    As far as the gas to the house is concerned you might want to have a look at the gas pressure.. In my experence the gas lines to the house are usually steel. The gas line rust and gets pin holes in it. The pressure in the gas line is less then 1 psi. messured in inches of water colum.Ground water will find its way in and lay in low parts of the line. With the burners fired up the gas pressure should remain the same out of the gas valve.Aprox3.5 inches of water colum. If it has water in it the gauge will drop pressure and bounce back back up and down and if you have a gas hot water heater you can fire it up while watching the furnace burners. If one or the other burners drop pressure you will notice it. Only hope then is replaceing the gas line. This is just one of the worst things that can happen. Hope its not happing there..Many things can make the pilot blow out. cracked heat exchangers can expand the crack open when the burners are on and blow the pilot out as soon as the burners go out. Check out the heat exchanger with a small mirror and flash light. if theres a registrer on the plenum then maybe you can get a look at the heat exchanger there..Any way goood luck with your troubleshooting. hope its just a week pilot,thermocouple, or gas valve.. I"ve been in the furnace business now for over 30 yrs and these are some of the things i've found..Good Luck. Buy the way guys. People buy new cars for 25,000 and trade themin in less then 10 years, You buy a furnace for 3,000 and expect it to heat your home for 30 years or better? Go figgure!

    24x36 garage with a 75,000 btu oil furnace we took out of a house a couple years ago and i rebuilt. Gets the garage to about 70 in a half hour. Makes it nice for emergency car breakdowns and bike work in the winter. I do turn it off when im not workin g in there. Wife's jeep stays in the garage and my old truck gets the windows scraped in winter.

    Got stuck in a grove around a long corner going up a steep hill a few years ago on my 82 v45 magna. The grove was in the middle of a four lane and the bike felt like it was driveing on its own till I was able to slow down and get out of it. They repaved that road but the grove with the difference in height is still there. I watch out for that a lot more now and i would have slowed down to get out of that situation if i was you. Dont like to be there at all.. keep it safe...

    Thanks Skydoc:clap2::clap2: Just when I thought things coulden't get any better then owning a First Gen venture, I found this web site. Me and my wife who are very proud of our bike, traveled to the WV Skid in. There we met some great people and took a look at some bike,s. I left there and Bike ran better than when i arrived thanks to frends from this site. Today me and wife travled to SkyDoc's home and installd new carb diaphrams and tweaked the carbmixture screws along with a carb sync. I'm proud to say 46.6 mpg on the way home. Best mileage yet with the bike and the get up and go is great. This man Knows his first gen's. Hats Off!!!. Jean thanks for the hospitality we had a great time, and Earl cooks a mean burger if i must say so.... Again Thanks Earl & Jean.. p.s.-Deb found her key-it was in her shoes! go figure
