    I've gotten over 16k out of 2 Avon Venoms, and working on the third one now. Just my

    Looks Great Mike. Might as well take it for a putt today and show it off, should be warm enough.

    Hey Mike, We have a member Dave Wells (Dave_Wells) in that area. Nice guy, even bought me lunch in Pinkerton on my way through once. Maybe shoot him a pm in case he hasn't seen this. I just hope it's not his bike, as he has an 06 rstd. Later, Scooter Bob

    Why, is that rooster incident still on your record???
  7. Scooter Bob
    We'll mark it on the calendar Orlin, sounds like a plan. Later, Scooter Bob

    Ya never know when one of them Wisconsin boys might show up either. As you can see, I've got two states to fill in on that left coast yet. Later, Scooter Bob

    I just had a thought Jeff, (Ya, I know, it don't happen often), You should probably hang onto all paperwork/reciepts associated with this engine change and perhaps have your brother check with the DMV type folks down there and make sure things are on the up and up as far as paperwork is concerned with the engine swap. I know it probably won't be scrutinized like an HD would at a rally, but these things do get check at certain places so be aware.

    Darnit, Black Owl beat me to it. That's the first thing Karen said when I told her about this thread. You'll shoot yer eye out. LOL Later, Scooter Bob

    Very nice lookin' scoot. Your twin brother "FlyinFool" should get a lot of ideas from that.

    I thought maybe he was a W.H.O.R.E. at some point in his life... "We Haul Our Rides Everywhere".

    I think you're right, I've been to Californy, but not on the scoot, so it's still blank. Maybe next year I'll get those two on the left coast. How did yer bike get to Californy without riding it through those others?
  14. Scooter Bob
    Ya, but it's right. I suspect in the day they weren't that good at laying out and making cams. It has a big wide cam with a lot of lift, gets timed to the crank, and then you adjust the lash so that it closes at the proper time according to a mark on the flywheel. I've seen several others and they all run with that much clearance.

    I think that's one of the really neat things about these old slow engines, you can see all that stuff working. Now, I need to find one with an open crankcase and a hit and miss speed control.

    We bought this rusty old engine in September, and have been puttsin' with it ever since. It's a 1920 vintage IHC model M, 1-1/2 hp at 650 rpms. Just got it running a little over a week ago. This engine had a very worn egg shaped bore when I got her. Had a new sleeve tube machined and fitted to the IHC sleeve and then fitted to the old piston with new rings. Engine was very stiff, so I used my Fairbanks Morse ZD to turn it for a while before trying to light the M. [ame= ] [/ame] Had a few other issues to work though along the way, but here it is running on the magneto even. [ame= ] [/ame] I wonder how long it will take for everyone else living here to get tired of me starting it up every day?

    Not knife related but... Two times V4 equals V8 doesn't it??? Later, Scooter Bob
  18. Scooter Bob
    No, it's at a liquidator store\sculpture place north of Oshkosh, WI Later, Scooter Bob

    Maybe this prototype would cost a little less... Later, Scooter Bob
  20. Scooter Bob
    That is awesome engineering there. I bet it turns a lot shorter than this snow machine I saw last week...

    I found the first V4 motorcycle the other day, and it had two of 'em. I didn't notice where the throttle was though.

    Extra connector probably goes to the horn button. Changes the flash mode when horn is pushed. Later, Scooter Bob

    You can have my spare. I'll be home tonight trying to start my antique farm engine. Come on down. Later, Scooter Bob

    Seems way high for a modulator. I bought one a little over a year ago from Dennis Kirk for about $70. I can't find it there or JP Cycles now, but here's the link to the company. I had to splice mine in, but it looks like the have harness adapters now. http://signaldynamics.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=215&category_id=14&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=77 Hope this helps, Scooter Bob

    I have everything for a left (which is the clutch side on my bike) saddlebag. Not quite sure what you need, but both cover look symmetrical and may be interchangable side to side. Call me at work, so we don't waste anymore valuable free time. Later, Scooter Bob
