix NJ. Spent a year at Ft Bliss TX for radar repair school. Got assigned to a Nike-Herc base in suburban Philadelphia area for a year, got in a little trouble so they shipped my butt over to Viet Nam with the 101st Airborne at Camp Eagle 15 miles south of the DMZ where I was a Radar O'Reily (Battery Clerk and Personnel Specialist) from Jul 69 to Jun 70...

    Greg, the tuner part won't work for you, our frequencies are different than Europe's...

    BJ I agree with you about the 49'ers. The 'Hawks vs Falcons should be one heck of a game to watch. I'm rooting for Seatle but think Atlanta may come out the victors...

    Yah! We both had our flu shots but both have had some kind of a bug...

    Hmmmm, I wonder if Dingy counted me as a 1st Gen owner or a 2nd Gen owner!! The one should cancel out the other, shouldn't it?!!?

    Holy cow, Paul, it looks like you have a handgun strapped tro your knee!!

    PS the idle jets should be set up properly with a CO "sniffer" by monitoring the exhaust gas from each cylinder after the carbs are close to sync if not completely sync'ed, although several members have just set them equal by turning them exactly out the same number of turns, 2 1/8 I think. They are below the diaphragm covers and hidden under a rubber plug...

    No, that is in the upper fairing near the right turn signal. The vacuum advance is underneath the battery box right next to the stock location for the TCI. It "reads" the vacuum and then sends an electrical signal to the TCI to advance or retard the spark depending on what is needed. If that is disconnected it will run crappy including at idle. Not sure which hose goes to the advance on the '85 because they added that emissions canaster on the sidde with the '85 model. Now, there are small diaphragms on the carb idle circuit as well that could be bad as well. There is a lot to those carbs that need attention. The symptoms the owner is experiencing sound like either a vacuum leak or something up with the primary idle circuit of the carbs. As far as syncing the mechanical setup at assembly is very important as well as the dynamic syncing of the carbs when running. I guess the next questio9n should be were the carbs disassembled or were the diaphragms removed while keeping all 4 carbs together as an assembly. Another problem area is where the carb bases mate up with the cylinder heads. There is a rubber o ring at the base of each of them, and they can dry rot or develop leaks. The carb bases themselves have also been known to leak...

    Like this??

    No, I'm saying talking at any inatimate object is the same whether it is a wall, a lamp, a table, a chair, etc. Of course these objects don't talk back, unlike wives and children! Perhaps we need to all gather around a table setting on chairs and talk to each other as in have a discussion which involves more than one person (or personality for those that have discussions with theirselves) whereas talking only requires one person. Perhaps we could set at my kitchen table and have a discussion...

    I was not talking about the emissions canister, I am rreferring to the vacuum advance module that sets under the battery next to the TCI. I wish I still had the '85 so I could run out and take pictures for you...
  13. bongobobny
    Well, talking at a table is probably just as effective as talking at the wall...

    That is a distinct possibility Miles, and I would indeed love to see it. My gut feelings are that the Broncos are on a roll and they got a lot of heart and I really would not be surprised to be this year's Super Bowl winner. It comes down to the old "any given Sunday" theory. Yes, when not rooting for the Bills I do like the Seahawks as well! We are getting the Head Coach for Syracuse for our new head coach. Not a bad choice but I think we could have done better...

    I don't know, the negotiations are going to be tough being an international issue. I'm thinking it's going to take more than ice cream to reach a settlement...
  16. bongobobny
    Ummm, one of the hoses from a carb on the left side goes up to the vacuum advance module mounted next to the TCI...

    Perhaps this guy had a little too much Black Death??? http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/raging-airplane-passenger-duct-taped-seat-165526162--abc-news-topstories.html

    Sooo, it should head towards Florida first then migrate north east??
  19. bongobobny
    No, the incadescent bulb draws a lot more current, so the 330 ohm resistor will drop more voltage across it, and the wattage will be more. It would also slow down the turn signals as well. Switch to a LED...

    They do tend to accumulate, don't they Brad?!!? I ended up giving the '85 and all my extra stuff away just to get rid of it to a co worker. I need the mounting hardware for the '85 trunk...

    Hey! This is starting to sound like "How many states can we send Annie's trailer thru before she gets it!"
  22. bongobobny
    We're bundled with Time Warner and TV, internet, and unlimited phone runs me around $145/mo. Pricey but it does provide us with unlimited entertainment and convenience...

    Hey 'gimp you're going to find out we are more than a website, we are a big family! When and where did you serve? I'm a Viet Nam vet myself...
