Big Tom made Freebird cry, er, no, he made his eyes sweat.
dingy replied to Bummer's topic in Watering Hole
Might I add that the jacket in question is still formed into a shape that a reasonable person would see is a very close match to the shape of the bucket in the defendants left hand. Gary -

This is as close as I got to capturing the THROW But it might hold up in court. Gary http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT0369x.jpg -

Can you change the length of your CB antenna? This will de-tune the radio. I know it will affect transmission, but not sure about reception though. When I was into CB's, we would use a SWR meter to tune the antenna for optimum performance. http://www.roadtripamerica.com/Equipment/How-to-Tune-a-C-B-Radio-Antenna.htm Gary

Can use some help!
dingy replied to ActionJax's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Jack, Where are you at in Akron? Maybe I could ride over some day. I have some experience with an 83. I have a poker run planned for Saturday. I am in Mansfield, about 60 miles west of you. Gary -

Freebird's latest effort to stem overuse of paper at MD. Attendees had to see Boss for each ration of paper. http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT0383s.jpg Gary

The cable can still be unscrewed from the speedometer head and appear fine at bottom end. See if you can move outer cable up and down where it goes up into fairing. If you can, it may be detached from speedometer head. Gary

Other than Mini & MarCarl doing table dances, it was pretty calm group. Gary

The tach is triggered directly of of the primary side of the #2 coil. This same circuit, also triggers the fuel pump relay. If bike is firing on #2, & fuel pump is working, it probably indicates this part of circuit is functioning. Problem most likely lies in tach head. Gary

The carnival is under way. Gunboat and daughter sarah, Goose, E-fishin, Four Paws, RandyR, and myself were there. Freebird & Eileen of course. Passed a couple of Ventures just as I was leaving to come home for the night. You are going to miss a hell of a party if you aren't going. Have over 80 people signed up for dinner tomorrow, and MD isn't until Saturday. Gary

The oil that leaked out of the middle gear is engine oil. There is only one oil reservoir for the engine/transmission/middle gear. Not 3, like some Harleys. Gary

Fill it at the clutch master on left handle bar. Remove two screws and fill reservoir. Gary

The cruise control reads the speed via a magnetic read switch mounted in the speedometer head. If speedometer cable is broke or otherwise not functioning, cruise will not work. Also check that speedometer cable nut has not loosened at speedometer head. Gary

I made a custom road peg mount for the bike this week. These let me stretch my legs all the way out. When they were mounted to the crash bars they were not far enough forward. Gary

Get a piece of 5/8" all thread at least 20" long. Put two 5/8" nuts on each end and lock them down against each other. Slide this down in top of fork after spring has been removed. The bottom nut will engage the damper rod. Hold top nut with wrench. All thread & nuts were about $8.00 at Lowes. Gary http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT0016.jpg

Spark Plug Heat range 7 or 8 ?
dingy replied to kj5ix's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Look at your old plugs. How many threads up from the bottom are blackened on the plugs. Should be about three threads for proper heat range. Gary
