Our own skydoc_17 makes custom brake line kits for the Ventures. I'd be willing to bet he'd make you up what ever you need as well. His products are top notch, high quality and his customer service is beyond excellent. On top of all that, Earl is just one hell of good guy!

My 1st gen was peppy when I bought it but not what I would consider fast, The fuel pump went out and I used the Mr Gasket pump, first time I rode it after that was HOLY SH!!!!!t this thing goes.

Good so far. On the cables going to the carb, the trick is to install the carbs partway, then hook in the cables and then finish pushing the carbs into their seating area, and then push them down on the intake with a little bit of help with WD40 or Fluid Film. FF is better.

if you replace the TDI, unless you can find a used one for stupid cheap, I'd highly recommend the Ignitech. Also, if you haven't done so already, relocate it to the top of the air box. It'll stay cooler, dryer and be much easier to access if need be.

I have had fuel line fail under hard acceleration, seems it draws a vacuum and collapses. It was a hard problem to find, it came about with a brake discussion and the old rubber expanding, lessening the effectiveness. a 83, certainly won't hurt to update fuel lines, lol.

You've done a good job of searching for a cause of your problem. I have to go with fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel line breaking down. There just isn't much left. TCI can't be the problem as you've installed two of them. Plugs and wires would cause missing but not complete high speed failure. Especially with four spark plugs to work with. So I'm thinking fuel. Trace out the fuel lines .You might as well replace them. @MarcarlNew filter and pump. Just read your last post. That red fuel line must be replaced. It has and will cause issues. It did on my 89. It was collapsing inside. I forgot about that! It may/may not solve your problem, but it was for me.

Well I suppose that it is easier to read all the dialogue in one post rather than over time in various posts, but you don't seem to realize that we thrive on helping folks fix things. Now you ticked us off by keeping us in the dark so to speak. What do you think we have all this knowledge base for? All categorized, filed, numbered, and color coded. The best answer I can give at the moment is in file drawer #14, color blue, PW 'asksomemore' . There may also be a copy in other drawers but they can't be opened presently for the case of covid security and border restrictions. Enough BS Hang in there, there will be plenty of suggestions coming your way, this one is super interesting. You have probably missed one dinky little item that needs a half turn adjustment. Couple of thoughts to get you started: When you did the carbs, how far did you tear them done, and did you use new gaskets. Did you check out the enrichment vales as well. Are they seated completely and properly in their boots, check them out again now. Did you clean the idle mixture circuit and how did you adjust it back to spec? Did you check out the stator output. What is your voltage at 5000rpm? Did you check out the grounds, especially the one at the right lower front of the engine? Are the battery terminals clean and tight, also check the terminal to cable connection. Check the fuel line from the pump to the carbs, is there a kink there somewhere. 3psi is not a lot of pressure, but it is spec and should work just fine. Seems like you have or gained a lot of knowledge in your process, Good for you!!! Trouble is, now that you have posted this, it becomes a challenge to some of us, and now you can't get rid of said unit until we get the issue solved or we'll be around to haunt you for decades.

Unfortunately I am grounded for a while. A small scrape on my shin ended up with an infection which turned into a severe case of cellulitis in my leg resulting in a 1-1/2 x 3 inch section of dead meat which had to be surgically removed. After eleven days of being hooked up to two portable IV units of two different antibiotics, I am now hooked up to a portable vacuum wound therapy unit. If I am lucky I may be able to squeeze a couple rides in near the end of the summer.
