The electric fuel pump on my old '64 MGB. Kept the batteery cover off and a hammer close by in the back for when,, as I was cruising down the highway, the fuel pump stoped going click click. A couple of persuasive taps and then clickety click click and all was well again...

Looks pretty good and if that is the true mileage it ould be a heck of a deal. Clutch problem could be the master cyl or slave cyl. Only a short time left... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Venture-1984-Yamaha-Venture-NO-RESERVE-03-136_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6718QQihZ013QQitemZ230238626987QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

We WERE planning on attending, unfortunately we have a wedding to go to that day so I guess we will have to wait until next year...

The difference being the newer 1st gens had a bracket welded on to them for fastening the lower fairing scoop to them. They are physically interchangable otherwise.

Warning light on my '87
bongobobny replied to dkaiser's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
It could also be broken solder on the pin of the dash onnnector, or corrosion on the connector should you find that both brake light bulbs are lit... If you replace the bulbs with LED's that will also cause the light to come on. -
Yes, they are standard metric bolts available at Home Depot, Lowes, or any good hardware store. You should use zinc plated if posible for rust reasons. The rubber grommets are where the side panels hook in, and they can be acquired at the same places. Sorry, it's been a couple of years since my fairings were off, but I will have them off some time this year for front fork replacement...

My thoughts, possible bad solenoid contacts, which wil amke the positive lead heat up to the solenoid, or possibly coroded ground conection on the negative side of battery. The stock battery wires are enemic at best and should be upgraded to thicker wires, available on this site, but the way you are describing how hot the solenoid circuit is getting makes me think bad solenoid...

You can save money and use the 680 instead of the 680MJ. They are the same batteries except for the outer metal jacket. The Odessey is well worth the money, and have more power than the standard wet cell.
