Waiting with abated breath.

Something tells me that the 86 doesn't have them, don't remember dealing with them and can't find them in the parts fiche.

Leave it, it's working just fine.

Maybe you can explain what you mean by 'throttle shaft seals'. I'm kind of at loss.

Bum is still sleeping, so I can answer that for you. On the first gens the single antenna is used for both, on the second gens, oem is to use 2 antennas. There should be a splitter box on the 1st gens.

Are you trying to indicate that I don't know what I wrote? Check it out, it's MC friendly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=uE28NML0vG0

Seeee, He even helps out in the little things. Good news for sure!!!! Next time, crack open the plug, shoot some air into the area and you should be good to go.

Thinkin that I'm getting credit foe something I never even thought of,,,, yet. I think Mr Dawson was the culprit to start that thought line. This doesn't mean that I'm not right in my head or on paper, tyme will bare that out I suppose.

Is there any bubbling at all when you first start it? You'll need to look for bubbles at the rad cap and make sure the rad is full. If you have bubbles then? it would be a head gasket. Could happen from over heating.

Sorry,had to look that word up to make sure sure it means the same here as in little Texas. Vernacular: of, relating to, or being the normal spoken form of a language. Thanks, I knew we had it right!!😜

I ran Motorkote in my 85 with no issues at all.

Good to have you back, not very often we get to read English speak, but that might be better than Aussie speak written. Carry on, it's great!!

It sure is tough to read of these happenings. There seem to be good stories coming out about how the Covid thing is being beaten and held back, and others about how Covid seems to be raging ahead, but none as bad as India so far. Slowly the our general population is starting to come to realize the need in India. They are humans, created in the image of their Creator, and we need to show them our love. It's not always easy to love someone or somebody, especially if they live a totally different life than we do, but we need to do it, if for no other reason than that we are very well blessed. In the process of helping them in this life, we might also be able to guide them to a new life beyond this one, where there is no more pain or suffering. What a blessing that would be!!

Careful or he would be one dead sas....

maybe

The longer the tongue the more the trailer will cut the corner. Important thought when you only have 2 wheels pulling. Don't want the trailer to get hung up on something and jerk the scooter.

Replace the plugs, you'll like it just fine!

Somethin ain't right, I agree and would not trust that master cylinder. It may be the rubbers and then again it might not be.

Tell B2Dad happy birthday from us. Good to hear that he is getting older.

Secured to the front of the bike, could be anywhere, but what ever you it to, can't move and needs to be solid, like part of the frame.

How did I know you were going to say that?

Not saying I would attend, would like to though, but I think you have an awesome idea!! Go for it!!!

Try moving the 'choke' lever in and out and follow the movements of the linkage.

Gotta start from scratch and that would be the gas tank. Need to eliminate that you might have some water in the bottom of the tank, so chuck in a bottle of methyl hydrate, called gasline antifreeze. That will soak up the water to clarify that part of things. Yep, check your plugs, although I doubt that to be the issue. Just because you had work done on the carbs doesn't mean anything useful was accomplished. Make sure that the enricher valves move all the way in when you push back the 'choke' button. Pull and push on the choke and watch that the valves actually move all the back to seating at home.

Let's put it this way. If everything is hunkie dorrie, then when you adjust the idle mixture screws there should be a change in engine rpm. You say that's not happening, well then things are dorrie hunkie. Seeing as the idle mixture circuit is hard to clean, I can understand that many times the side port is not cleaned in the rebuild process, yes the port going into the throat of the carb gets cleaned, and that is what you can see, but you can't see the port on the side. If that is plugged or restricted, the idle mixture screw will have little impact. Just for fun let's go over this again. Balance the carbs to perfection, not to the point of 'good enough' or ' that is the best I can do' , you want them all at the same vacuum level. Now with the gauges still attached, play with the idle mixture screws. Gently turn them in until the vacuum starts to drop, then back them out and you should see the vacuum come up, keep backing them out until the vacuum goes down once more. The half-way mark between the changes is the sweet spot. If you have no change in vacuum then the idle mixture circuit is not working.
