    Now my mother told me that running at the mouth is not quite the same as running on the road, so be careful little lips what you say (or fingers what you type).

    ya but will it fix the 2nd gen CHIRP?

    Glad to hear you're ok Ed, Heal well and stop by sometime, kind of miss seeing you.

    Thanks for posting, if I still had that age of kids I'd take advantage, but I do have grandkids so will pass it on. Carl

    My first guess would be a collapsed hose.

    So with the clutch pulled the chirp stops, but then the pressure on the primary gear is also released and therefore it may run quieter. In my non-professional opinion I think the gears behind the clutch are causing a vibration which is then picked up by the basket and amplified by the fingers of the basket. Either we change the gears or fix the basket so it can no longer amplify sound. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had lunch and now going for supper.

    Don't know about that, but it would be a day or two before arrival and we think we need it sooner, so any bearing will do and then some what less expensive. Thanks Squeeze, you are really the helpful kind.

    Wonder what the power consumption is. There is only so much available on our scoots.

    Can someone tell me what the NON YAMAHA number would be for the steering head bearings in an 84 Venture?

    Ok, so now you admit an error and that't great, you did have me confuzulled for a bit but now I lead you down the path a little further because I tink we is getting close to an answer. The noise I assume, and I assume only at this point, and I need to assume something so that that it gives me a starting point, the noise is mainly coming from the gears, but the gears on their own would not put out the amplification that we tend to hear, so we have a clutch basket that will. In fact, the basket, if looked at a little differently is actually a whole set of tunning forks, you know the kind that muscians use? I say that the vibration from the gears is setting these tuning forks in motion and once that happens we hear the results clearly, that's why some baskets will whine and other don't. With this assumption we need to stop the tunning forks from vibrating and the way I thought to do that was to cut a small groove aroung the end of the forks and install a spring such as is installed at the base of these forks, this would dampen or, hopefully stop the vibration all together and so we might loose our familiar whine. Now I need a used whinning basket to try this with. Any help?

    One thing about you plumbers, you think everything is always connected(until the water pours out somewhere lol). Anyways, I need further explanation. If I understand it correctly, you took out the clutch, basket and all, then covered the opening to prevent oil from ending up where it shouldn't and then fired up the bike and ran it up to 2000 rpm, and still had the whine present. Now, being as I'm just a 'butcher' I may not understand all things, but this does disengage the transmission, does it not? so if the whine is still present it would not be the tranny? but something in the engine or between the engine and clutch?

    I'm not a Master Plumber, just a master butcher, but two things can be done in error here and I stand to be corrected: One is as discussed, not threaded in far enough and second would be almost the same and that is that the threads were cut too far up the pipe and so giviing the same effect: Not enough material for strength.
  15. Marcarl
    I noticed on your picture all the threads left open on the end of the pipe. Using the info posted so far, all good, you had very little pipe into the elbow, so had a very weak spot there. Not that I recommend anyone building this, as also previously posted, but if you do attempt to build it, make sure the threads are together as far as possible and your luck may hold out somewhat longer.

    Could not have been said better. . Wait for us Dave, when we're done here we'll join you. . God, take care of his family thru this time of trial.

    Really nice, I'm almost jealous and would be if I didn't have a 1st gen myself. Enjoy
  18. Marcarl
    Amazing how it all worked perfectly, now if they could only get some WORK done, or ride.
  19. Marcarl
    If you have problems finding it or getting to it, post your problems, there's lots of help here, you know that. HEEEEEEEEEEY Pyyyyyro????????

    Back brakes were listed as not working, so you might need some fluid and a way to bleed them. As for the carbs, run it on WD40 until it warms up, often this will loosen some of the thinges necessary for it to work at all, and WD40 will do no harm to the cumbustion chambers, and it will also help lossen up any crud in the system. Use a spray can and spray directly into the carbs.

    You left out Pledge. Try it I love it, but am not sure about the time factor, that will come with age. This is the first year I've used it and so far have had two riders ask me if I got my scoot repainted.

    I could do it in Dutch but Flemish will have to be your department. You're closer. We get quite used to translating German\English so now it's your turn to do the Flemish.

    Ok I'l stick my foot in it, after all nobody knows me anyways and so can't point a finger and say: there's that dummy. Nackered: Finished, barenaked, all done in, nothing left.......... Cutting: A place of protection from the wind, most likely a build up of land to the right or left, or both. Could also be trees on the side of the road, or buildings. How did I do?

    So sneekie that I didn't even know about it, but you're right Brad, we have a great family.:happy65::happy65:

    And we're not sitting around waiting for parts or repairs, or out hunting the roadsides for what was left behind on the last trip.
