    I've heard reference to that before... can't remember where or who... it's been a couple of years ago.... I wonder if the limiter is electronic in the TCI, or is it really valve float???

    Doesn't look like any rack I've ever seen before. I think they fed you some wrong info....

    Just for the heck of it disconect the battery for about 15 minutes and then hook it back up again. When you first start the motor it won't idle to well, but after a few minutes the computor will reset itself and things will improve.... Sometimes the computor get's confoosed....

    That looks neat!! Kinda pricy for what it is, but worth thinking about... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/65/4925/ITEM/K-L-MC25-Metric-Engine-Stand.aspx

    Early.... Had someone in the area fire up his Nasty Boys and woke everybody up in a 3 mile radius.... Grrr!!! I was waiting...no hoping... I'd hear gun fire, but no such luck.... I think splitting the case is way more than I want to get involved in so it's not a big deal if I can't while on the stand. Actually if it comes to that I'd go motor shopping... That's what got me to thinkin in the first place. I just picked up a new2me '91 and plan on tricking the thing out with gaskets, seals, polished side and valve covers, and painted block. Thought it might be easier doing this stuff on a motor stand...

    I wonder if using one of the old Venture frames you could make some sort of cradle??

    Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking but hoping I was wrong.... Sideways and aluminum might not be able to handle the stress?? Sure would be nice to be able to turn the thing over and work on the bottom without having to flip it on a bench...

    Any body ever mounted a Venture engine on one of those engine stands?? I've used them for big V8's before so I know the stand will handle the weight. What I'm wondering is will the V4 mounting holes withstand the torque??? Just looking for info from someone who's been there... Thanks.. I'm also on the hunt for an engine hoist. I'm getting too old to be lifting heavy stuff any longer. I'm finding I need to call someone to help with the lifting more and more often....

    A couple of years ago I picked up 3 generic sets for a MkI, and had to grind off the sides to get them to fit as they were too wide to fit down into the caliper opening.... I dont know if this is the same vendor???

    Nothing unusual about carb sets on Ebay lately. They're all over the place, and still pull big bucks even though there's a glut..... Dang it!!

    Wasn't me Luz.... Wish it had been closer. That stuff would have been mine. Who ever bought the stuff... hope it was one of our members.... could get their money back on the trunk alone... Career?? Nope, I just buy. Haven't figured out how to get rid of it yet...... Altough I bet there will be plenty of offers to help out when the time comes....

    DaveG a member here...and also on the Venturer board authored a great article about doing the conversion. IT's not a hash job. You aught to see the bike. It's awesome. I had the pleasure of seeing it at Ft Collins. V-BOOST

    I used to belong to Vagabundos and they have some great information on their website for anyone going south. As well as the latest info, you can also buy insurance thru them. http://www.vagabundos.com/hotbox.htm

    Everyone can theorize all they want, but it all comes down to this.. the economy sucks. Getting down to the basics, there's 10% plus unemployment, there's another 10% that aren't on unemployment but still unemployed, There's another $20% of the work force that are working but don't know if they'll have a job next week or next month. Do the math. That's 40% of the market that aren't spending any money for anything other than necessities. If you lost 40% of your potential sales income you wouldn't be buying anything either. Until the most prolific employer we have get's back on it's feet and starts hiring we're all going to have to tighten our belts. That employer is the small business man.
