    Sounds like you need to do a colortune and carb synch. Get ahold of Muffinman, he's in NC, our top guy around here on these great bikes. Dan

    Just to clarify, I was NOT stating that all "poker runs" or Charity rides have to do with stopping at bars and drinking. I just know that the few we did the first year, before we knew, tended to be like that. That's why I started my post with the words "Pick your ride carefully". Each to his own, we have learned which ones to participate in. Dan

    A word on the "twinkie" rebuild (the quasi-oil cooler thingy). Just did mine twice, first time with gasket sealer I used when I rebuilt the tranny. The gasket between the 2 pieces sealed up, but the base to cooler did not. Pulled it back off and used black RTV to seal it up, as it may be warped a bit when you put it back together. Just be sure to let it cure overnite before running it again. PIA to pull the carbs and that unit out to rebuild.

    That's an awfull fancy work table ya got there, Lonestar, I noticed the railing in the background. Mama lettin' you use the kitchen table?!?!?!? You better watch out for those pink screwdrivers. Muffinman might be claiming those for himself!!!!!!! Dan Great article, by the way.

    How does it do without running the drive lights? Also, these units do not put out full power till about 2500 rpm. If your doing 45 in 5th gear, you are probably running about 1800-2000 rpm. This will run the bike on the battery, not the charging system. This will put an additional load on your battery, thus taxing it beyond it's capability. That's why it's running like cr*p after an hour. Turn off the driving lights and try the ride again. Replace the lamps with 35 watt lamps. This will help with the load on your charging system. Will probably have to replace the battery. Go with the Odyssey PC680, best for the money, costly but worth the money. Dan

    Just think, a 1st genner ALWAYS gets his bike home, a 2nd genner will call a taxi!!!!!!! Skinny Squidley

    Pick your rides carefully. We now only go on two-three rides a year, a lot of them we found, altho for good causes, were mearly "bar runs", where you stop at 3 or 4 bars along the way. Great for the bars, but I choose not to ride with other people who've drank 2 or 3 beers at each stop............ For some of these riders, that's all they do. But that's another thread altogether............... JMHO, Dan

    There will be vendors outside, too. Flatout, Brickstone, others just like any race. PS Carol King on PBS

    Thursday is free at the track, vendors open, preview day. Friday is 10 bucks to get in for practice, Quals on Saturday is 20 bucks. Probably watch it on TV live or replay. Gonna try to get out there Thurs or Fri. Dan

    Is the red a standard also? Be interested to see if it's got the pinstriping on it. I've seen some like mine that have the same style but not exact copies of my stripes. Be interested in the origin of these. Factory or dealer option?
  16. Dano
    Yep!

    If I'm out riding the country and come upon a treeline or cornfield, I'll blow the BadBoyz a couple of quick blows just to startle up any wild life sittin' thru there, might scare 'em back into the woods or field.

    What class is he in? We'll watch for him. At least going out for practice. 12,13,14th.

    Sounds like that one's got to be pulled apart. There are several passages in there that take a very fine wire, (like off of a wire brush) to clean out. I think a pilot jet passage. Others will be GLAD to correct me, this is the only area on the bike except the final drive I haven't tackled just yet. If fuel is not flowing out, try opening up the drain screw on that carb and shooting some carb cleaner up in there. It might blow it loose and all will be fine. Another thing to try is to remove the diaphragms and blow cleaner into every orifice (on the carb!!!) you can find. Worked for another member. Dan
