    Since I used the seafoam, I have used 3 full tanks of gas. Should not be the seafoam at this point. I am left scratching my head. No fluid of any kind coming from the exhaust. Rechecked the plugs and wires. No fouling or discoloring. Synced and re-synced the carbs. Checked vacuum lines. Oil level is fine. Coolant level is fine. Neither are going down. Drained tank and replaced with fresh gas. Not using cheap gas. Have always used 91-93 octane. Trying to avoid pulling the heads. Seems like I am running out of options. Unless somebody else has an idea.

    No gas smell, and no coolant smell..... Just smells like exhaust really. Have not washed lately, and coolant levels are holding. No signs of a leak or any loss of coolant. No water vapor. Exhaust is dry. Longer it idles, the worse it smokes. I uploaded pictures of the smoking on here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=612&pictureid=3769 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=612&pictureid=3768 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=612&pictureid=3767 Check those links and let me know what ya think. The first is after it warmed up. It was at about 1800 rpm and smoking pretty bad. The second pic was during startup while temp was still cool. And the last was at 1000 rpm idle. Due to the shadows and the wind it appears that it is all coming from the right exhaust pipe, but it is not. It is coming from both sides.

    OK, bike was running a little rough. Decided to put new plugs in. Got the new plugs and put them in. Now bike is running alot smoother, but smokes very bad. It is white smoke, and gets worse when you hit the throttle. Idles fine, and holds a steady 1000 rpm at idle. Accelerates smooth and even. Just smokes very bad. Tried adjusting the carbs, did carb sync, and rechecked plugs. Not sure what the problem is. Ran seafoam, checked oil, all is well. After warming up, temp is in the normal range. No water in oil, no suit coming from exhaust. Just thick white smoke. Any help would be great. The weather is getting to nice to have a bike not in working order. Will be watching for a response.

    I can not seem to find a socket to fit. First socket was not deep enough, then bought a new socket, and it was too thick. Now I am scratching my head. The socket fits on the plug, but cant reach the plug. The outer wall of the socket is stopping it from reaching the plug. Any help?

    Is there a way to adjust the choke on a 1989 Venture Royale? Seems like it is running partially choked, but choke is all the way off. How can you adjust the choke?

    My 1989 Venture Royale seems to be using alot more gas than it should. It seems that I am only getting about 18-20 in town, and 23-25 on the interstate. I dont ride hard, or fast. I have also noticed that even after sitting over night, with cool air temps down in the low 50's to upper 40's I do not have to choke the bike to start it in the mornings. I do not mind not having to choke the bike, but I do want to improve the fuel milage. Any help with this issue would be great. Oh and there is a rattle in the exhaust chamber under the bike. I dont know if that would have any effect on the fuel consumption, but I figured I would include it. Thanks alot!
