  1. Stolen XX with camouflage paint job?
  2. Google 'chrome 1157'. But, to me they were too dim. For a classic analog bulb, I prefer the Sylvania 1157A SilverStars. They appear a little bluish when they are off , but bright amber when on.
  3. I bought two of the Honda EU2000i generators years ago and a Parallel Operation cable to connect them together for running the RV AC when it was called for. The two ran the single AC unit concurrently with the microwave with no problem. Tying them together with that cable kept them synched up.
  4. The brown wire does show to go through a connector in the harness, though. That would be a possible place for a loose pin/contact, if not corrosion.
  5. For point of reference, I keep 10 Battery Tender Plus brand smart trickle chargers (the "full sized" metal boxes) going all the time, and have for many years. If the cables are on the wrong posts, it just alternately flashes the red and green LEDs, doesn't care, and won't go any further in it's pre-charge test sequence. Two things could have happened. First, keeping a Tender on a battery won't make the battery last forever. The battery can gradually age and allow only a surface charge over time. When in float mode, the Tender doesn't know that and thinks it's doing a good job. Second, the Tender can die and act like it's working okay, even though it's not putting out 13-14 volts to the battery. The logic voltage can survive, but not the output. This can happen if it is running through a serious power brown-out. You can connect the Tender to a good battery and monitor with a volt meter to see if, once it goes to the red LED charge mode, the battery voltage slowly rises. It has to be hooked to a battery to read the voltage because even if it is working right, it won't put any output volts on the cables unless it is satisfied the battery is there and the polarity is right.

    Two gaskets on the oil filter?
  7. The latest Firefox on Windows 10 ver 2004. No issues during that session with other sites. Edit to add: Not seeing any of that behavior tonight. The other part: Previous to the overhaul, when I got to the bottom of a topic's page and went to the next page, it went to the top of the next page. If I backed up, it went back to the bottom of the previous page, where I came from. Now, it backs up to the top of the previous page.
  8. Oct 2, 2020 at 12:00-12:21, the server seemed to either be rebooting or going through some error recovery. It first came up with a content map at login, then acted like it was ignoring some mouse clicks, then, when backing out of the POTUS Debate thread, showed an incomplete Pub listing of threads. While I'm here, using the browser back button now backs me out to the top of the previous page instead of the bottom of the previous page. Is this by design?.
  9. I wondered how this was going to work out. I've had a set since about 1972. Had to replace the o-rings a couple of times. I can make pipe ends rounder, but have never been able to expand one.
  10. I've recently started using Firefox due to so many sites not working correctly with IE11. When I log on here with just http:\\, Firefox says this site is not secure, while IE11 doesn't care. When I try to log on here with https:\\, Firefox won't let me proceed at all, and IE11 says this site is not secure. Searching shows similar problems in 2017, but nothing more recent. Is this site not secure? Using the Firefox Advanced button leads me to
  11. Is the crankcase breather hose assembly still connected up properly and not crimped?
  12. Six years ago when my grandson, who lives with us, started seriously thinking about real cars instead of video games. We pulled the covers off so he could see what old iron looked and felt like. We put some air in the circa 1982 model tires. That was probably the last time it was completely uncovered. It is 50 years old now.
  13. The radiator shop I used growing up would unsolder the tanks and use flat rods to rod the radiator tubes out. I bought a '70 428 Mach I new that always ran hot. When stopped at a light or a train crossing, the dual vacuum advance/retard would run the idle up to 2000 RPM. Finally after a summer run from Louisiana back to the Texas Panhandle, it started blowing steam out of the top tank seam. I took it to Alvin's Radiator to have it repaired, and he said he found 1/3 of the tubes plugged with some strange stuff he had never seen before. He thought the stuff had probably been in there from day one. After he rodded the radiator and reassembled it, that car never overheated again. Running that hot did, however, cause the nylon teeth covering on the timing gears to eventually disintegrate. Luckily the engine wouldn't run, so it didn't plug up the oil pump intake.
  14. There was a factory recall on a possible seal leak on the LBS proportioning control valve. If fluid could get out, air might get in. The following are the results of a recall search for recalls on the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation web site. Make / Models : Model/Build Years: HONDA / CBR1100XX 2002-2003 HONDA / ST1300 2003-2004 HONDA / ST1300A 2003-2004 HONDA / VFR800 2002-2004 HONDA / VFR800A 2003-2004 Manufacturer : AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V010000 Recall Date : JAN 18, 2005 Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number Of Units Affected : 36046 Summary: CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH COMBINED-BRAKE SYSTEMS HAVE A PROPORTIONING CONTROL VALVE (PCV) THAT MECHANICALLY PROPORTIONS BRAKE FORCE WHEN THE REAR BRAKE IS APPLIED. A SEAL IN SOME PCVS IS IMPROPERLY SHAPED, AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR. Consequence: IF THE MOTORCYCLE CONTINUES TO BE USED AFTER A LEAK OCCURS, THE REAR BRAKE WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME INOPERATIVE. A LOSS OF REAR BRAKE FORCE COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE FORLEAKAGE. IF LEAKAGE IS CONFIRMED, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PCV. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 3, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 866-784-1870. Notes: HONDA RECALL NO. P65. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION’S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
  15. I'll throw this out here for the experts to shoot holes in: I think SPAL says use a 15 amp fuse at 13 volts for that VA22-AP11/C-50A * 6.5"S/12V fan, so two fans in parallel, two 15 amp circuits. Your main fuse is a 30 amp and the alternator is 460 watts output, which at 13 volts would be a tad over 35 amps total. That sounds like a pretty big fan load unless the fans pull a lot less than the 15 amps.
  16. Why couldn't a LEO submit a DNA sample from a crime to any or all of the services using a phony name to get a list of relatives as a place to start looking for a suspect?
  17. You might plug it to move it around until you replace it. It looks pretty well squared off. What is the DOT date on the tire? Riding solo, I rounded a bend into a box of cabinet staples scattered across the road. The rear tire caught several, but went down slowly enough to get to a spot to insert multiple plugs. The handling deteriorated a lot as the tire went down. Considering the riding pillion you're planning for the GT, I wouldn't risk it unless I had to.
  18. It kind of looks like the bulb in the lower chamber might be the one connected to the low beam wiring instead of the correct bulb in the upper chamber. It would take a lot of adjustment to get the low beam down far enough. Maybe the bulb is not completely seated in the housing socket.
  19. cbrman97 may be new to this board, but he has owned a Bird longer than most if not all. It's not necessary to pile miles on a Bird or farkle it to appreciate it, just admiring it from any angle gives a great sense of satisfaction.

  21. Look at the date. He could only upload a few of the pictures he took into the original thread.
