As one of the old long distance riders used to say - "You can only have too much gas if you are on fire." If you are riding one up, I suggest going to an auxiliary gas tank mounted on the passenger seat. It is easy to plumb in by installing a T between the petcock and the fuel pump. Gravity feed. I had a 5 gallon spun aluminum tank mounted on a board (was actually cut from a support board under the belt from an old treadmill). Drilled holes to mount U-bolts that clamp around the passenger grab handles. Solid as a rock.

I'm pretty sure it's coming from the shift shaft area. I will check the stator grommet and wiring. Thanks for the tips!

Now there is a double oxymoron, mental and health? and then listening for a Dutchman? There's truth in the figuring out statement though.

I have a Lomax trifold. Flip twice to use 2/3 of the bed or pop the front latches and it lifts out in seconds. I’m very happy with it.

I think I figured it out. I'll give details tomorrow.

I just wrote this for someone on Facebook and thought I would copy/paste it back on here. I know we have talked and talked and talked about this over the years but,, being new here again I thought I would stir the pot this morning a little by reposting it again.. Admin,, sure you dont wanna rethink not having me sign I contract I wouldnt cause trouble? LOL ""Pull the bikes side covers so carb slide covers are accessable, pull the slide covers on the carbs n remove diaphrams/slides (good time to check diaphrams for pin holes/tears), open the drains on the carbs, go to ag store and purchase large syringe for horses, pick up carb cleaner (I use spray carb cleaner from AutoZone but have also used B-12 very successfully and even Chem Dip (BUT you have to be careful and work fast with Chem Dip!). Inject carb cleaner thru the drain hoses into carbs one at a time until the carb cleaner comes out of the hole that the slide needles go into in carb body one at a time and then close the drain when the cleaner drips out of hole. This will assure carb is filled with carb cleaner. Let the carb cleaner set in carbs for at least 24 hours UNLESS your using Chem Dip! With Chem Dip, 20 minutes MAX! After sitting for 24 hours, hook syringe back up, open drain and pull cleaner from bowls with syringe and pump syringe to agitate cleaner in carb bowls. After agitating suck cleaner out of carb bowl(s) disgard. Fill syringe with raw gas, inject raw gas into carb(s) until it comes out of diaphram needle hole and agitate. Suck raw gas out and disgard. replace carb parts, check the slides to make sure they move freely in carb bodies, put covers back on over diaphrams. Make sure slide springs are same length, make sure the little oring under cover is in place. close it up, make sure drains are closed, turn on ignition and fill bowls with fuel pump by toggling kill switch until bowls are full (when fuel pump stops clicking). Crank her up and spit check headers to see if its now running on all four while starting with cold engine. I also like to do new plugs and clip off 1/4 inch of each plug wire at spark plug caps if corrusion is present before I start it up too and sync the carbs when done."" ReplyForward

No clue but still sooo glad Eileen was not injured and you were able to find a new truck. God is good

OUTSTANDING!!!! Now THAT is what I am talking about!!! Man I miss you guys,,,,, and gals! VR family is by far THE BEST MOTORCYCLE CLUB FAMILY IN THE WORLD! Thanks for the pics @uncledj!!

I never heard from anyone and honestly I'm only a marginal seamstress! If there were plans I was willing to try it but not from scratch.

I installed this 2 gallon gas tank under the trailer years ago. Never have needed it, but it is comforting knowing that it's there. Where it's located between the wheels doesn't upset the tongue weight at all and it is mostly out of sight. Not the most convenient location but it sure beats walking.

Thanks for the reply, I've put thousands of miles on many different bikes in all weather conditions and have never experienced handling this bad.
