We're almost back home from our trip to Austria. Today we left Austria and did a great 10-hour tour in France and Germany. 1 liter gas (0,26 gallon) =  $ 2,42 !!!! It's getting an expensive hobby.

Tomorrow 300 miles and we're back home.

Sounds really expensive. Last year our prices were around $1.25L, this year $2>$2.25L. Big jump! And it doesn't cost anymore to get it out of the ground.

Today we've installed a new fuel pump. The flow of the gas is perfect again.

Starting the bike is not. The Venture only starts and runs when we put some gas in de carbs. The flow of the gas to the carbs is good.

So we have a job to do this Saturday: getting the carbs off the bike and clean the gas lines. Keep you guys posted!

The renovated carbs are ready to assemble again. Needles, gaskets etc. are new. Steel parts are powder coated and everything looks fine. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Well, we had some rough weeks over here in Pays-Bas. Due to my ignorance using 10-year old yellow Aspen 4, the 4 carbs clogged up totally (on the left 'Aspen', on the right fresh '98).

We renovated the carbs completely; removed all the parts and frame, cleaned them and ordered some spare parts. With some help of our local hero 'Danny's Motorservice' we put everything together and finally today: white smoke! (not literally.........)

 

This weekend we will post a video with the Yamaha back on the road, exact a year after starting the renovation.
