Sounds like you have way to many motorcycles, parts and too much time on your hands.

Congrats, Good luck, prayers sent, vibes heading your way and the rest of the universe is aligning itself for your continued success.

I tried that last time and didn't work out so good this time I just want to buy the winning ticket. Like I'm on the way out to buy my one winning power ball ticket.

No I want the Carb Tune

Someone had intentionally cut three of the wires to the plug. Question is why would anyone do that? What would be the purpose of that?

That's kinda like two bullets colliding head on in mid air. not likely but it can theoretically happen.

See if you can find me

I'm glad Mike is out enjoying his new ride. It may take me a few days to get over the postpartum blues.

We have power to that wire pin #16 and chassis ground now we are chasing a ground fault on white/blk Pin #4 wire between the fuse panel and the OBD port. That is where we think we are losing the ground.

The cigarette lighter under the dash and inside the console both have power.

Before and after on the fender emblem[ATTACH]76187[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76188[/ATTACH] I've got to say that when we painted over the old emblem my son and I were a little sad until your new emblem materialized. Then we were happy for you because you are getting a great bike. But we will definitely miss her:crying:

One of us....One of us......one of us..... :banana: :doh:Wait you can't be one of us until you show up for a:7_6_3[1]: Freebird Maintenance day month one weekend in Oberlin, Ohio:whistling: and the $12.00:mo money:

Sounds great glad to hear your settled and happy with your new job. Try making MD if you can. How far is Toledo from Oberlin. Can't be as far as Atlanta is to Oberlin. No excuses.

Hang in there buddy, relief and comfort are around the corner.

Tray mountain road is about ten miles of gravel, I've done it before but don't recommend it for motorcycle travel at one point there is a stream to ford. Tx2sturgis remember the creek crossing in the Palo Alto Canyon?

Been doing that with no luck

I think your right, I'm gonna try that next. Or a wine bottle cork

Due to pure tenaciousness, a lot of cussing and a little luck I was finally able to worry the original bad plug out and the 1st new plug that seemed fall right through the block into the the water jacket with just a couple of taps. With those two back out of the water jacket :banana:now I can't get the second new one to start in the hole :doh:after two hours of tapping and cussing. I'm through for the night and will try again tomorrow.

That is what I was attempting to do when the darn thing fell down the black hole into the water jacket abyss. There is no way to retrieve it short of removing the engine and disassembling the motor which I am not going to do for a $500.00 vehicle. I'm just going to leave it in there and take my chances.

That video says it all. If you gonna haul passengers get something safe.

Thanks for the responses, it seems that the concenses is to abandon it in the water jacket, install a new freeze plug and move forward. Sounds like a plan.

To make a long story short, the Dodge Caravan started leaking water from underneath the motor. After a day of disassembly to change water pump it became obvious the leak was coming from an engine block freeze plug about 1" in diameter not the water pump. The freeze plug had a hole or crack in the middle but the outer ring surface was intact. in the process of trying to remove it, instead of it coming out it fell down into the engine block water jacket. I don't see anyway to fish it out without taking the engine apart . What do I do? Any suggestions? Do you think I could just leave it in there and install a new freeze plug?
