When she wen't down
snyper316 replied to snyper316's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
OK so I stand corrected it is the big hose that comes off the bottom of the Radiator it is in pretty bad shape it definately need to be replaced so thanks for pointing me in that direction before I lost all my coolant its not leaking bad while cold but seemed the warmer she was getting the more she leaked. It isn't pouring out but a pretty good trickle. -
Ok so I did find a scuffed plastic elbow. However after @Flyinfool pointed me in the direction of checking for a leak of antifreeze sure enuff there was a small puddle underneath Marie. To answer your question @cowpuc rather then make a tech forum in the watering I moved this way to answer the question. The rubber hose I am talking about is wet from antifreeze but what you showed is rather close I believe thats where my rubber hose goes to. I tried to identify it at yamaha parts house and wow couldn't tell you which hose it is.All I can really say it is on the inside between the elbow and the takes antifreeze to a metal hose. Been trying to find a new house to rent. Landlord is making no effort to do anything about the flue that fell. Been waiting for that since July. So now that its getting cold soon I have got to find that and trying to find a house with a Garage is about pointless anymore. I do not like the Idea of leaving Shorty or Marie out in the weather. I guess I spoiled myself having a *two car garage* Thats about all that fits in the garage is Cars, I used to park my Jimmy in there but could only do so on one side. Needless to say I am not sure what to think right now been here since 2010 his dad used to run the place and since he passed it just don't seem like he wants to have anything to do with fixing the houses. Waited 5 weeks for him to fix a drain I finally got that fixed. Would done the Chimney but there is no way I am going to do a $3,000 job for free or very little. So now that I have went way off subject I will get back to it. Anywho I dont think this is from the bike tipping over because it has leaked every once in a while and not very much. I guess I will be pulling the hose and taking it to Bumper To Bumper (Napa) and see if he can fix me up once again. I may even by 100 foot of his wire and by 40 Spark Plug caps and make some wires and sell them on Ebay!!

Once it's going over.....It's going over!

Ok I went out to check there is a leak but it appears to be a well aged rubber hose that appears to come from that area to the left side of the engine I would say a 2 inch round one and looks to be six inches long maybe. Looks very tight fit where it is. O there is an antifreeze mixing divot in the plastic pipe. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk -

I seriously thought you was WOT when you say they go all the way over. Stupid CHIT ROCK!! I have always had problems on two wheels on it. OK I had a 69 Mercury Montery with 390 under the hood and One time I did wipe out on a chat rock spot on a gravel road. I was only doing about 30. But chat rock has always spooked me on 2 wheels even on a dirt bike but they seem to have alot better grip maybe I need to get Nubby Tires on the Venture. Yeah I scuffed the lower fairing with the highway peg and got a couple of Cracks on my Right hand side saddlebag and she landed on the mirror. Woke up with my foot sore as heck but other then that just peachy. Seeing is believing sometimes tho. -

Please tell me you aren't talking about the t that is pressed into carbon#1. If you are you can do one of two things just by the number one carbon body or get the elbow that presses in and buy two fuel t's one to go between number 2&1 and the other one coming from the fuel pump and run either side to numbers 1&2 and 3&4.

OK this is really embarrassing But aproximately at 12:06 tonight I laid her over and she came completely over. I was like omg and in front of someone they were turning onto the road I was getting ready to turn into but I thought they was gonna go straight. So I am on that damned white chat and when I hit the front brake it cause just enuff to get that chat **** rolling. OMG there she went and I got the Hell outta the way all I could do is watch and jump!!! Hold on need some music. :fiddle::crying: Ok I think I am better. I think. Anywho's needless to say they were turning in the drive I was turning out of... I started walking towards My Friends house to get him to help me and one of them come down the driveway going man you ok. I'm Like I am fine Hit that brake and it locked the front wheel all I could do was get out of the way!! Anyways that guy helped me lift her on the gravel and I got out of there with my tail between my legs. Anyways @Flyinfool you were right. They do come all the way over I am glad I replaced that TCI cause it did like she was supposed to and shut down Good thing I think Considering I just filled the tank on her. Now I think I'm gonna play some COD to maybe get a little dignity back tonight. -
But yeah I tried linking my carbs but didn't like it. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

The Jason mod is from what I remember is exchanging lines and linking carbs all I simply did was remove the hose to the yics chamber and plugged the ports where the hoses went into engine now the inners I couldn't remember what someone did to never have to replace the caps. I just put rubber caps on and took the chamber out and put it in a box. Thought about leaving the two inner hoses and screwing bolt into hose and clamping it. But wasn't sure if that would work. But to get to inner hoses the carbs have to be removed to get into remove them and put the caps on. So if you ever need to replace the caps on the inside is a PITA!!!! I have read somewhere about the caps breaking I think the just ended putting bolts where the ports are. When I did mine I couldn't find the post. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

1983 Venture carb kits
snyper316 replied to Nightwind15's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
They will work with our ventures the only thing in that kit that don't work is the metering valve. Now if I remember correctly we could use the metering valve but only if we replaced the metering valve seat. Now if you want needle jets and such um thats a different story I believe those have to purchased individually. -
Part 33 Um sir I seem to have lost mine! I took Marie's appendix out when I was chasing that darned miss in her that ended being the Spark Plug Cap. Too be honest she does seem to want to rear back on me. Not sure about the mileage thing cause still waiting to hear back about my Sync Guages. Too be totally honest I cant really tell any difference in the performance of the bike but just maybe; Just maybe a little bit more kick and a bit of a rumble.
