Does the voltmeter in the dash work? Voltmeter is on the same fuse. Sounds more like it could be a ground issue.

If you had air leaks and fixed them, it is realistic that you will need to turn up the idle.

I just finished a complete rewire on my trailer including the center brake light and my nifty controller module so that the light will work correctly. I have enough parts to make one more controller...........

If you can, rig up a digital volt meter so that you can tell if the headlight is occasionally getting bright to where it is supposed to be and dim the rest of the time or if it is right most of the time and occasionally getting brighter than it should be. You will be able to tell from the voltage. Having a voltmeter is a good thing anyhow.

Or you could move up here where you get all winter to work on stuff.....:snow2::snow2:

Get a good head of speed and hydroplane..........

Any progress? I sure hope you get this sorted before your interview. Do you have a plan B for the interview? Now I'm seeing double....... Now I'm seeing double.......

It gets all of the air it needs. If you do something to increase air you will have to rejet the carbs or it will run lean.

You could use the load resistors to "trick" the monitor into thinking that it has regular bulbs. But then you lose all of the amps that you were saving by switching to LED. The sensors on a first gen are a reed switch inside of a coil of wire. A reed switch is a small glass tube with a wire coming in each end. the contacts inside are made of a type of iron. The way that this works is that at the correct current level thru the coil it generates enough of a magnetic field to cause the iron contacts in the reed switch to be attracted to each other and close the circuit. You could wind new coils using a lot more turns of wire so that the magnetic field will be strong enough at a lower amperage so the reed switch will still make contact at the LED amperage. It would take a bunch of messing around to figure out what the new windings would have to be. Then you would have to build in install them on the PCB. Or you could try to find different reed switches that would close with a weaker magnetic field.

Troublemaker........ You had to mention R&P Carriages where I could see it. I had forgotten about them........ I want to make a run down there to get a new axle assembly with 7 inch electric brakes to add to my HF trailer. They seem to have a lot of stuff at good prices. You can never have to many lights. Tonight (weather permitting) I am adding an 11 LED center brake light to my trailer with a controller circuit board to make the center brake light work correctly.

My delicate derriere will thank you.......

A picture would help a lot here.

I make an effort to never add up the costs on any of my hobbies. I have a number of expensive hobbies. I do keep all of the receipts in a locked fire proof box just in case I should ever need them for insurance or warranty reasons. I do carry extra insurance to cover some of the expensive toys.

Kevin If you will heading across I80, our first gas stop is at the "Chicago Southland Lincoln Tollway Oasis" on I80/I294 at around 6:00am. There is a LOT of construction to get thru coming south out of WI so it is hard to predict exact travel time. I get lousy gas mileage pulling the trailer so I have to plan for stops at around 100 +/-20 miles. Sometimes my marshmallow butt or a DQ will dictate more often........ Did you know that there is a DQ in every rest stop thru Indiana? I hit every single one of them last year...... Randy I Was hoping to be at the Bob Evens restaurant on HY2 by Toledo at around 10:00 am.

This was the last one that I heard of. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=763340&postcount=9 Sounds like there will be at least 2 of us coming from WI.

Battery you might be able to rig to run off of bike power. Then you just need a fist full of SD chips. Just don't confuse the SD chips with the potato chips,,,,,,

I have always been assured that I got it right.

Assuming that that little piece of bent wire that they call a shaft is actually there. It could have been left out.

That's why I wear TRI focals. I is really old, but not so old that there was ever a problem finding the right spot.

I am not sure that a "peanut bulb" and a H3 are the same thing, I think you are thinking of the 35W H3 style bulb that is used in most lighting. I have never heard of the H3 referred to as a "peanut bulb". The "peanut bulb" is normally used to refer to the 194 type bulb like what is in the instrument panel lighting. Larry Do you know which beam pattern you have on those 10W LEDs?

Good thing you did not lump me in with the "light experts"........ Ya they could be made to work. A 5 Watt peanut bulb is very little light, that would make these for show, not for useful light. BUT if they meant to say a 50 watt bulb, that would be different. These are the ones I am looking at to mount near the front axle. http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/mini-auxiliary-lights/2-square-10-watt-led-mini-auxiliary-work-light--square/1362/

I love it when a plan comes together.

A bike cover may be the best option. Sometimes out of sight out of mind works. A cover with a couple of grommets at the bottom for a lock will be enough to stop those that might yield to temptation by removing the temptation. There is nothing that will stop a thief that wants your stuff. Where I work there are always people floating thru the parking lot looking for an unlocked car, they will smash a car window to take $0.50 that was left on the center console. They typically will not break the window if they see nothing worth taking.

Its not actually my cabin, it belongs to a friend. It is in Iron county MI north of Iron River. But we still drive back down to WI to chase deer in Vilas. Around Star Lake.

I have noticed the same thing. I don't know if it is just a timer or a time of use timer type of thing. It seems that as long as I do not take a lot of time reading on any one post and keep clicking along, that it will let me keep looking for several hours. If I have been gone for more than a day, I start at the back and work forward in time. I try to make it far enough that "Todays posts" will bring up the rest when I get the dreaded "search not found". While scanning the threads I try to just take note of those that I really want to read so that after I have glanced thru all of them. I can then go back and find the ones that I need/want to spend some time in. Typing a reply will really eat up your timer. Especially if you type like I do. When I head up to the cabin there is no telephone, no Internet, not even cell phone coverage, or TV service of any kind. And I love it that way. But it means that I have some catching up to do when I return to "civilization".
