FJowners.com Has Reached a New Low

Hmmm, a viable exception to the ATGATT rule if ever there was one.    

That's not a violation, just a different interpretation : All The Goodies All The Time

whether something said or written is considered to be offensive or not is not typically up to the person who said or wrote it. I have done my fair share of offending (hurting, pissing off) others when it was not my intention to do so.

And I quote "I originally thought you were one of the intelligent ones here..."  I'm not sure how to not be offended by that...  that sounds pretty judgmental and who the fuck are you anyway?

Then you go on to rant about my mob nature and what the fuck ever.

I said I was done and I am...  I doubt I'm smart enough to give you any advice anyway.

Frank

BTW - you were likely the kind of Enlisted guy I would have knocked heads with...  I think your head would have broken first.  Oh wait... I'm sure you think that's a threat or something.  It's not.  I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

I would definitely piss on you, Frank!

Still clinging to the "me officer, you enlisted" mentality heh?  The only actual difference, being money.  And since then I've been. To college, that is.  Money can buy and sell many things, but it can never do that to me, how about you? Anybody?

Again Frank, I was only ever reacting to those that would throw stones before knowing if they really should, and due to my anxiety, and the nature of it's existence, I'm a little quick on the trigger of defense.  But then you already knew that, due to our first go around, that I apologized for, if you remember correctly.  The better man easily admits that he made a mistake. Or that he's capable of doing so.

And for the record, I don't believe that "just ride the fucker" or "ride the damned thing" qualifies as the best advice possible, actually they sound kind of loaded! With both impatience and disdain. Intentional?  Then seconded?  Wow! That's not how I "help" people.  Or at least I surely aspire not to.

If no one has anything "nice" or "constructive" to say, then why take the time to do otherwise, when it's much easier to just be a passerby, shaking their head, moving on to spend their valuable time, on something they actually care about.  Unless one only cares about selfishly letting another know that they're tired of them. That's just not me, nice, or what many would do face to face.  It tends to be a web thing, a frustration/stress reliever, at anothers expense.  And I always try and be bigger than play that game.

I just believe that politeness goes a long way. Until I'm insulted of course, then they deserve the exact same treatment, right. I'm talking to you's that believe you've been slighted?  Though with any sort of effort, misunderstanding can be sorted out, if the parties involved care to take the time.  Is it worth it?  Those that care might think so.

Then I've also never taken advantage of someone with an illness, but that's just me I guess. There's just no "real" victory in it, unless one is just as encumbered as the one with the illness of course; birds of a feather?  Or that's where one places oneself when they participate in such endeavors.

PEACE to all those that prefer it!  As it's just rhetoric for those that may find something contained within it.

P.S. The bike is still not capable of being ridden, in case you were wondering, carb problems still.  Thanks to all those that have and shall help.  It's always much appreciated, and shall always be payed forward, if I'm capable.

Why is the bike not rideable? I recall in the other post that you had taken it out the other day and got it up to 85 mph.

I'm having problems with fuel dripping out of the...  well before I wasn't certain, but now it seems as though it's the orifice opposite the air jet on the rear (air box side) of carbs 1 & 2.  Thank god for the vacuum actuated petcock or the tank would go dry overnight.  It seems to be intermittent but with greater frequency as time has gone by.  It started immediately after using E10 and Lucas Ethanol stabilizer for the first time.  Up until then I was using 100% real gasoline with no ethanol.  I just can't keep paying $5.00/Gal for the good stuff.  Although it could have been a coincidence. Of course now it might be coming out of the overflow tubes, since the carbs are now on the bike again and as such are tilted forward instead of being level.

I have replaced the needle seat o-rings with the ones in Randy's/David's SS screw/o-ring kit, making sure to use the correct ones; also the needle valves (just yesterday); I have checked that the needle seats are in fact round, (not binding the needles), they spin freely; that the floats are square to one another, (that both floats provide the same amount of buoyancy), also that their swing is not being obstructed by portions of the carb body, (this can happen if they are misaligned due to an improper technique during tang bending, or other sloppy handling); set the float height to .88 in. +- .04 in. (pretty damn close anyway); made sure the float pivot pin is not bent, thus binding the free swing of the float arm; ensured the float needle seats mating surface has no damage or buildup; ensured that the floats are not taking on fuel, by lightly shaking them; and I have done a through cleaning by soaking the carb bodies. When I first opened the bowls to check out the situation, I did notice some sediment, what looked like iron oxide, though I did a through corrosion removal from the tank with Rusteco, ensuring to flush with water until it ran clear, still some could have been trapped in the tight crevices due to the design of the tank, then dried thoroughly with compressed air.  A fuel sample from the tank seems to be translucent. I finally got them to hold fuel on the bench, so I installed them again tonight, then synced and test drove, again the idle was racing about 2k after being ridden for a while, so tomorrow I'll readjust it, also the smell of fuel is obvious again, though I've seen no drips yet.  Also it's been running extremely rough during warm up coughing, sputtering, sometimes obviously not on all cylinders, due to flooding, I assume.  After it warms up and is running at other than idle, it smooths out, and runs pretty good, even at idle, but it has to be really warm.  When I turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes, even though it's still quite warm it starts all over again until I run it at higher than idle.  I see that this is due to being flooded, or so it surely seems.

It's really starting to wear on me.  I'm going to run it tomorrow, because I have to take my wife to work.  Obviously I'm not going to rest until I've stopped the wasted fuel/money/gas mileage.
