Sync carbs on an '86
snyper316 replied to garyS-NJ's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
@skydoc_17 All I know it was extremely weird. I went to gas station and when I went to start it back up it was running funky. It was also dark but when I got back home I was smelling gas. So I pulled the airbox and that is when I noticed it. But while I waited for an answer I litterally washed the airbox pieces and let me tell you that Dawn Dish Detergent works extremely well on ethanol and grease looks almost new, as far as ethanol goes I have this app on my phone that is called puregas and will tell me where the gas don't have ethanol. There is two gas stations here in town. The previous owner however didn't know you could get non ethanol gasoline anymore. So when the carbs were rebuilt they were caked with ethanol and other grime. He even emptied a bowl into a baby food jar which I can't find. There was some white looking fluid rust particals. They were just nasty. I am thinking about using a clear tube to check float levels to make sure of that. So with me having the access to the Non-Ethanol gas should I run Sea Foam in all my gas still? The other thing I would ask is what exactly is in Sea Foam Because everyone swears to the Sea Foam. What exactly does it do? I know it helps keep things flowing as it should, I'm just a little curious on how it works. @bongobobny thank you for the pointer on the slides It made them puppy's so much easier to put back in. There was no question that they were seated correctly, The next new slides I get I will definately be remembering that pointer. -

Thats um confusing because I have seen ppl say it leans it and some say it richens it grrr anyways. While we talking about carbs My number 2 cylinder Carburetor slide is saturated with gas. Just curious what would cause that to happen because up till tonight it was fine. I am actually trying to figure out how gas got up and around the slide like that. Unless my peg wasn't seated on the slide needle right. But correct me if I am wrong here but doesn't fuel come out the hole that the needle slides in. Also it goes peg washer, E Clip, Washer, Spring then plastic screw? Sorry for Hijacking your thread but just a little on the confused side. I really don't want to have to pull these carbs again. -
A second opinion was not needed on these diaphragms.
snyper316 replied to CMCOFFEY's topic in Watering Hole
Yeah mine ran perfect till you tryed to give it throttle lol, other wise she purred like a kitten between cracked slides, Church Diaphragms, bad Air Cut Off Diaphragms. One had a broken spring. The only time I got any popping is when I gave her too much throttle and it sounded like it was missing 3 cylinders till I would top my hill then she would straighten out. I couldn't do the diaphragms I ended up buy the OEM which was 105 a pop and 2 used ones @75 a pop. -
Winterizing the gen 1

I am glad I don't live in your area, But when I was looking at places without a garage I checked into climate controlled storage units crazy thing was gonna take a 4x8 foot unit but that was just $45 here, $55 if I wanted the outlet it was also a slightly bigger unit. But no longer the need to move at the moment.I know Minot, ND they get some crazy snow and then the spring they have to worry about flooding. -
Prayers your way Heather, I never realized just how far away I am from Tennessee now days. I was thinking I could make there and back before kids got out of school, But I don't think Tinker is that fast. Darnit Hope you find someone.

Now the 4th deer I hit I was in a 93 Chevy Cavelier going down a back road shortcut home at 2 in the morning and she came out of nowhere. I slammed the breaks into a nosedive it flew over my car and into the ditch. Broke its back had to go get someone out in the back country up at 2 am to tell them I needed them to shoot it. So he came up with me with his gun and sure enough its back was broken. The guy shot it I asked him if he wanted it. Guess it was just to early for him he said just make sure you report it and gave me his number just in case conservation gave me any hassle about why it was shot because all my car got out of it was a small dent in the hood. Was sure some good eating tho...

Hey this is not always true as I have hit 4 deer with my vehicles, 2 out of 4 were facing towards the woods and like jumped a starting heading up from me then all the sudden made a 180 towards the road. I have been in a car where the damned thing literally ran into the side of the car. Never did find that deer guess he was ok and ran off.

Hey I hear I want this Dvd Along with the rebuild I wouldn't think it would be much different then my motor. However I do wonder if I can buy a vmax motor and do a straight swap. -
I was trying to do some math in my head is why I was asking because I bought 10 foot for 6.60 plus tax then I bought the caps from the motorcycle boneyard/shop just thinking about making sets up and selling them. But at $20 I really wouldn't be making much. But I believe pre-made sets go in upwards of 35-40 bucks... I just need something to do, At the moment other then a few things to tinker with in off season I have nothing. My son wants me to do wood working I don't have the tools to do it. I would like to make tables and chairs to sell but, most people go well I can go to Wal-Mart and get it cheaper. Don't understand the logic of pressed wood furniture.

My coil points used to look like that so I took some wire and inserted and exited repeatedly till I didn't see it no more then blew the rest out with the CRC Electronics Cleaner. That may be backwards but it seemed to work. I ended buying wire just because by the time I got done trimming they were being pulled kinda tight and thought that was creating my miss. Come to find out it was a single cap but figured might as well replace them all.
-
Just curious where did you end up getting your wire and how much was it?

I guess I haven't a pleasure of messing with the cables my push cable has been busted since I got the bike.. as far the video there is no real link you have to purchase them. -
That's what happened to me I just couldn't get the right so I had to pay someone to do it for me. They can get some things we can't. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

snyper316 replied to garyS-NJ's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
as you can see in this picture there is at least an inch to pull this plunger out so unless you can pull the choke rod while the rack is on the bike then there is no way to get them out without removing the rack. -

snyper316 replied to garyS-NJ's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I was kind of interested in this trick. The problem would be is the fingers that pull the plungers for one, the other is you have to pull the rod to get to the fingers, and the only way I know you can pull them is to pull the Carbs. -
Well being it is cold here but he said something about our bikes sitting by a lake during a sunset or sunrise.
