Once it's going over.....It's going over!
Flyinfool replied to Statussymbol's topic in Watering Hole
Geeezzz With all of these drops, the drop fund should be doing pretty good by now................. -
I am in the same boat. The only time that I get numbing is when the Dr thinks he will hit a nerve. Most of my issues are very small so I get no numbing, the numbing is way worse that the drilling and filling. Never had nitrous either so I don't know what that does for things.

That one is way to big for me.

Testing:nanner: Woo hoo it works. I did have to clear my cookies to make it work. Thanks Boss!

oil sending unit
Flyinfool replied to Big Auggie's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The oil level light will sometimes come on during hard acceleration. The oil sloshes to the rear of the engine and the sender sees low oil. -
On the starter. You mentioned that you had the side cover off for polishing. Did you use a new gasket when you put it back on or did you use a sealer? You need the gasket thickness in there or the cover will bind the starter gears. On my 88 it does not mater what the air temp is, if the engine is cold it needs some choke to start.

I fixed the Nanner smile in the "Medium Standard" smiles so that it is not a half page of blank space. At least I think I did. All that white space just bothered me.

I just had to try it on my phone. And to see if I could do online on the phone. It seems to work exactly the same as on computer.

Vanishing fuel...
Flyinfool replied to Air Ready Auto's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
A full tank has the fuel level above the carbs. Once the fuel level drops to the level of the lowest float bowl the siphon will no longer happen. Since it is draining down to a half gallon left in the tank, the gas is all not coming thru the carbs. The par that puzzles me is that there is no gas smell in the garage with 5 gallons of gas evaporated in 72 hours, it should stink like gas real bad unless the garage is very well ventilated. I'm still :scratchchin: :scratchchin: :scratchchin: :scratchchin: -

First place to check is the oil. Is the oil level still at half or below on the sight glass? I had that gremlin visit me to until I kicked him out, I guess he headed north. I never did figure out where he was putting the gas. But after a few tanks he quit. -

Only had one tip over. Bike was parked in the back yard with a 5 inch pad under the side stand. The ground was so soft it drove that 5 inch pad into the ground until the bike tipped over. Of course the side stand then stopped sinking so the bottom of the bike was higher than the top of the bike withe the side stand holding the bottom up high. I had to lift the bike over the side stand to get it back up and moved it to concrete. First I knew there was a problem was when the wife came in and asked why I had the bike laying on its side. AND as mentioned the guards on a 1st gen do not stop the bike from going ALL the way over. It does not even start to slow down till the fairing hits the ground. And just to jinks myself, I have not yet dropped a bike in 30+ years of riding. Oh dang, there is no wood to knock on anywhere around here.................... I'm toast. I guess tomorrow I will be picking the bike up.............. -
I sent you an email. I don't have txt.

You just missed Orlins MD in Veroqua WI. It is always the last weekend in June. I just went thru there on my way home from the weekend. I know Milwaukee area is a bit more of a ride.

I was looking at one of these smaller toy haulers. I wanted something to haul either my Venture or a golf cart. This 14 footer will do the job. Because it is smaller most of the toy weight is over the axles so tongue weight added or removed is not near as much of an issue. I only need it as a dry place to sleep, so I do not need a big fancy rig.

I never tried sporting clays but it does sound like fun. But then anything that goes bang is fun. IF I would have been able to make it down there I would have sprung the $39 in a heart beat. At least I would be humorous, I can not hit clay to save my life, put feathers or fur on it and I rarely miss. I sure wish I could be there.....

If part of your goal is to reduce power draw, and get more light, the Daymaker is advertised as 70 watts, your stock headlight is 55/60 watts. So the LED will draw MORE power than the stock bulb. A 35Watt HID will put out way more light than a stock halogen or Silver Star and use less power in the process. Some of the LED headlights are catching up to the HID in light output, but all the ones that I have seen that are close in light output also draw twice the power of the HID to do it. I do understand that LED is the new easy, modern and cool thing to do. But the higher amp draw is hard on your switches, connectors, wires and charging system. My HID is now 6 years old and 30K miles and all still original. I am currently looking to upgrade my new truck to HID also.

Cruise slow to engage:
Flyinfool replied to Rob Swallows's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
PM sent. Glad that you found an issue that can be fixed easily. -
Sounds like you should enjoy yourselves. Don't worry to much about us........ We can behave, well maybe sometimes, maybe just a little.

Does the 1300 gen 1.2 have YICS?
Flyinfool replied to CaseyJ955's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Also in the realm of the cheap and easy to check. Make sure you are running on all 4 cylinders. these bikes run amazingly well on 3 but the gas mileage drops way off. From cold start the bike and feel the headers right at the head, they should all heat up at the same rate, careful they heat up fast. -
My longest was coming home from Dons MD a few years back. It is 425 miles one way by mostly interstate, that trip normally takes my marshmallow butt 9-10 hours. I still have to stop at no more than 100 mile legs. But this one time coming home, it took me 14 hours. This was mainly due to an electrical gremlin that hitched a ride with me. Twice on the way home I had the fairing off in a rest area parking lot chasing that dang gremlin around the bike. That was an incredibly exhausting ride knowing that the bike can and will just shut off at any moment. It finally died completely and I had to push it the last 250 feet home. Time wise that was my longest stretched out ride. the trip to MD is also the longest miles ride I have ever done.

That is why if it look at all like it may possibly be legit I contact the company that sent it. I do NOT use any link in the email or a reply I call them using the phone number on my bill or on the back of a CC or their real web address that I would normally use to contact them. As I mentioned I had one from ebay just this week that had scam written all over it but when I contacted them it was legit.

Resistance check for TCI?

That is them. -
Resistance check for TCI?
Flyinfool replied to luvmy40's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
That may identify a bad output transistor, but that is not the common failure mode. It is usually the internal electronics that fail. it is a custom programmable IC, that can be replaced but no one knows the program to put in that IC. -
Most but not all. I just got a email from ebay to update my info because I had not updated anything in over a year. It was an email with a box to click to log into my account. My scam alert immediately sounded. I forwarded the email to Spoof@ebay.com and got a reply back from ebay that it is a legit email from them. Ebay said I can tell it is legit because it was addressed to me by name. I have gotten scams that were addressed to me by name to so that is a pretty wimpy method of proving something is a scam vs legit. I deleted it anyhow out of principal.
