" I drained the carbs, made a B-12/Techtron mixture, pulled the fuel line put it in the mixture bottle,turned the key, and it sucked it up just fine.. started it up, it ran ok at idle, I can see it drawing down the mixture as it ran, so it seems all is OK with the fuel system" This was bypassing the petcock, and you said it ran fine...until you hooked the hose back to the tank.

Most fuel petcocks have a screen on them, inside the tank. Drain your tank, pull the petcock out & check it.

Whew...that's better. Nice ride!

Rotate those pics please. Makes my neck hurt.

Supposed to rain up there this weekend anyway. Hope it's done when we come through.

Well, don't tell the host then.

I am now officially off for the next 15 days. Time to start getting things ready for New York. Oh...and make up a new batch of hooch.

Man, I wish you'd make a mount for that camera. Gets me dizzy twisting my head all around watching it.

Make sure & pack your little friend along with you. Memphis isn't the best place to be.

He said it was hammering, but weak, so the contacts would be ok. Only need them for supplying the 12v to the pump.

No thanks. Seen all of Europe that I wanted to.

I ordered mine from Rick's Motorsport. Google it.

Use this. It works very well. http://www.thegsresources.com/garage/gs_statorfault.htm

Nope. I'll be:Venture:

Glad to see you made it home safe.

Not going to cross. I will be careful aboot that...eh? I am getting the passport card, instead of the book. Canada is the only place I'll be going, anyway.

Fuel filter is good?

Well, I finally got around to filling out the form for my passport. Never had one before. Only traveled abroad with the U.S. Military. Now I just have to turn it in, with a photo & proper IDs. Wish I would have done it a while back, so I would have it when we visit Niagara Falls next week. Oh well, at least I have the process started, so I can work on visiting some of our Canadian friends in the future.

I have had my camper at almost 600lbs, and my '03 never had a bit of trouble pulling it. Just uses more fuel, is all. Pulling it to New York next week.

Here is a pic of my cousin with him in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years back. He did alot of shows for the troops.

Sounds like too hard of a compound...or braking habits. I only run Elite 3s on mine. Am on about my 5th set. Great tires, although a little noisy in the curves.

Happy Birthday!! See ya in 11 days.

Keep an eye on it. That caliper could be sticking, causing premature wear on that side.

I had an old Massey Ferguson SST 500. That thing would fly. Would kill myself on it nowadays probably.

It's a 2nd Gen. Spin on filter.
