    assuming this is a 307 olds motor,the fuel filter is inside the fitting that attaches to the carb fuel line,you must disconnect the fuel line first.this screws into the carb.it has the filter and a spring inside of it,it also has a nylon seal at the end of the fitting when you unscrew it off the carb
  3. oldgoat
    yes dano they did i know your thinking fuel injection .

    ok well i didnt wreck the battery thank god. went up did some cleaning. pulled the false tank cover. pulled the battery. cleaned the battery box. cleaned the cable ends. got down on the floor. used some baking soda and got up there with tooth brush and cleaned by the starter. looked for the ground strap to the engine? ok is someone pulling my leg? i just cant seem to find where the neg. cable goes? i put it all back together. went for a half hour ride. if i get caught doing this my sister will kill me. not supposed to be on the bike till docotor says i can in or around may? i do have some balance issue. but hey i do have my good days. and i used my leg braces. any ways the bike has been starting fair after warm up/ not sure i solved the problem? ok not sure if some pepole do this or not but i use vasoline on the ends to the battery. i have done this to many bikes i have owned and it seems to help with preventing corrosion? also have them red and black felt type things that the bolt goes thru.. ok so now may i ask another question. what type of anti freeze to use my over flow is empty. and whats proper mixture? i had it drained and filled when i had the brakes and the exhaust fixed. some how that mechanic. didnt check the over fill. or im guessing he didnt do the drain and fill and charged me for it? now when some extra $$$ comes in i will contact skydoc17 about the cable update. a guy down the road said he has 2 vmax starters for sale $80 a piece. came off of some 90,s? not sure if vmax starters will work? im thinking new brushes and do dingy,s ground update. and cables and should be good to go. also need a carb sync .

    ok thanks everyone the battery is a glass mat . after getting my poor old body down low enough to look up at the starter. the cable has green crap on it. looks like cleaning is in order? i think its time to do some serious cleaning of things connectors and so forth. it could be that the battery is not fully charged. it was on a tender. but found out the storage place blew a transformer about a month ago. and they where with out power for like 3 days. i think my battery tender and circuit breaker was shut off to my unit? i have plenty of time to do little things to the bike as i am not fully recoverd enough to realy take the bike out. i just did some parking lot driving.

    today i took the bike out for a warm up ride. i let it warm up its running rough. must have had the winter blues? anyways i just drove up the block to an old abandon grocery store and drove around the parking lot. huge lot. i rode around for about an hour. just getting the feel of the bike again and with this knee brace on the left leg. well i stopped the bike. got off and went around back to take care of some personal buisness. went and tried to start the bike. starter turned over slow like a bad battery? battery showed it was low on the green down below 12? well i went oh crap. my car is just down the road a block. i will go and get the battery booster out of the storage shed. then i thought well i drink my gatoraide before i slow walk down there. well after about 15 minutes i said let me try it again. turned on the switch. hit the starter button and vroom it started. but im hearing a strange noise? not sure if its the starter or the water pump? a whirrrrrrrrrrr noise? thought the starter button was stuck. but recalled i replaced the whole throttle and starter button with a nice working one. just before i put the bike up for storage. oh i bought a new battery just before i out it away too. and will need to do the sensor mod. have to figure out how to do that after installing skydocs fuse panel. anyways what could it be?

    as one who has MS i know how hard this can be. there are medications that can help but there is no cure as of now. talk about the inteferon beta shots if she has MS its a once a week injection. and it helps to controll flairups. and to reduce MS from progressing. i have what is called progressive relapsing MS. sinc 1990. since i started this medication. i had 4 relaps that put me in the hospitial. my prayers go out to her.
