looks like a good turnout. who was the wild one? don

I know how you feel puc. there having fun without us just isn't right. maybe next time.

ha the belt would break in a week from dri rot

I've used one of those. practiced welding for a day with it then took the test. Manny moon ago........ passed all but one. should have started it with a new stick replaced it half way through.

http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?84613-Engine-rebuild. some time can we get the pics back.

there ya are

well took off pan looks like new in there. The 3and 4 cyl rods have more movement than others. Will have to wait till kid shows up so I can see what is going on when rotating.[ATTACH=CONFIG]105638[/ATTACH] There has to be a problem as if you try to just take off it sounds like a rod is going to kiss ya. And if you lug the engine it knocks. If I can find the problem now might be able to save it. When engine is louder than the exhaust and exhaust is slash cuts.

freebird can we have the pics for all this back.

Well it has the dreaded rod rattle when starting to move then after you get to speed you can here when exc. And running steady speed. Or there is a rod bent.

I think Randy has the right idea. The deck spindles and tensioner are getting up there in age, are they grease able. Fix and sell two for one commercial mower. Some one in area may have one left from last year. Make sure it has a good warranty. Most all the company's are owned by Murry.

Well I'm tired of messing with my 2001 motor. Does anyone know if a 2007 or up motor would go in? I know the carbs are bigger. So would have to replace them. If the exhaust and rest of parts would work that would be great. Then the only problem will be me getting it done. If I'm doing this want to upgrade. May even tackle v-max cams. First will have to sell a few things to pay for it, but that is fine got all the time in the world. But I'm done for this season. Was going to ride till it popped. Then got to thinking may kill other parts in processes that would be bad.

my 01 did that last year. did the same repairs but also replaced plug caps. Its starting to sound like a known problem....

well just so you know white grease holds water, throw it away. If you don't believe me put some in a cup and add a eye dropper of water in it. Will be gone in a short while.

what was it like out when ya picked it up. stormy, wet,,, cool, mama, blown, sweet chocolate, bright, ooo baby.

take a pic of tweeks have it made into a patch then put venture rider logo on it.

well I went to a different type of oil in the engine made a bit of a difference. Adjusted the valve shims helped also. My exhaust is to loud right now have to correct that. Do the simple stuff and go from there.

well its Puc's bike and Tippy's we will see what they decide. Will Tweeks get put in museum or become parts bike or mail box. This chapter will be full of suspense. I vote yes hahhaha.

that looked shinny now ya have to clean it. lol

even if its marshall town

I think I'm game cant think of anything I'm supposed to do.

Have any of you been to the grotto of redemption in West Bend Ia. Not much there but they have a camp ground. Don't know what is up in that area anymore haven't been up there in years. But you all need to drive by the egg plant in Fort Dodge. See how tough ya are.

will be there.

the 5.4 had cam fasers problems would get real loud and expensive. had a 05 f150 bearings went out of diff at 50.000 miles. brake calipers locked up took apart every one had a broken cup. the 4-4 shift went bad and had to replace all components. never buy another one......

well didn't hear ya come in. next time come in shooting so I know

Well got up the courage to take it out. That's the best its ever ran. Runs on all four may have to take plug off one cylinder for normal sound. lol Never took battery out this winter now going to have to buy a new one you only get two shots at starting. Forget something and your there. Next year have to replace mufflers to loud for me but will have to do this year. Also need a shield that will have to wait. I only spend so much on it then it has to give me enjoyment get my moneys worth and gives ya time to decide what ya want.
