    OK, Where do you think the gas went?? I went out to the shed today to start getting the bike ready enough to ride to go and get the new tires mounted. After a winter of sitting in the dark and the cold in the shed all alone, it did not want to start. It turned over just fine. But no so much as a fart. Hmmmmmm Then looking at the dash I notice that there are no bars showing on the gas gauge. Now when I parked it for the winter I filled the tank to the top with fresh gas with some stabil and some seafoam in it. I even got the gas from way up nort so that it would not have alky in it. So I opened the tank filler and sure enough, completely empty. There is no sign of gas having been on the floor, and the oil level is normal. So I added a gallon of fresh gas and it started right up. Benn watching it and still no drips on the floor. I don't think it could have been the neighbors, the shed is locked, the tank is locked, and a jug of gas next to the bike is still full. Where do you suppose 5 gallons of gas could have run off to????

    I'll be right there......

    You might as well check out the starter while you are there. The thermostat hosing has to come off to get the starter out............

    I would call Canadian Cruiser. I might be under warranty.

    OK so I am about ready to spring to have ALL led lights on my 88 standard except for the headlight. I want to do the front and rear turn signals, running lights, brake, and all dash lights. I know that Superbrightleds carries them, as do others, but they have a boatload of different styles of 1157 light. and 194 lights. Can some one that has done this and is happy with their result let us/me know specifically which LED lights worked for everything. I can deal with the flasher and CMU issues. I just need the bulb info.

    Of course, just look at the polit............ Oopie, I almost used the "P" word

    My thought processes are above in blue. I guess that I just have a warped mind to follow the reasoning so quick. Now waiting for Mar 5 for the next set of clues. Maybe I can trade in the Rustang (After I play with it for a little while ) for a new Chevy P/U truck.

    So which one gave you the most trouble? The only one I had a problem with was the one with the dominos. But then I kept getting interrupted by my boss.......

    If the batteries are in parallel then you keep the same voltage and you do get more run time. With LiPos you are better off just getting a bigger pack than trying to make wire harnesses to hook them up in parallel.

    I will also take one at that price.
  11. Flyinfool
    You are correct

    Six Truths in Life 1. You cannot stick your tongue out and look up at the ceiling at the same time, a physical impossibility. 2. All idiots, after reading #1 will try it. 3. And discover #1 is a lie. 4. You are smiling now because you are an idiot. 5. You soon will forward this to another idiot. 6. There is still a stupid smile on your face . I sincerely apologize about this but I'm an idiot and I needed company.

    Just a quick update. Today the feeding tube came out. I was a little surprised at how much of a non issue that was. Just in the office, the doc says there will be a little pinch, he grabbed the tube and yanked it out, and put on a band aid. That was it. He is still scheduled to come home tomorrow. This will be the real test to see if my mother can make him behave. Even in his weakened state he is still a lot bigger and stronger than mom. And he does not follow instructions well. It will be an interesting day tomorrow.

    I have gotten into the habit of when I place an order at a fast food place I just automatically end with "and that's all". Most places will not try to upsell at that point, the ones that do will get to hear the standard "And what part of 'that's all' are you to stupid to under stand?" Yes I am old and getting cranky.

    I would use either the grease on the tap and drill trick and/or tape over the small holes in the bottom of the reservoir till you are sure there are no chips left in there.

    Yep The shorter answer is; It does not matter if the cells are in series or parallel, batteries always all drain at the same time.

    :sign yeah that: :sign yeah that: I do the same thing.

    I would try a Heli-Coil before I tried JB weld. The Heli-Coil will make it better than new. This is of course assuming you have the tools to put the Heli-Coil in. You can probably by a replacement master for less that the coil kit.

    One other thought. Check the temp of the rear end after a good long run, maybe it is getting hotter than normal causing it to vent more than it would otherwise.

    Nice job. Another one bites the dust. Reeled in hook line and sinker.........

    Yup it is getting here today/tonight. Those north of the snow line are expecting 15+ inches of and south of the line more than 1 inch of rain. That line is just about centered on WI. I am south of the line so I have to hope that the storm drops south some so I can share in the fun. Not looking good for that though.

    But you do not have to worry about anything in your garage rusting for a while.......

    I don't know about that. The old handheld gun that I have is used to clock model airplanes, they are mostly balsa wood and or plastic, but the gun picks them up just fine. Radar guns also have no problem picking up a baseball. Even a 1st gen has a lot more metal than a toy airplane or a baseball. Maybe they feel sorry for us thinking that all we can afford is an "old beater" bike.

    My experience has been that most solvents strong enough to get thru the paint will find the plastic to be no challenge to dissolve. I would fire up the DA sander.
