Anybody interested in seeing the lake area or doing a little fishing I can have my fishing boat and hopefully the pontoon there. The pontoon is getting refitted now but should be ready.

Still don't know whats going on, but our room is booked and I know Joe and Deb are still going, so Kenlakes is still a go for us.

Any updates? Is it still a go?

We broke down in the middle of Yellowstone, you don't want to ever brake down in a national park. It cost us $800.00 to get towed to the east entrance and thats as far as the park tow service will take you. So we were stranded twice in one day. Called AAA to tow us to Cody about 42 miles. By the way, no cell service at the east gate area, had to use a pay phone because the jerks at the Resturant/ gift shop would not let us use thier phone. friendly bunch of people. AAA said they would pick up the bike but not us because of covid we could not ride in the truck. We got the trike and us back to Cody thanks to some very nice people who help us get back to cody to pick up my truck and trailer.

Thanks for the input. I took the cowling off, and it's an electrical plate of spaghetti under them, not gonna work. The carbs were rebuilt just before I bought the bike, but I can't be sure if they are to lean without an exhaust analysis, I'll try to find a dealer with the proper equipment to do that. I was wondering also about the deflectors that I've seen on some rad cowls, are the to deflect air inward or outward, and where can they be found ?

try mike eykamp, he salvages royal stars and is a good source of used and new parts.

had the same problem on the 99 several years back. burned up the whole connector. by the way you got off cheep for the tow out of Yellowstone, cost us $800.00 to the east gate, we were on our own from there. totally different problem when we broke down in Yellowstone.

So heres the thing about the tank vacuum vent line, down around the fuel filter or where the fuel filter is suppost to be is a tip over valve in the vent line. at the end of the metal tube coming out of the tank is a very small orifice, now take in the langth of the hose, thats a lot of stuff for enough water to travel through and contaminate several gallons of gas. the best way to see if you have contamination is to pull the hose off of the petcock, use a try clear bottle to collect a sample from the reserve position on the petcock. if you are getting water into the tank you will see water at the bottom of the sample. if you do have water you may look into the gas cap has being the problem.
