  1. My wife's grandfather would host Cajuns up her every year to hunt and hang out , James Edward would go there and spend time with them too . when the Cajuns were up here they made sounds NO ONE knew what they were saying ! Back in the 50s everyone in W Ky went to Jackson , Mi. to work . A friend said they would come back and visit and you " couldn't understand a thing they was sayin' ".
  2. Shelby Foote forgot more about The Civil War than most others thought they knew . He was incredible , his phone # was listed and he would talk to anyone . It was rumored ( and I hope this was true ) Everything he sent to the publishers was in longhand and was printed unabridged or unedited . He was a sacred among Civil War historians .
  3. You got that right ! I am "the man" of mistakes !
  4. Well , I have just carbon-dated myself !
  5. Hey , small world ! 16" front wheel ?
  6. I can't get past the amount of ex "heads" that own / have owned a Volvo .
  7. Hmmm , buddy there is submersible rubber hose in fuel injection systems ( US ) since the 80s . A good vendor is Gates . I would use this and the fuel injection hose clamps ( screw/nut ) . I have them in most sizes in bundles . Don't remember the brand . also , look on aircraft parts vendors websites . They DO NOT sell WalMart quality s**t .
  8. A quick glance of Phil's post , I thought he had "mental" detectors ?
  9. You can gravity bleed the clutch system if you don't have a Phoenix bleed system .Turn the bars to the left and crack the bleeder 1/2 turn and allow it to flow . I hope you remove the dust cap . This is pretty important . Three "fill ups" of the reservoir should get out any air of the system. Tighten the bleed screw . use a short 10 if you have one . Work the lever to make sure you have a good clutch pull .
  10. Get the front fork / wheel in a straight ahead position and secure it . Get innovative ! You are using the tubes to set front/rear tire tracking . You are using the swingarm adjusting screws to center the front wheel between the light tubes . When you get things like you want it , there will be 0 preload on the swingarm pivot pins . After you do this , it will be SO easy !
  11. Awrite ! That's what I did & it worked out perfect . I had a chain hoist & all kinds of stuff to keep mine upright .
  12. The red frame is Whitney , after the original owner , the black frame has no name nor does the 87 SE .
  13. The pressure & volume are ( simplifying things ) the only concern for fuel pumps .
  14. And whatever dope smokin' music you listened to . The one I can't figure out why I listened to was Kraftwerk ? They were out there !
  15. Did you dig out your old Golden Earring * 8 track tapes from under the seats when you said goodbye ?
  16. You got that right ! After the last one I saw on this site , they are all but unavailable !
  17. No ship ! Too much time with a mouse & not enough with a throttle grip .
  18. Hmmmm . Too much thinking about valve clearance ? I was only aware of "hot" & "cold" .
  19. It looked pretty rough to me .
  20. Some memories are better off not remembered
  21. MMMM. look through the inspection port and see if you can see the flywheel . See if you can get a magnet to stick .
