  1. With the new long range nozzles, (so I can spread the enjoyment) and the new to me 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor (Stole it out of an old DeLorean I found in the bone yard) powering the Snowper Charger that feeds into the white washer, if I aim it to high it will hit London or even Paris and f the wind is right even Moscow. The velocity is so much higher now that I have to aim low.......................... And it just seems that your buddy @saddlebum opened up that back door and sent down a blast of that Canadian air that I need for mixing.
  2. What mufflers do you have on it now. The stock unmodified ones are pretty quiet. Most people that put on aftermarket pipes are looking to make it louder. Yes there are some that go aftermarket for looks. If you have aftermarket on there now I bet it would not be hard to find someone to swap you a set of stockers for your louder ones.
  3. My first guess would be fuel pump is getting weak. First half of tank fuel level is above floats so pump does not have to work as hard. End of tank pump has to lift fuel up to the carbs.
  4. Yea GIVE IT UP............. Well since you asked for so you can disassemble............................ It must be time to dust off the SNOWPER CHARGER .................. Puc you better duck, your kind of in the middle.
  5. Then you would love some of my aromas with 25% bean oil, 45% alky, and 30% nitro. Best perfume ever.
  6. Best wishes for your mom Bob. The weatherman just said that Mathew is going to hang a right and turn a 360 for round 2 next week. BUT The weatherman also said that this cold front we have here right now that is dropping the temps here into the 30s will head on down and blow up the hurricane by sucking all of the heat energy out of it. Round 2 should be just a bit of rain maybe.

    PITA

    I have that job coming up soon here to. I have started to hear the tick of the leak. But I am gonna cheat. I am gonna fix it without removing the exhaust manifold at all. After doing a lot of reading on the issue, you go thru all of the work to replace the broken bolts and the new bold break too. it is a design isue that the stretching of the bolt with the heat cool cycles is stretching the bolt enough to cause metal fatigue and SNAP. There is a company that makes a clamp bracket that bolts to the front and back of the head using existing holes, and then uses a clamp screw to hold down the outer corners of the manifold. The brackets are a bit pricey so I will probably make my own from scrap steel I have already. the brackets are considered the permanent fix for the broken manifold bolt issue. Left hand drills very often spin the broken fastener out before the easy out ever comes out of the case. Especially if it was well lubed with with the magic 50/50 bullet and then use more of the 50/50 as your cutting oil.
  8. Says who?
  9. No real big deal if it is that involved. I was just hoping it was already there and you just had to check a box.
  10. I have several computers that I use between home and work. They are all running XP Pro, SP2, and FireFox. I have not seen these errors. I have been having many issues since the last Firefox update, but these issues are affecting all sites. going back to an earlier version of Firefox fixed the issues.
  11. Cool. At least it is all better now.
  12. You have a case of power getting to somewhere it is not supposed to be, since dielectric grease is an insulator, dielectric grease can not possibly be the issue for you. The whole issue of where and how to use dielectric grease transcends even oil or tires, approaching the volatility of politics and religion.
  13. Depending on exactly what it was the you hooked up backwards the effect could range from nothing happens to wires melting or anything in between. Yes back feeding something is a real possibility.
  14. I ran into a couple of businesses that have already closed so the employees could go home to prep for this one. It looks like it going to a nasty one, not just for Florida but for the whole eastern seaboard. Good luck and follow the recommendations for your local.

  16. There is a Chevy truck forum that I frequent. Today while making a long post, when I hit submit it popped up a warning to say that there have been other posts made to this thread since I started creating my reply and asked me to review what I wrote in light of these new responses. When it popped up the warning it also showed me the new posts that were added. I see it often on this site where two people are typing at the same time, it would be nice to know before the post goes up that your info is already there or may no longer apply.
  17. Have you done the diode test on your RR? Have you done the voltage output test on the stator? This is a weird one to have voltage drop with increasing RPM. I am wondering if something in the stator or RR is breaking down as the voltage and frequency of the stator rise with RPM. This could cause the RR input to go from 3 phase to single phase power.
  18. I heard Yamaha has spent huge amounts of money developing a new touring bike. They have something almost ready to release. and then they look here and most are saying that they would not buy the air cooled V twin that they came up with. Most have said that the spy photos are fugly. Did we scare them into dropping the idea of a big touring bike? Did we scare them into following our blueprint to a touring bike and they are redesigning to be closer to what we said we would buy? Hey we can only guess and dream at this point. We have been let down AGAIN. I am sure that there will be another bunch of folks that will jump ship and switch to another brand before the next September rolls around. Most ship jumpers never come back. OK, I'll shut up now.
  19. Bummer. It would be nice to have a less expensive other source.
  20. So all of September of this year has come and gone. That was my question too. Yea I can read, but that does not mean I believe. SO WHERE IS IT?????????
  21. Like this? or this one?
  22. Yes I have seen it. Yes I want one. Yes Christmas is coming good buddy. Thank you.................
  23. Voltages look spot on. As for the back lighting? on a 2nd gen I don't know.
  24. The only sure fire thing that I have found for keeping stuff out of the gutters is a good chain saw. My house has a dormers so I can stick my head out the window to inspect the gutters. I have not had to clean a gutter in since I bought my chain saw 30 years ago. I know that will not work for everyone, but it worked for me. None of my neighbors have trees close enough to get stuff in my gutters. As a bonus, I do not have to rake leaves in the fall either.
