    If I'm not mistaken, doesn't it have the locator pin on it? That means you would have to split the case to replace it. If'n I remember correctly! A lot of those seals did. Dan

    Am looking to purchase or borrow an adaptor to fit my compression gauge to check my bike. All the ones on my set don't go small enough. I believe it to be 12mm or 14mm. The od of the threads read 11.87mm. Feel free to set me straight on this (I know you will!) Thanks guys (gals), Dan

    When I was young(!) had a 67 tempest with oversize tires. Officer pulled me over on 33 south of Columbus OH for speeding. I honestly told him my speedo said 55, which the three young ladies with me(!!) verified. He wrote me a ticket, my dad said that we were going to court. He was a mechanic and Auxiliary State Highway Patrol. We sat down and did the calculations on the tire size, rear end gear and speedo gear in the tranny and presented our findings to the judge. He overturned the ticket based on the evidence presented! He said he'd never had someone do that before, always just said it and never proved it! Of course nowadays I just blame it on the 1st gen!

    In what city did you pick the bike up? Or even the dealers name? If it way sIndy West HD in Plainfield, they tried palming off an almost worn out Venture to another member here also. I went out and looked at the bike myself and offered the guy 500 bucks right then and there for it, he laughed then I laughed harder on the way out the door. Toold him Goood luck on selling it.

    You will have to PM Don, put name change in the header. He is taking a bit of a break right now from viewing every post. If no one else has that name, I'm sure he will be able to help you. May take him a couple of days tho. Dan

    Lonna and Heather have been safely here since about 6:30, a little Panini, some good conversation and a relaxing evening. Didn't work on anything for once! They are all snug safe in their beds for the night, now I can get on here and waste some time! They will be leaving out about 6:30 or so in the morning, with plenty of coffee to go around! I can add one thing to the Burgundy Rainier- it will be the one with the contrails coming off the back! She did say that was the slowest she'd ever driven or ridden behind me! But the area I brought her through, they are trying their own economic stimulus plan, if you know what I mean! Safe journey to the two of them, I expect to see them on the way back through! As always, to our VR members, never hesitate to call if you need a way station on your journeys. We are all here to help each other! Dan

    Blue with black stripe is pump feed coming from fuel pump relay. You will find the relay and fuel control unit behind the headlight. Check ohms between the Red/White and the Blue/White at the relay. You should have continuity through the coil. Turn the key on and check for voltage also. The connector for the fuel pump is along the left rear frame rail. you'll find it strapped along the vertical portion. Make sure it isn't corroded.When you first turn the key on, you should have 12 volts present here. If you have voltage here, then problem is with the fuel pump and it'll have to come off. Dan

    Sweet ride!

    Sounds like the fuel pump is not running. I'll pull out my book and give you wire colors to check.

    I'm just gonna build my own!
  22. Dano
    My thoughts exactly! Especially right behind the front tire!

    Brian, fuel petcock (shutoff) valve is directly above the right rear passenger footpeg. Make sure it is either on reserve or on position (up and down). Check to see if you hear the fuel pump run for approx. 5 seconds when you first turn the key on (tat-tat-tat-etc). If you do not hear this, then problem is related to the fuel pump. There is a cut-off relay that will shutoff the fuel pump if the engine doesn't start within a certain amount of time. If you can, download the service manual from the 1st gen tech library under "Forums" at the top of the page here. It is invaluable to you in working on your bike. Since the bike runs with fuel sprayed down the throats. The problem has to be related to the fuel system. If the fuel pump is running, then pull the air box off and disconnect the fuel line coming from the pump (red braided line coming to the fuel rail right in the middle of the carbs). Put it in a bottle to catch the fuel then turn on the key for 3 or so seconds. This will check fuel flow up to that point. If you do not have fuel flow, it is possible that sediment has clogged the fuel petcock screen and fuel is not reaching the fuel pump. If you have fuel flow, then re-attach the line and open up one of the drain screws (phillips head screw located to the lower right rear of each carb). The rubber hoses sticking out the frame of the carbs is the drain hose. Turn the key on again and check for fuel flow out of each hose as you open them up. Remember the "time-out" factor on the fuel pump. Either cycle the key or the kill switch to reset the kill relay. If you have fuel flow out of the drain holes, then it's possible that your pilot jets are plugged. Have someone assist you while you start the bike with the fuel down the throat and try to open up the throttle or turn the "choke" on while it's running. If it runs then, you have plugged up pilot jets. Good luck, and please report to us what you have found at each stage. We can better assist you this way. Dan

    You could also open up a drain screw on one of the carbs and check for fuel flow with the key on. Dan

    Where's the fun in that! :witch_brew: dDan
