Ethenol vs carburetors
Big Lou replied to hammbone's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I got a 94 ford out of a field , had been sitting 4 months,, 2, 1/2 tanks of gas ,, gas was no good after 4 months , had too run 5 gallons of premium and 2 bottles of cleaner at the same time , fuel injected ,, ran terrible after 5 gallons of gas with cleaner it would finally idle I HAVE 2 HOLLEY 750 DOUBLE PUMPERS AND I HAVE TO REBUILD EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE THEM IF AT ALL POSSIBLE STAY AWAY FROM ETHANOL if you run it out of gas , I believe it will varnish quicker, due to air humidity,,change of temp the gas in alabama wont even evaporate sitting in a bucket if you do have to let it set SEAFOAM ,,AND FILL TANK OR IT WIIL RUST!!!!!!!! I CAN GUARENTEE RUSTY TANK AFTER 2 WEEKS -

Need Rubber for sparkplug
Big Lou replied to Huggy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
my nearest bike scrapyard didnt have any i wanted to pay his price for i took an old radiator hose ,the old one from bottom of radiator matter of fact,,and cut it to fit in the hole ,then cut the top to fit the plug wire plastic ,the zip tied it tight keeps dirt out -
i have a 1989 royale {venture}, went to yamaha dealer an only thing he can say is "dark grayish blue metalic" no paint code numbers when I bought it ,it had allready been laid down , so fairing is scratched pretty good .I have taken it off so many times I am contemplating mounting it with VELCRO.... here is my question ,,i know some about fiberglass, will a clear coat after i wet sand the ABS adhere , I found in summit racing , ROTH FLAKE ,, looks like the two colors of blue will match and i can keep origional paint scheme,, mixed with clear:lightbulb::lightbulb: IF I USE THE MONSTER FLAKE , I BELIEVE IT WILL HIDE SCRATCHES, AND LOOK GOOD KIND OF LIKE A VW DUNE BUGGY.. OR A BOAT

Big Lou replied to Big Lou's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
so i went to store today and got stuff to make the synch, tool,, figure ill hang in the rafters when i am done if it is carb diaphrams , even though it was doing good when i tore it down ,,i am going to just going to have to fix it wonder if doing rebuild on all 4 will be cost effective , or just a piece at the time QUESTION;;; will a backfire blow a diaphram on this 1st gen,,, like a holley carb does power valves. on a racing motor????...used to keep spares of those is there anything i can make my own diaphrams out of???? -
took old gas where I had put in berrymans out , drained 3 carbs three times , drained tank , carbs soaked two days cause it rained new 93 gas , cranked right up tried to idle , turned up idle so it would stay chargeing,, no more runs thats it any thing below 3,000 and its backfireing, any gear any speed,, at 3,000 I have a cylinder cutting in and out ,it will cut in for 3 to 5 seconds and go back out,, only at 3,000 the other day before I fixed vacuum leaks when i run down the road at 4,5 6 and up wil would cut in for a minute or so ,,not any more,,, choke cable works like it is supppose to yet i cant tell it is doing anything , ran three tanks of gas yesterday in the forrest and some interstate, didnt clear up i definetly have a loss of power WHAT NOW i got a big service manual with it except all the trouble shooting chapter is torn out , i dont have it , drained oil after and filtered it through a pair of pantyhose to see if i have any wear after i did tranny NOT ONE METAL FLAKE, SPARKLE OR GLISTEN,, I BELIEVE IT GOT THAT
