  1. first thing drain the gas and drain the carbs. Give it a soaking with seafoam or techtron for a few days, then drain it and add new gas treated with a double dose of seafoam or techtron. Put new plugs in it and start it up. You want it to run so the low idle jets get unclogged. Next if it still a problem you might try checking your manifold for pinhole leaks, they are known to go bad. If they are bad buy new ones from skydoc If they are good, sync is in order. If you have it running touch each exhaust and see if you have a cold exhaust.
  2. never could get my plactic welder from HF to work very well
  3. crush washer is missed alot, it's cheap and should be replaced each oil change, also I am a fan of torquing that oil drain bolt to specs 31 ft lbs and for the filter 12 ft lbs. washer part number is 214-11198-01-00 just a note the mechanic at the stealorship carries the yama and he said he uses honda's washer thats the same size because they are half the money, made by the same company and he buys them in bulk. Since the new bike is under warranty I use all Yama's parts.
  4. I would check to see if the cb was on first, try turning that off Not sure what bike you are talking, on first gen the antennas go through a am/fm cb combiner on second gen your cb should be on the left ( It has the tuning coil ). If you are on a first gen try bypassing the combiner ( Do not key up your cb while antenna disconnected).
  5. I agree, soo many things wrong is usually pointing to a bad , burned or broken ground
  6. I replaced mine on my boat motor with an ethanol rated fuel line and it was little more, you can see a lining inside. Ethanol eats the rubber, if your fuel filter has a black tinting that Is the hose breaking down and the hose is not all that long. You should be able to find it in a marine or at a auto store . . . the hose rating will be stamped on the hose and you can do a search on the rating. Marine hose is stamped us coast guard, but because it's stamped does not give it an ethanol rating, you want SAE J1527 . http://www.fishsafe.info/Ethanol%20&%20Biodiesel%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf
  7. heal quickly and painlessly . .
  8. but if the ice maker stops making ice or makes smaller ice, change that filter and it will work again
  9. Tryin to beat Chi town traffic??
  10. an actuator could be set up to retract it if being down is a problem.
  11. almost room to slide it out from between bag and tire forward and down, pivot back up and slide back to store. . .
  12. Ok it came, mp3s were converted from ipod acc files. Sounded ok as a stand alone mp3. Sounded scratchy when on the venture. Adjusted the output volume down on the cassette mp3 player and it sounded better, not great. You must charge the mp3 player before use, don't know how long it lasts for but it came with lighter plug, house plug and headphones. Not bad with headphones. On the bike if you ff the cassette it goes on an endless search for next track. Using the remote that came with it works well, not what I want to do while driving.

  13. Lot of tight pipe bending with mandrel bender but I don't see why not. Would use ss pipe on those puppies.
  14. I don't see that it uses a separate power source for the power to your lights. You want one that isolates your trailer lights and has a separate power source so the lights are completely independent circuits.
  15. In the freezer top take out the top panel. If it is thick with ice the defrost is your problem. Get a hair drier out and defrost it. If your defrost drain it could be the problem, more likely a thermostat or timer and both are cheap to fix. You can test them with an ohm meter. plenty of youtube video's or diy refrigerator repair things. Cost me about 28.00 to fix one at work doing the same thing. If you defrost it will work for a few days until iced up again and gradually get warmer.
  16. Aftermarket radio or remote starter??
  17. I have worked under STUPID, with STUPID. . . who were given instructions and incorrectly repeated it back to an instructor almost immediately at a training or shift briefing. We LEO's are an awesome group but we also remember that within our ranks there are those who just ARE. If you are carrying a weapon that is not safe with a round in the chamber, you just shouldn't be carrying that weapon. I remember an old Lieutenant that kept his hammer on an empty cylinder. We showed him you could not, would not fire without your finger on the locator button. Even pulled the hammer back, released with trigger and then taking our finger off the trigger let the hammer drop. Still had convinced himself that LEO's all over the country were shooting themselves in the foot without touching there weapons. Don't get me wrong there are some old crappy guns out their but anything worth carrying is worth carrying loaded. Chambering a round may be cool in the movies but the first thing a bad guy should hear is bang. . .
  18. red X
  19. We used to walk by and check out the condition of a cars interior when an applicant came for an interview, neat and orderly or trashed.
  20. It can be in a soft case, does not need to be locked or even a locking case but must be unloaded. Crazy thing is you can have a loaded magazine in the case with it and thats ok, but put the loaded magazine in the weapon and that constitutes uuw in Illinois. Most S/A'w will not charge it but that depends on what county you are in. You can take it into your motel room, tent . . . 2 situations where you can transport in Illinois are: 1) broken down and in a non firing state or 2) unloaded and cased it also must not be immediately accessible so under the seat is bad, glove box, behind truck seat or trunk are acceptable ( on bike in saddle bag ). They are out fighting those details now, At one point a off duty LEO could not carry in state park but a hunter could, welcome to Illinois , , , http://www.isp.state.il.us/foid/firearmsfaq.cfm
  21. Never seen that many trikes in one place, it was like every other one. Nice to C
