  1. #10 is one of the heat shields that goes just above the engine. the rubber lined slots are for the spark plug wires. You are looking at the top of it. I think that is the front one but I am not 100% certain. #26 Yes the battery box #31 is a chrome wraparound for the trunk Was this thing stored under water????
  2. Do you have a link to the video that you watched? In order to adjust it per the service manual the top triple tree clamp will come off so that the locking cage and the top nut can come off.
  3. § Symbol means section. It is made on most windows computers by pressing and holding the ALT key and entering 21 on the numeric keypad then release the ALT key. There are a lot of useful special characters that can be accessed with the ALT key. You must use the numeric keypad and not the row of numbers above the characters. If you do not have a numeric keypad like on a laptop, then you may have a fn button + NumLk that will turn some of the letters into a numeric keypad. Don't forget to change it back or your typing will look funny. Google "ALT Code" The symbols sometimes change with different fonts.
  4. It was determined that Seafoam is Naphtha, Coleman fuel is Naphtha, Isopropyl alcohol, and oil. It was never determined what kind of oil is used or the exact mix ratio. This was determined from the MSDS sheets. Those sheets are always vague on quantity of each ingredient to protect the formula. There was some experimenting going on with various oils. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?32679-Sea-Foam-for-Lawn-Mower&highlight=seafoam+msds http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?50556-Camp-Fuel-V-S-Sea-Foam&highlight=naptha
  5. That is exactly what was missing, and now it has returned.
  6. Glad to hear you are still around and moving forward. I can not even imagine what you have been and are still going thru.
  7. Yea that's the one. I cleaned my glasses and washed my eyeballs and there it is.
  8. I know what Dan is referring to, it was another pull down In the row under the tabs, next to the "Quick Links" pull down. It had an line in it called "My Posts" and another called 'My Threads". It only disappeared in the last couple of months. It was not their in all screens. If you click "New Posts" it would not be there, If you went to the "Forum" tab it was there. I also used to use that feature a lot to find an old post that I did to link to in a new post.
  9. You mean I may have to upgrade to using 2 fingers instead of just one????
  10. I only use electric shavers. I have never bought an electric shaver. I am still using the Norelco my parents bought me when I was a teen just starting to sprout face hair. That would make it around 45 years old. never replaced a single part. The beard and mustache trimmer part died a long time ago and the switch had to be hot wired. but it still goes every morning when I plug it in. See how well this would fit in if there were a separate area................... Then we can get into Ford / Chevy / Dodge debates. That should be about as much fun as oil, tires, politics, religion, and dielectric grease discussions. Maybe even as much fun as 1st gen vs 2nd gen.
  11. Just like you were prepping for paint. Every blemish will show thru the wrap.
  12. Thank you for understanding just how this works................
  13. You are missing clearances. In order for the bolts to go through a hole the hole must be bigger than the bolt or stud. this means that there is a small amount of slop between the stud and the hole it goes through. what you are doing is to use the axle to find the best possible location within the available slop.
  14. OK Thanks Boss Man. I can breath again.....................
  15. The corners are getting crowded...............
  16. I did not say Venture, I said 2nd gen, 96 does have the same motor and driveline and was the beginning of the 2nd gen. So you are desperately trying to squeeze out that extra 3 more years until a Venture is officially old.
  17. I had a thought today riding in to work. 2nd Gens are now starting to be OLD enough to put collector license plates on them. To get a Collector plate in WI a vehicle must be at least 20 model years old. The first version of the 2nd gen came out in 1996 (according to the history page). So that makes it official, 2nd gens are now all considered OLD . At least by me. And I'll bet it would not take to much looking to find a new old bike still in a crate buried in the back at some dealership some where. But even a really 1st gen can still on a 2nd gen. AND In just 6 more years the 1st gens in WI can start to wear Antique plates. In WI Antique plates are for vehicles that are 40+ model years old.
  18. I found FROST on my windshield. It is obvious someone has been exercising the door hinges up there.
  19. Naaa Works the same, just bigger consequences
  20. Dan Electricity is really clever at finding a path to keep flowing. Does that make more sense?
  21. :sign yeah that: That would be my first guess The only other remote possibility that I can think of, and I never heard of it happening is that there would be an issue with a broken wire in the stator that is causing sparks as it makes and brakes contact. Sparks inside of the crankcase could ignite oil and/or gas fumes that will be present in the crankcase. The stator and pick up coils are the only wires inside of the engine that I am aware of. I do not think there is enough current available in the pick up coils to create a significant spark. But like I said, this is purely a WAG that I have never heard of happening. Check to be sure that you are running on all 4 cylinders. Start the bike from cold and check too see that all 4 pipes heat up at the same rate. Then check the voltage across the battery with the engine running, it should be near 14V with the engine at or over 3,000 rpm
  22. Inner Peace during the current political campaign..... I'm passing this on because it worked for me today. A doctor on TV said that in order to have inner peace in our lives during this political campaign, we should always finish things that we start. Since we all could use more calm in our lives, I looked around my house to find things I'd started & hadn't finished. I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Bayleys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Waliuminun scriptins, an a bxo a choclutz. Yuz haz kno idr how fablus I feeeel rite now.
