disconnect the wires from the capacitor , take a screw driver being careful not to touch the metal shank and touch both poles on the capacitor(discharge it) take an ohm meter and set on 1k OHM put black on one post and red on other post if capacitor is good the needle should rise quickly then drop slowly if it doesnt the capacitor is bad (if capacitor is bulged on the end with the posts don't bother ...buy a new one)

"If everyone in the U.S quit buying gas there would be more supply than demand and the price would drop like a rock. Foreign country's would not and could not buy all the fuel we quit using. " Yup we finally found something that we agree to...LOL:whistling:

"The oil company's sell their products to the highest bidder. If you don't want fuel leaving the country all you need do is be the high bidder and you can do what ever you want with it. The reason we don't have the pipeline from Canada is politics not the free market. If you have evidence that the oil company's are price fixing bring it forward because that is against the law. Yes they sell to the highest bidder "europe" Be the High bidder? that's what one of our political parties want to do, make the U.S. fuel prices more in line with europe. Even though we go through all the risks refining the fuel... Yup pipeline was political "see sentence above" Never said anything about price fixing???

"If every country did as you suggest that we do, we would be so short of oil that we would all have bicycle pedals on our Ventures, and we'd be paying unimaginable prices for gas, if we could gt any. As someone stated earlier, it's mostly supply and demand. We (the world's people, and especially US) have not done much to curb demand, or to increase supply. We gripe about what it costs to drive our big vehicles with one person in them many miles to work or play, and keep right on doing it. It doesn't matter what product, service, or commodity we talk about, if people will pay the price being asked, the price isn't going down. It will go up until enough people stop buying. Careful what you wish for....... " If everyone in the us quit buying gas... the refineries would simply sell all the gas to foreign countries..........

"find a motor shop, pull the squirrel cage and take the whole thing in, they will slap a new motor in cheaper and set the wires so you just plug and go. These are common and should be in stock. " thats what i did, disconnect two wires, two screws slide fan unit out, take electric motor squrriel cage out of unit. take to PAM or other electric motor place and they can match Hp and shaft ... cost me about $105.....

Oil company's don't set the price of oil the farmers don't set the price of corn or wheat or pork belly's or orange juice. The price of everything is set by supply and demand and perceived price and demand. If I need hvac service and everybody is busy I will have to pay more to get service. If all the hvac company's have people sitting in the break room I can get faster cheaper service. Everybody complains because they don't want to pay the price but they want a raise they want to get rich but they don't want to do the work or take the gambles. What really gets me is when someone does the work and takes the gambles and wins they are sorry rich sob's. I respectfully disagree.... Oil companies... ie refineries in the US, are at this very moment selling our refined fuel overseas because they can get $5,$6 or even $7 a gallon instead of $3.50.... If they imposed a $5 per gallon export tax, or, did not allow our fuel to be exported...perhaps we could have gotten that pipeline from Canada... ....................... And our fuel prices would have dropped like a rock!

Everyone knows If you pull a DUI, that doesn't even involve a wreck or any physical damage, your rates will go thru the roof. Progressive has a device you place in your car that takes a "snapshot " of your driving for a possible discount. PEIA offers a discount for being a non-smoker(that way they didn't technically increase the rates for smoker). If you buy that, I have some land for sale...LOL PEIA also wants to offer discounts if you prepare a living will... Soon they will ask if you wear a helmet... Soon they will ask if you wear seatbelts... Soon they will ask if you talk or text on a non-hands free phone...... The health care costs in this country are spiarling out of control. Saw a program that said 10% of US companies will drop health care entirely within the next year. Like I said before: if we as a people cannot logically make some common sense decisions... Others (insurance companies/GOV/lawyers) will force theirs upon us.

PM sent. like Rick said: "I'm ready to Rcock n Roll!" Wooo Hoo!

Consider this... sell all but one(your favorite one) and use the money to buy a trike... or better yet buy a trike and keep them all! It's a win win situation:whistling:

With the drought this year desimating the corn crops, combined with the steadfast amounts of ethanol that are mandatory in gasoline, Get ready to hold on to your hat! You ain't seen anything yet. Food's going up Gas's going up and if isreal "pulls the trigger" all hell is gonna break lose.

Seriously though, Leo3wheel has a very nice trike although I can't seem to remember who made it.

I noticed a distinct increase in whine using yamalube 10-30 (they were out of 10-40). Do yourself and go with the yamalube 10-40.

"Just sell all of them First Gens and buy her a trike. The Warden gave you permission. " Skid, does this mean she would be willing to ride with Dan if he had a trike, or, she wants him to get someting he can safely ride thats faster and way more dependable?:witch_brew::witch_brew: Dan, Sometimes ya just gotta "Pull the trigger".

Not that i know of... You'd think they could grind them up and pit in our roads, playgrounds or around trees like they do in florida...

Bought a farm in March and discovered about 100 tires in various places. I gathered them up and stuck in a stall in the barn till i can find a place that takes them. :bang head:Tire shops want $5 .

I filed a saftey complaint against Yamaha about a month ago. Seems everyone I talk to with a V-star 650 is having final drive /differntial problems. https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/index.xhtml There are three of us here in Ripley that have had Final drive problems and all of us filed a comlplaint. all you need is the VIN number. This problem has been ignored by Yamaha for years started in 2002 if my memory serves me. Yes the Virago 535 pinion gear will swap out with the 650 and they were bullet proof??? File a complaint... If enough people do they will have to do a recall.
