Often times the wick will get hard on the end and then refuse to go down, so you need to trim the wick occasionally. Some folks would trim it lower on the ends than in the middle giving them more fire than with a straight wick, now that is for lamps and may not apply to heaters. As for the fuel, stays good almost until you use it. If it is gelled, as this is what will show it's age, mix with some fresh and with probably work just fine.

Wobbely Goblin, sort of.

That's what I would be checking right after the rear shock and before I ride. Pegscraper knows!! -
Maybe this will help, but you might need help to acess it. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:lAJ62eqfb69q6M:http://www.blog.rlarmstrong.com/images/long_rear_view_02.jpg

Did you actually go out to look, or are you going from memory?

What thing about Onatrio and BC, everyone knows how good Ontario is, there's no need to talk about it any longer, BC knows it's place, it's a way out on the far end of the country, got to be a reason our forebears gave it that spot out there, but left Ontario in center stage.:happy65:

Agreed!!!!!!!!!! Yamaha has no idea of the real market place, here they go and put a tape player with a storage compartment in our scoots and my tape is much too large, won't fit in the compartment and neither can I jam it into the player, just absolutely useless I'd say. When are they going to get with the times?

Did you read right near the bottom, Not Available in the USA, maybe that's what that meant.

Replacing Spark Plug Wires
Marcarl replied to skooter's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The wires will not go bad but the rubber jacket will deteriorate, and leak out spark when wet,so they do need replacing. -

Now your job is to be looking after someone very dear to you, and enjoying your vacation, NOT POSTING on this site. Go on, GET, SCRAM, BE GONE, we don't want to hear any more from you until you get back. I think the heat must be getting to you, posting like that.

The Freebird: Kind of a square looking thing IMHO. Better looking trailers in the rest of the website. Real Dutch this, website, could have used a better translator. Kind of cute language in the translation.

Well that answers it, you got a bum headgasket. Don't run it no more or you will screw the engine if you haven't already. One gallon of coolant through the engine does not bode well. You'll need to pull the engine and do a headgasket on that head. While you have it out, I would first take the time to pull a main bearing or two and see what shape they are in, if they look good then pull the head and check the cylinder walls for scour marks, if that looks good put in a new gasket. If the bearings show scouring or excessive wear or the cylinders show misuse, you either have a lot of work and expense ahead of you, or you need a new power plant. Man that was tough to type out. I hate bad news, specially when it comes to friends or a scooter. Keep us posted.

Congrats Boss, You really got it made with her, but then, she really got it made with you. Enjoy your time together, discover new things, reach outside the box and forget about us. We'll still be here when you get back, maybe not in one piece, but what the hay, we can't wait to have some fun.

A compression test will not tell you anything if there is a leak between the water and oil jackets. If you had a bad headgasket into the cylinder you would also smoke white out of the exhaust. You have water and oil in the spark plug recess so that does not come from a bad head gasket, the gasket is below the head and the plugs are above that. Seems to me you have a different problem. I need some clarification. Do you have water inside the exhaust and how how do you know that. What makes you think you got water in the oil, (by the way, you should not run it at all with coolant in the oil, not good at all for bearings and those sort of things that they put inside these engines). Is your coolant level down and is there any oil in the coolant. Need some answers to determine any more.

You guys must have it drier down there. I've tried the snomoble suit thing but near half froze to death at 28F.

Good luck in finding th 90 degree ends. You will need 90s for sure, as you know I made mine from straight ones.

I really don't want to hijack this thread, so you're free for now

I've heard that your not that big of a nut, and probably only about 3\4 there, so that would mean the bolt would max out at 1\2".

He won't hurt, or get tired, cage on his left a about to cut him off, he's finished.

You mention this site: that could include a lot of guys So you mention Santa: that makes it a large person, and so narrows it down to about half. Where it is going: would indicate personal involvement. Pay back: would tell us who's got money to be on holidays. Play a joke: Only a few of us would do that, so that narrows it down. Get even: would refer to someone that's level headed, there goes most of who might be left over. Think on it for a while: would indicate you need to locate him first, so he must be on the move. Any guesses at this point before the culprit admits that he knows that Dale now has flowered undies?

Sorry, I was reading between the lines, not after the lines. After having 6 Kids I could just feel where this was going, and I was going to have to stick around to keep everybody in cheque. I thought of a way out, and I think it might work.
