I have that same trailer. So far no problems with it. Over the winter I added a swivel hitch that I found on Ebay.

It took me a lot of broken DMV transactions to start remembering to carry that particular form with me. -

Lost my Son

Naturbar, I am so sorry for your loss. Ray -
Mine is cracked and rattles. I could probably remove it but I would like have one if someone has one for sale. I looked but couldn't find a part number for it. Thanks! Ray

I agree with you. Thats why I made up a 4 port T fitting to check my Carbtune using one vacuum source. Fortunately they all registered the same reading. I'm not sure what I would have done if they didn't. Maybe a restrictor? I'm not sure why Goose doesn't like the Carbtune. Mine has worked great for the handful of times that I have used it. Does the Carbtune have a reliability problem? Of course I always have the mercury sticks if the Carbtune fails

What were they thinking?!!!

I had a similar rant a coupe of weeks ago when I did my starter. What were they thinking! -
The fix was just too easy. When you remove the master cylinder cap you find that the boss is level with the top of the master cylinder. This is good because it is not submersed in fluid. I took a piece of duct tape and covered the top of the MC. I cut a small opening in the tape to expose the stripped hole. This was to keep all of the crud and chips out of the fluid. Then I drilled the hole and tapped it for the heli coil. Sorry for the bad picture but this is me tapping the hole. I wanted to keep the hole clean so I didn't use grease on the tap. I just blew the chips out using canned air. http://www.raymondstacy.com/tap.jpg I removed the tape after screwing in the heli coil and breaking off the tang. http://www.raymondstacy.com/tap2.jpg The reservoir was clean and crud free. The new new threads worked great. We are back in business and ready to ride.

Thanks Andy. I am going to have to do something similar. Both of my side vents are gone and it gets warm and uncomfortable in the summer. I like it during the colder days so what ever I do, it will have to be removable.

Im anxious to see what you did but the pictures arent working.

As I recall from having the cover off, the boss sticks up and for the most part is above the fluid level. The threads are pretty much gone. Right now I have a longer 4mm screw in there but it is bottoming out and not letting me tighten the cover as much as I would like. Any shorter and the screw wont really bite. I have a 4mm helicoil kit. I'm not sure if the boss has enough meat for the helicoil but I will probably give it a shot. I will drain some fluid and make some kind of shield to catch the metal chips.
