Oops. Sorry about that. North Orange County. I could drive it to wherever, but then we'd have to let it cool down for a bit. And a longer day....
All this talk of the valves and their "issues" on the VF500F has got me to thinking I should check mine since the bikes are new to me. Was...
Wha wha wha? I just did the Seafoam in the carbs trick on my 84 to clean them out and get it running. How did you fix this? How did you know it...
Don't I know it. If it DOES happen to be the PG, it only lived less than 2500 miles. Not one for the record books...
Yeah? You mean once it's running/been ridden a while? I have not tried that method. Interesting idea. I never thought they would change once they...
That makes two of us. It happened again yesterday. Started it in the afternoon heading out for lunch. Started right up, first touch as always,...
Some nasty fotos of hydrolock @ Hydrolock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I've heard of this before, but never seen the results. Wow. That's...
Huh? Not sure I understand what you're asking. It was made by Targa (an aftermarket company here in CA) for the VF500F. They made them for a...
Typical half-ass dealer sounds like. I swear, I have walked into too many of them over the years with cash in hand, telling them what I need/want...
I'd be curious to hear what they said after they had a chance to check it over.
Thanks. I'm on it.
I bought O-rings from Billy for my 85 VF500F after the old ones were junk and leaking. Four of them ran me $7 also. And they were plain round...
Well, the fault is with me, not you. I wrote that last part wrong. It had been a while (4-5 days maybe? I start it during the day maybe 3-4 times)...
Good idea. I have not R&R'd the kill/start switch yet. When it won't start, it is DOA all around: no crank, no headlight, nothing. Like suddenly...
Yep, I just tried doing that again, and it never cut off. I also double-checked the main fuse. It's still in one piece and looks good.
Yep, I ran out of propane tonight on the grill, so I'll add it to the list for tomorrow.
Yeah, I check for spark every time it won't start by pulling out at least 2, sometimes all 4 plugs. And I then hit the starter and I don't see any...
Well, thanks to Invisible Cities I got a scan of the pulse generator test procedure....
Perfect! This will really help. Thanks a lot. Looks like I was right about the black coupler being the one also...
Got a page on the pulse generator on the 84 and how to check it? I've got a multimeter, and I can figure out which male/female block plug...
