As long as you keep the pants on.

Contact @eusa1 Mike Eykamp. He’s the carb guy, if he can’t talk you through it he offers a carb rebuild or carb exchange. It’s not hopeless.

Guess I need to get off the fence before I get a sore crotch and make a decision. I’m gonna check on a cabin in the morning.

I used a local detailer, with a little negotiation he did the interiors and ceramic coated my crew cab and her Cherokee for $1100. My dealer quoted price was similar to yours.

I got out of HVAC 20 years ago and was messing with @uncledj since he’s still in it. We purged the lines with nitrogen when soldering to stop oxidation. The EPA and government got involved in trying to up the efficiency and drove the prices out of sight. Back when I started we could put the two ton in duct and all for around $2400.

Gee, that almost sounds like you’re working on refrigerant lines or something. 😁

Plain n simple to me is the best brisket. We get real creative on pork butts and loins. We dry rub with an array of ingredients and smoke em the same way. We never and I mean NEVER let our ribs touch boiling water like some. Now southern BBQ sauce is altogether different. Vinegar based, spiced up, and scrumptious.

Low, slow, consistent temp, The mantra of southern BBQ’rs. Smoke at a steady 225* with a pan of water in the smoker to reduce the stall. Cook til 160 internal, pull it and wrap it in foil. Put back in til 200*, pull it and put in a cooler to rest at least an hour. While smoker is warming trim the fat cap to 1/4” or less, trim all other fat and silver skin off. Rub brisket with mustard for a binder, use salt and black pepper for the seasoning. plan for 1hr per pound cook time.

Supposed to leak thru at a slower rate and more stable, I could see it in race cars but really see no reason on the road. I’m betting you can check the pressures from the driver seat anyway. My truck even sends a text if one gets low, no excuse for driving on low tires. I did get the ceramic coating on mine aftermarket, I hate waxing. Thinking of doing the bike next.

Just to be clear, the oil is 1/2 way up the glass with the bike setting straight up? A common mistake is to fill with the bike on the kickstand.

I’ve always heard this is an eating club with a motorcycle disorder, how many biker groups discuss smoking ………….meat? That being said I bought a 13lb brisket this week, throwing it in the smoker soon.

Got the front end and new shield back together from the bird strike!!! Gonna check brakes and flush fluids next few days. Thinking I’ll be able to make Asheville this year, my retirement present to me.

I use Walmart carb cleaner for situations like this. It makes an excellent degreaser. Outside and away from sparks.

I am with @Marcarl Will be checking with my travel agent(Phantom Wife) Y'all talking permanent vacation are making me anxious, guess I gotta be patient for 10 more days.😜

I referred a new owner here on FB this week, he showed up here the next day. I haven’t got kicked off yet. I’m not on the guy’s site you mentioned.

Welcome back. I’m in Calloway Co, West end of the state. We’re up the WK Pkwy pretty often, maybe we can hook up sometime.

@dfitzbiz

Welcome aboard. Like I told you there’s nothing that can go wrong on the bike you can’t find the answer here to. Tons of fun and get togethers for just $12.

Went through it buying the wife’s first new car years ago. Back then they had a first time buyer discount so we did it in her name. She signed most of the papers before I looked at them. He loaded it up with extras without asking. I read over the contract and ripped it in half in front of him, he too had to reprint and re-figure. Had his tail between his legs after that.

This part of the country they’re running 4K and up. Most are in the $6000 and up asking price, not necessarily selling price. Insurance Co valued mine at $6900 last week.

Congrats. Hope y’all enjoy it.

I've got 68,000 on mine and hoping to take off to Asheville next month. Runs great, no oil usage, and like setting on the couch. I hope to get another 150-200K out of it. I retire in a couple weeks and plan to run the wheels off of it.

The hot cylinder could point to one carb having issues running lean. I second the raising the rear to help handling. I’m 6’2” and love it.

If I get to make it I’ll be at a hotel nearby, Any recommendations on one? Don’t have to be fancy, bed n a hot shower as long as it’s clean.

I just moved my daughter to Gainesville, next trip down maybe we can grab a cup.
