I was in Ohio, just happened to be about 170 miles northeast of you! I did go around 275 to 71 about noon, tho. Maybe that counts.

What do ya squirt in here.....?
Dano replied to Smitty161's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Don't waste your time on that fitting, all you'll do is to increase your clean-up time when you pull the pumpkin and drive shaft to properly lube the driveshaft splines! You could pull that fitting and install it on your rear suspension shock links where it'll actually do some good! -
Heck, even I got 'em!

Take one of the plugs out, put it in the cap and stick it where it will make contact with the block, then try cranking it. The spark won't be great, but if ignition system is working, then you will be able to verify this. Do you have an analog or digital meter? If so, can you use it? Or have someone around that can? We can go further at that point if spark is non-existant. Good luck, Dan

Where is this oil comming from?
Dano replied to GeorgeAdam's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If it is coming from over the left side of the collector, possible points of interest are the shift shaft where it enters the case, gear indicator switch, grommet for the stator and pick-up coil wires where they exit the stator cover (big cover on left side) or the clutch push rod also where it enters the case (behind the slave cylinder). Put the bike on center stand, use a mirror and flashlight and look underneath where the middle gear cover (smaller cover on the left side) is. There is a void behind the flat portion of the cover. The oil on the bottom of the drive shaft "cover" or swingarm, is probably due to blow-back from these areas. If the bikes been sitting for awhile, it's probably one of these seals. Good luck, Dan- 10 replies

Throttle - Auto Close
Dano replied to utadventure's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You mean you gotta let go of the throttle every once in a while?? -
There was a band in the video?????

But how did the a$$-wipes come out? I'm sure a couple of them got what they deserved!

Easiest thing to do is to just remove the YICS and put rubber caps over the ports. Sooner or later the chamber is going to start leaking, causing you all kinds of problems. JMHO Dan

I guess you're just a tad too young, Jerry!

After market TCI ?
Dano replied to 6m459's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Your intermittent misfire may be caused by a bad connection in the 8 pin plug going into the TCI. I finally found mine last nite, the 1/4" female plug inside the connector was not touching the blade coming out of the TCI on the orange (#1 cyl) blade. It doesn't contact the flat portion of the female tab, but rather the 2 rounded blades that come down from the top. I stuck a very small finishing nail through the back of the plug to bend those 2 tabs down a little, and voila, it started firing again! Might want to check that out, along with cleaning them very good inside. Dan- 33 replies

busted drive shaft gear ?!!!! maybe
Dano replied to big dude's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks Churchbuilder. Got parts ordered already, they're on the way. I tore mine apart last year for second gear fix, so this is a no brainer. "Preciate the reply, tho. Dan -
Well, include me in on this boat. My TCI just crashed on cylinders #1 & 2. Guess I'm hunting also. Dan

busted drive shaft gear ?!!!! maybe
Dano replied to big dude's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I always thought these damper cams were supposed to rotate around separately from the pinion gear in case of undue stress on the final driveline. I guess that proves this theory wrong! These pics were taken from outside the case, looking in where the u-joint/output pinion gear go into the case at the back left corner of the motor in case anyone was wondering. Dan -

Dano replied to big dude's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Working on getting Mike to snap a couple, if not we'll stop by there tomorrow (gotta ride right past his house!) and get some. #3 on middle gear page on parts fiche. Split right down the piece lengthwise. -
An Interesting Oil Leak
Dano replied to RedRocket's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yep. Been there before. SHiny or the long screws go in the outer holes. Chased that one for a couple of months! Dan -
No special tools needed (darn it!) need to get seals, etc. Just look at the parts fiche and just order the "wear" items you'll need, like the bearings, dust/grease seals, etc. Not a hard job to do. Dan

86 VR- grinding bad
Dano replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Quick update, Churchbuilder nailed it. Wish I would have seen that when we tore it apart on Sunday the 14th. Coulda had it fixed by now. Gotta remember to SLOWLY go thru each portion of the driveline and inspect closer. If I would have just rotated the tranny while looking at the middle gear, I would have spotted it quickly and looked like a real pro! Now I gotta start all over again. I am however, looking into building a jig that would let me get in there without pulling the motor............ Interesting prospect for all those split clips and thrust washers that need replaced........... Dan -

Dano replied to big dude's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Sorry Randy, should have said damper cam, right behind the middle pinion gear in the case. Dan -
Before you split the case, look at the damper cam (right behind the case half of the middle gear) and see if it's split. That is the case with Big Dudes bike, we're working on a fix now. It also could be that all is fine inside the case and you won't have to tear it down. Dan
