    They only get one more try. The balloon is toast once it is filled. They only have the one spare.

    So at least give us a clue as to what vehicle we are trying to help fix?????? No spark? I assume you checked for spark at the plug. Did you pull the coil wire and check for spark there? Did you check to see if voltage is being sent to the coil? How about the coil ground? Just a start of the normal suspects.

    This is quite normal. At idle there is no way the charging system can keep up with the added load of the driving lights and the trailer lights. You will not have full output of the charging circuit till 2500 - 3000 rpm. As long as the voltage comes back up as soon as you get up to speed, it is normal.

    I have been running the 10% ethanol crap gas in my 1st gen for the last 5 years, And since the bike was local, I assume that the PO did also. My carbs have not yet needed a rebuild. I do add Seafoam regularly because it has oil as one of its ingredients which helps the carbs out. Once you get outside of the ethanol mandated area here, there are some stations that carry ethanol free in the premium gas. I have no idea whats available in Canada.

    This one is a little more money but has the advantage of powering the trailer lights right from the battery so that the wiring on the bike does not have to carry the load of the trailer lights. It also isolates the bike circuits from the trailer circuits so that in the event of a short on the trailer the bike lighting is not affected. It only has one more wire to hook up.

    I put the HF LED lights on my HF trailer. WAY brighter than the stock incandescents, the reduced amp draw is a bonus. The kit comes with both rear lights and the amber front side markers all in LED. it is a bolt on installation, all of the holes lined up with the old. I still run all separate ground wires.

    OK someone has to ask the obvious questions. Is the Ipod turned on? Is the Ipod battery charged? Is the radio on the bike turned on? I just last week had to drive 40 miles to service a laptop computer that would start and shut right back off. The power cord was connected to the laptop so it should have plenty of power. Once I got there, I plugged the charger into the wall and all was good.

    So how goes the wheel mods? Is it started as planned? ETA for arrival?

    Your right it is 12 cyl. http://www.enginehistory.org/ModelEngines/merlin_xx.shtml This was done back in 1976 - 81, CNC and CAD/CAM where not all that popular yet.

    Along the same lines there is a guy in Europe that has built a scale 16 cyl Roles Royce engine for a scale Spitfire.

    I have had the HH pads on my 88 for a while now. Most of my riding is in city traffic commuting to work, so the brakes get a workout. I have about 12K miles on them and there is no appreciable visible wear of the rotors. The stopping power over the OEM pads is night and day and worth the cost down the road. I have had to make several panic stops over the years, and don't think I would have made the stops in time with the OEM pads. EBC does make new rotors to fit the 1st gens. I've been thinking of picking up a set one by one and put them up on the shelf, just to have for someday.

    For what it is gonna cost you to replace the mercury you could just buy a new Morgan carb tune and never have to worry about spills or a liquid getting sucked into the engine ever again.

    If the ran like that I bet they would sell better.

    OR since she was born raised and always lived in the USA but is of Mexican decent, maybe he spoke to her in Spanish and she didn't understand him. It will be interesting to know the rest of the facts as they come out. I like to think I know how I would react with my cage in a similar circumstance.
