carb sync or diaphragm replacement
mraf replied to BlueVenture87's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I don't believe that the diaphragms will be shot just by opening them up. If they have never been changed in 24 years there is a good chance that they are bad. There are quick fixes to be found by doing a search on here if thats what you want to do. Probably could use a carb sync if nothing else. -
Cylinder Head Removal
mraf replied to twigg's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You say it is torn apart. These bike engines will not run smooth without the air cleaner installed either. If you have the top removed take out the air filter and watch down the carbs as you increase the throttle. All of them should move somewhat evenly. If not you need to investigate the offending carb. Seafoam won't hurt either. -
South Dakota, we went wind riding through your state back in 04. The only time I've ever felt the bike lift up and fly for a few feet. THAT WAS A RUSH!

Right.

ODJ didn't mind being stopped. His prerogative. A&S is now the guy I want for President. I know, I know Smart A##.:rotfl:

Lots of good points. Thought it was in Monkeyboy1969s post that comes to the real culprits behind traffic stops in general. New York State. Welcome to the "Empire State". Its not called that for nothing! We have many ways of making you pay and keep in line.:mo money:I stand behind my first comment BS.

We had to do a very quick slow down to keep from rear ending a car that was trying to miss a rolling semi tire in Cleveland, Ohio. Semi didn't stop until he was miles away. He was then strapping down the other two tires he was carrying on the flatbed.

Congratulations. Now remember from here on out everything runs uphill.

The Census Bureau and the Association of American Geographers consider West Virginia part of the south. According to Wiki. West by God Virginia is a beautiful state if I had to say so. We head down there occasionally to visit some of your states many caves.

Don't worry, there will be a new variety of Robin to take their place. It will be called a Scab Robin. It will look like a Robin, work hard to keep its new Robin job, but collectively it will not fly but will have to fly alone. The Robins job will still get done.

I second that! Winter sucks. Can't wait for the coyotes to finish off that rodent like they have here. Then we wouldn't have to put up with its foolishness.

"We're actually protecting them as much as anything,'' said Senior Trooper Andy Sinquefield, of the Georgia State Patrol. "We're making sure they're compliant, but at the same time, it's making the motorists around them more aware by seeing them in here that motorcycles are on the road.'' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:If you can't tell them the truth baffle'em with BS!:rotfl:

Prayer sent for her speedy return.

What you really mean is "If only the powers that be Canadians cared what Canadians have to pay for gas". Right?

OH. Thank You.:rotfl::rotfl:I knew there was a reason.:rotfl:

Seen my first Robin! Thats a start. Blowing a south wind so hard here now its probably being detained at the Canadian border by now.

One thing I noticed when traveling in Ontario was the traffic signs for major roads are very,very small but the signs for local roads are Freaking huge. Not something bad but something annoying if your trying to get around.

Thats funny! Thanks.:rotfl:

Thanks to all who responded. The weight loss I understand because we've seen him go through the same thing in Iraq. Thats why I asked about the food in general. Guess its just me thinking like a parent, you don't want to hear your kids hungry no matter how old they are. Like you said MREs are not fat food. The buying his own gear still blows with what we all pay our uncle. Thanks again for the replies just needed to rant alittle.

Having never served myself thanks to tricky Dick I don't know so hears my question. My son who has served 14 yr is now in Afghanistan and has been since last July and finally called us yesterday. After not hearing from him for three weeks. It was good to hear his voice again. He said that he was very tired and tired of being hungry. When he left he was about 205 and is now at 175. I have a hard time imagining this! How could we send these young men to fight for our country and not feed them? He is on a forward operation base and says things are heating up there now that winter is almost over. Seems the Taliban are fair weather fighters. We are sending him another care package today {food,magazines,tobacco products}. All I know is that this fries me. One more thing he has bought with his own money a Rangefinder and a tactical jacket with lots of storage pockets. Which we have sent on to him. This I thought was unacceptable also that he is self funding our war needs.
