UncleDJ, I just bought a 2006 5th wheel camper. The battery was dead. Checked it out and found it was boiled dry. The converter (120VAC to 12VDC) was bad putting out nearly 18 volts. I guess the PO was pretty lucky he didn't burn it down. You might want to check your d/c output if you plug into an a/c electric box.

I got to see them work this afternoon with a little encouragement. @skydoc_17 is in the process of hooking me up with some new gear.

They will move with the air box off if not binding. If they are try spraying a bit of sea foam on them and gently try moving them a few times with the flat side of a large screw driver and they should slide back in place when you remove the screwdriver. Its not uncommon for them to stick sometimes usually if the bike has been sitting. If they still wont move freely remove the sliders and check for debris in the bore or on the sliders. If they move freely with the screwdriver and return freely on their own check the diaphragms for holes or tears

I agree I had friend who built up a 69 charger R/T to the point were it belonged on the track not on the road. Not long after he sold it to a guy who we found out later did not buy it for himself but for his kids 18th birthday. That kid had not been behind the wheel 20 minutes when he put his foot in it lost control and wiped out. The ambulance had to be called and the son ended up spending some time in the hospital. My friend felt real bad and told me later if he had known the guy was buying the car for his kid he barely had time behind the wheel he would never have sold it to him.

Don't need to modify.The starter clutch is a different issue all together.

I went one better, I bought a newer Venture V-sar 1300
