One really good thing about the 91 Venture is that it has the 4 brush starter that replaced the 2 brush in earlier models. The 2 brush is too weak.

Love the black color! That is as nice as you can find! Congratulations!

The guy I bought my 89 Venture from hadn't ridden it much and he was unhappy with the brakes. He did not even know that the brake handle on the handlebar only controlled the right side front rotor and the brake pedal controlled the left side front rotor and the rear rotor. Keeping that in mind, it may slightly change your opinion of the brakes. I think $3300 is a decent price for that bike depending on the appearance. It is low mileage. These V4s sound so good when they are winding up. Maybe I overpaid for mine, but I paid $3800 for it with only 5,914 miles on it.

When I went in, RA was the number prefix if you were regular army and NG if you were national guard.

In Florida, you don't have to take the shooting instruction class to get a concealed carry permit if you are a veteran. That saved me the cost of the class. All of the state laws associated with CC are easily found on their web site, so I read through all of them to make sure I didn't unintentionally violate any laws.

They say you never forget your RA (Regular Army) number and I still remember mine. I joined in 67.

Could be other things other than the TCI. I'm not expert in this area but check the spark plug wires, coils etc. I'm sure there is lots of info on all this on the site.

It's not that unusual for these engines to spit back when giving it throttle with the air filter out. Also, my 89 will make a knocking sound when it is running rough at idle. I suspect when you get the carbs and ignition sorted out, it won't knock.

I googled oil filter cross reference, fed the number you gave and came up with this chart. I think NAPA filters are wix. http://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Wix/51522

Congratulations on your new toy! Post some photos when you get a chance.

Here is the video I was thinking of. One of our members.

They obviously aren't smoking enough weed!

After all, it will be YOUR fault if scumbag steals your truck, NOT the scumbag!!

The blower resistor is a common issue with old F150s like my 2002. The fan quits working on any speed but high because the resistor is bypassed on high speed. It picks off a lower voltage from the resistor for the lower speeds. Easy to replace on my truck. I just had to crawl under the dash somewhat. Resistor was available at Advance Auto Parts.

ebay usually has plenty of them

Lots of owners are putting Harley Road King Mufflers on the 1st gens. If you do a search you can find out a lot of information. One member has a youtube video of his bike and he shows the mods he made including installing the RK muffs.

I had a few good bosses and more than a few bad ones. I very rarely had a supervisor, someone who actually kept up with the job. They seemed to go to meetings and stick to something other than communicating with the employees. Mostly they let me alone and I did my job. Working temporary contracts for 2 decades caused me to meet a few choice ones.

If I remember correctly, all of the guns were removed from the bombers to make them lighter so they could get off the ship's deck but it left them totally defenseless if a Japanese fighter approached them. Lots of very courageous men sacrificed themselves without hesitation in that war.

Most of us are old enough we shouldn't care if anyone disagrees with us. We know we are right!

Often times, someone gets a different meaning from a post than what the poster meant. We should all assume that nobody is intentionally trying to insult us, which I do believe is true. The good humored ragging of each other is one thing that makes this site so great!

What! No photos! I thought Cowpuc had trained you better than that! My 85 Kawasaki ZN700 is a similar bike, 4 cyl 74hp, shaft drive. It needs a wider seat and highway pegs for long distance traveling but otherwise would do fine.

Nice! 4 cylinder, shaft drive. I was admiring one of those in a parking lot back in the 80's when the owner came out of an auto parts store with some oil. He was a teenager. Said he had recently gotten back from a trip to California. Rear tire was bald. It had over 40k miles on it and he said the only issue with it was burned valves because he never adjusted the valves.

What model is your 750, Dan?
