I have been following this thread with interest. I have a similar problem. Carbs have been cleaned professionally and installed in my 87 venture.( Second time! ) But there is a great puddle of gas under the bike! Yes, float valves. Where can a person get new seats and needles? Or repair what I have? Or is there a trick to setting the floats ? My friend is very frustrated with himself and the bike! Third time out( carbs) and he doesn't want to work on them without having new pieces. Help?

Say, did you use the original swing arm or did you make a new one? I bought a project trike ( 83 venture) and I have been thinking of putting the backend on an 87 venture. The rear axel ( ford 7 1/2 is attached ) to the original swingarm but I am not sure that this is a viable solution. Comments? I am not trying to hijack your thread I am hoping to follow yours with great interest.

I wish for you good luck ( and good skill by your doctor). Hope you have fun looking for your new bike!

I have been trying to put in place the airbox assembly into an 83 venture. I cannot get those blasted hoses that goes from the box into their proper places . Anybody have any ideas to make the connections? I've worked on this and I have gotten nowhere! Help!

Everytime I look at it...... seems like an " interesting" project! -
Thanks for the help and suggestions. I haven't pulled the carburetors yet but it is on the agenda before snow flies. I'll keep you posted. I did put in a new fuel filter.... what a chore , mostly of my own making. I think it runs a bit better... Once again, thanks!

My new to me '83 venture that has been triked as as a project is still very much a project. To start, I need the airbox,filter holder, filter and top . I will need much more in the coming weeks If you have any of these parts please let me know. I'll be posting the pictures very soon. If you are counting this is my second project on the go. ( my wife sure is! )

Hold the phone! I went back to square one. The # 1 cylinder that I thought was suspect was getting warm, an the exhaust hot while the other three was not getting hot. So, I checked the other cylinders for spark with another spark plug and the spark was very good. I did this in turn separately with the same result. But there was no change in the way the way the engine ran. AHA! I pulled the spark wire on the #1 cylinder and the bike would not run. I then replaced the wire, and pulled the other three and the bike ran with little or no difference. Conlusion?The suspected # 1 cylinder was running and the other three were not . Now what? Its been an education! Please chime in!

Call me crazy... I was checking the cylinder that I thought was dead and it showed compression. I then looked at the front left cylinder and the plug was not connected! I then looked on the right side and the front plug was not connected as well! The right rear was connected. All the plugs were changed out , wires recut at the plugs . It started well, but the # 1 cylinder got hotter and that cylinder still showed no vacuum unless the motor was revved up a bit. Is it still a carb problem, a valve problem or?

I bought an 87 venture royale this spring that has been stored for two years. The owner said that the carbs were redone before it was put away.( Cost him 750$ .. I didn't see the bill) Anyway, I brought it home and have been playing with it ever since. There was fuel problems and I finally got the bike running. I put in seafoam, and naphtha and it starts up and runs not too bad.. but I think it is not firing on all cylinders. I hooked up my carbtune and I get no response from cylinder # 1 left rear . No vacuum at all. When started it up this morning, I checked the exhausts and the left rear got hot very quickly and the other three got slightly warm in the time I ran it. I checked for vacuum after changing the lines to the carbtune with the same result as before. I have just pulled the plug and it was slightly damp and somewhat black. This is where I am at now. What should I do now? Any specific tests , and order to help trace down the problem(s)? Help!

Thanks for ALL the suggestions. All taken under consideration! I did some bidding on sidecar in ND and it went up faster than a hot air balloon! I'll keep an eye on it anyway. Harvey

As for riding the royale, with one more wheel on the ground will help me out with strength and balance! I am going to check out the one in Grande Prairie. I checked with Norm in Regina and he wanted to sell the package without breaking it up. Thanks a lot guys. Keep it up! Harvey:mytruck1:

I have a new to me 87 venture royale that my wife will not let me ride! SO I am looing to get a side car or trike kit for it. I see there is one for sale in Huntsville. Any suggestions on having a look? And getting it up to northern north dakota? Anything else available ( Nearer? ) Harvey

Hey, has anyone been able to import/ export a triked bike into Canada? What if it is broken down into parts? ( Re kit? ) Age exemption? Any way? Just asking! H.
