Here are Tom's pics. He's having a problem uploading them for some reason.
-
I absolutely don't understand the confusion...hmmmmm
-
Annie, I think you are a very nice looking couple. You look as sweet as your posts reveal you to be. Thanks for FINALLY posting some pics.
-
HEY...that's a VERY SPECIAL CAMERA. Besides, it's probably trying to predict when it might sell. Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in old bikes in this economy. A year ago these things were bringing pretty good money.

Sorry about that. I have added her but if you want her removed again, you're gonna have to send me that $100.00.

I pasted the link wrong....it is there now. Sorry about that.

Well folks, it was fun but it is time for somebody else to enjoy it now. I have just listed my bike on Ebay. If anybody is looking, now is the time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Honda-CT90_W0QQitemZ300327944924QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_motorcycles?hash=item45ecf0c2dc&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12|39%3A1|72%3A317

You bet..and thanks for all the input. Even though it turned out to be a 30 cent nut instead of a $500.00 pump, I still learned a lot from all the posts. Thanks much to all.
-
OK...so now I feel pretty stupid. uh....THANKS though. The bolt had come out of one end of that dampener. I WOULD like to say that it is VERY WELL HIDDEN.

No spring behind the square shaft. There is a spring though that connects between two tabs that does what you are suggesting though. It is find. In fact, I like to never got it back on.
-
No, square end on the shaft with a metal plate with a square hole. I checked to make sure it wasn't slipping. I've looked everywhere and not found one. Haven't found any kind of parts list or anything else for the pumps, only complete units. Yes, I still have it. Poured out and strained the oil when I changed the filter and saw nothing. I now that is not definitive but I think I would have seen SOMETHING. I thought about that but even not running, the left side just almost flops back and forth but the right side has pressure to moving it back and forth.

Here is a link to the hydraulic setup. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=snapper&mn=HZT21480BV+(82533)+48%22+21+HP+ZTR+Twin+Stick+Series+0&dn=10465 http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=snapper&mn=HZT21480BV+(82533)+48%22+21+HP+ZTR+Twin+Stick+Series+0&dn=10467

http://store.wisesales.com/snapper-hzt21480bv-zero21480.html Possible but a lot of work. They are reversed. Looks like you would have to pull both, disassemble them and then reassemble them reversed out how they are.

HEY....it's been two years since it went swimming.

Thanks for the replies. I've tried bleeding it to no avail. The two pumps share a reservoir and filter and it tees off the filter for each side. There are bleed screws on each pump that you loosen then move the levers forward and backward slowly to bleed the air. I've done that an excessive number of times and it doesn't help. Both pumps share a common belt. There are pulleys under the more, one for each pump. One belt goes around the pulley, to the pulley on the motor. It appears to be tight and not slipping. I have not drained all the oil from the system. I guess I can do that and try to flush it out and re-fill. Not sure how to go about flushing it out though.

OK....we have people here that know something about a lot of things so decided to see if there are any lawn mower experts. The mower is a Snapper zero turn. It uses Hydro-Gear pumps and motors for the drive. It is not an integrated transmission. There are two Hydro-Gear pumps, one for each side. The Hydro motors and not integrated into the pumps. There are hoses that go from the pumps to the motors. I was mowing a couple of weeks ago when suddenly the left lever seemed to lose pressure. It still works and I can use it but while you feel decent pressure on the right lever when you move it forward and backwards, the left lever has almost no feedback/pressure. It is also slow to respond. The left wheel does work in forward and reverse but doesn't seem to have much torque. On a long straight run, the steering seems to work OK but if I am turning on a hill or something, the left doesn't seem to have near enough torque. So far all I've done is change the Hydro filter and tried bleeding the system. Nothing has made any difference. Does it sound like a bad Hydro pump or the Hydro motor? Running or not running, the right side seems to have pressure when you move it back and forth but the left side has almost no resistance to moving. Also, whether it be the pump or the motor, can they be repaired? I tried looking up parts and/or exploded diagrams on line but all I've found is the complete units at about $450.00 each.

I think it could still be the sidestand. It's been a long time since I have owned a first gen but I think that the sidestand actually activates a couple of different circuits. I THINK that there is a relay which will prevent the bike from starting that is different from the circuit that kills the bike. There are two sets of contacts on the sidestand switch if I'm not mistaken. The first thing I would try would be to bypass the switch and try to start it. Just because it kills the bike when you put it down does not necessarily mean that it is working properly.

I recently added this information to the tech library. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=355001#post355001]Thermostat Cross Reference - VentureRider.Org[/ame] I was later asked if these thermostats would also work in the second gen. I guess I could look up part numbers and etc. and try to figure it out but does anybody know right off hand if the first gen and second gen thermostats are the same?

FANTASTIC...I truly enjoyed that. VERY WELL DONE! Condor...it's just that the software I use here to embed the videos directly into the posts sometimes has to convert them in order to play here. Otherwise, it would just be a link to the site where they are posted. Most don't have to be converted but some do.

Yes, it was mailed yesterday. Sorry about the delay but I was out of town.
-
Also, you told me in an email that your battery voltage is 11.8. That is low whether it's a new battery or not.

For those who have removed the AIS system
Freebird replied to FreezyRider's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
For what its worth, I did not pull my radiator. I just removed the bolts so that I could move it forward just a bit. -
Sorry, I have an older set but they are for a open face helmet. Will not work with a flip up. Don
-
LOL....I think Dan has NAILED this one.

I don't think so. I just tried it and I had to click the login button but my username and password was already filled in. I just upgraded the chat software a day or two ago so you may have to do it the first time but it should save it after that. Anybody else?
