If the gauge never moved at all then you most likely knocked off a wire. If it moves a little then you may have a bad thermostat, or the drain valve in the wrong position. Or your coolant is really low. just because there is coolant in the overflow bottle does not mean there is any in the radiator. It is not normal to need any choke at all after the first 100 yards in warm weather or first half mile in sub freezing weather. Sounds like you still have crud in the idle jets. More Seafoam.

Trailers are like a garage, no matter what size you get, you will soon wish you had gotten the next bigger one. As for mounting the front wheel chock. I would make a nut plate with the nuts welded to the plate. Screw this plate to the bottom of the trailer. Now to mount the chock you just position it and run the bolts in. no more messing around under the trailer. Another thought is a Toy Hauler camper. It is half utility trailer and half camper. Normally the bed either folds up against the walls or lifts up to the ceiling. This is what I have been looking at. Most likely the 14 foot. https://dunesport.com/build-toy-hauler-1.php?type=Toy%20Hauler

Thank you all. But the worst part is I went out for dinner yesterday and got a senior discount without asking for it. :backinmyday: :backinmyday: :backinmyday:

My new fancy end mill just showed up. Time to make some more chips fly.

Sometimes the real world is even scarier than fiction. My sister bought a brand new car off the dealers lot. She knew it had an oil light. so she drove it till the oil light came on thinking that it was there to tell her when to get an oil change. She went 25,000 miles on the factory oil. when the oil light came on she called the dealer and made an appointment for an oil change. drove it another few days with the oil light on till the appointment. t6his was back in 1974, $600 later she got the car back with a new cam, and all of the valve train replaced. The mechanic told her to sell the car quick because the bearings were probably shot too. We did make her go and take a basic auto care course at the local tech collage.

Cool The strobe light from a retired school bus has a pretty thick lens, It would take a lot to break it.

There is a drain valve in that area. It is well known for the o-ring to get hard and start to leak. Very simple fix.

Sorry about hijacking the thread, I thought that I had used adequate smilies to not be taken to seriously. That does look interesting. OK then there is the safety officer side of me that shows thru. Is there a system of some sort to notify authorities that you have this so that they will know to check it in the aftermath of a major storm? Are there any trees in the vicinity that could topple and pin the door shut? Have you tried your cell phone from underground to see if you can call out? (This assumes that the cell system would still be functional in the aftermath of a major storm.) Would it be appropriate to mount a battery powered strobe light on the top of the door (or highest point) that could be used if you are trapped inside by debris?

Is it completely dead or do the lights and display at least come on?

:sign yeah that:

When the good Lord decides my time is up, He has more ways to get it done than we can ever think up ways to try to prevent it. But then I have decided that it looked ugly enough to get me to go hide in a hole in the ground.

That never happened, I was standing outside looking and I saw nothing.

It look purdy right where Bob is.

I have one all drawn up in CAD, I was planing to make one for myself. I just never got around to it. Maybe once I use up the stock of OEM filters that I already have.

I live close to the lake, they tell me that it is not possible to have tornadoes this close to the lake We do not have to worry about hurricanes up here ......... When the tornado sirens do go off I usually go out side to watch.

Why would Bubber say such a thing.........WHY?

What you talkin bout? It is rare to get thru an April in Wisconsin without having snow. Spring begins at 11:57am Central time tomorrow. The 21st is the first full day of spring.

Yup backrest is a pain while getting on and off the bike. But I figure that I spend very little time getting on and off the bike compared to the amount of time I spend riding it in comfort.

Hummingbird is suthun folk.....

So then WHY did Ruffy get a Rocket III instead of a 1st gen?

And of what possible use are more than 9 unloaded guns in the house???? All of my guns in the house are loaded all the time unless I am cleaning them.

??? You mean the fuel petcock? That should have no effect at all on voltages. I have to think about this one now.

If you unplugged the connector then there will only be 12V on one of the red/white wires. as a test, hook a jumper across the red/white wires in the connecter to see what the voltage is at the relay.

In case you are interested here is the thread that I made while I was chasing my intermittent electrical issues. Coincidentally mine also involved the red/white wire...... Unfortunately I became fairly intimate with that red/white circuit.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79290

The glass fuses in these bike are very well known to cause a lot of electrical grief. It is highly recommended to replace the glass fuse panel with an AGM fuse panel. Skydoc_17 sells a kit with good instructions on how to do this. Although if you have 12V in the wires at the fuse panel then that is not likely your issue at this time. The next place that the red white wire goes is to the kill switch on the right handlebar. The wire bundle that comes down from the handlebar has a connector in the right side of the faring. If you already are in to the relay then you should also be able to get to this connector. There are 2 red/white wires in that connector. Check to see if they both show 12V while the relay is showing 10. If one of the wires has 10V and the other 12V. then you have a dirty contact in either the connector or the switch its self. The switch can be disassembled for cleaning the contacts. Give each of the wire a gentle tug to be sure it is well crimped, Last summer I had a loose crimp in that connector that drove me nuts for over a month trying to find find my intermittent connection.
