    Spring Startup: Running a bit rough, why?

    Good thought, I took a look and they are cracked. I don't know if they're leaking but to be safe I just bought 4 new caps and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip.

    Spring Startup: Running a bit rough, why?

    If you take your time it's not a knucklebuster, just tedious and time consuming. The VT700c Honda, on the other hand, is a total bitch. Twin carbs wedged in between the 45° engine V. Very tight and almost as bad as taking a rack of 4 off a CB550. Now that will make the Pope curse...

    Spring Startup: Running a bit rough, why?

    Thanks, yeah let me know if that fixed it. If after two tanks with treated gas it is still rough and lean I'll pull the carbs and blast out the passages with compressed air and floss the jets.

    Spring Startup: Running a bit rough, why?

    Dug the 07 Bonneville out of the garage on Monday (before we got another 8" of snow on MAY FRICKIN 2nd). Started, died, started, died, started, died, started, idling a little rough. Let 'er warm up a bit and then when for a little spin, it tried to die a few times when taking off from...

    Supply vs Demand at the Local Gun Shop

    On the upside, locally we're seeing increasing inventories of AR's and other EBR's, but on the downside ammo is still basically unavailable. I checked 3 stores last week and the only .22LR ammo on the shelves were a few boxes of Fed. #12 shot 'snakeloads'. No 9x19mm, no .40 S&W, no .45...

    Supply vs Demand at the Local Gun Shop

    Wow, KingBear you did awesome on that! I was helping out at my LGS back in August and one guy bought 5 DPMS Oracle AR-15's for $700 each. In January he sold 4 of them back to the store for $1200 each (he profited $2000) and they sold all four the same day to other customers for $1600 each...

    To the firearms enthusiasts on the board:

    Just an FYI, there is a special running on an NRA Life Membership going until 2/28/13. Normally it costs $1000 but until then you can join or upgrade for $300. Here is a link to the offer and a hotline #. It says "for Shooting USA (TV program) viewers" but anyone can take advantage of the...

    Supply vs Demand at the Local Gun Shop

    You probably could! Especially on that Carbon-15, pretty much every AR from the Olympic Arms on up are being sold for a MINIMUM of $1500. Anything considered 'high-quality' or with nice accessories (free-float handguard, fluted barrel, varmint length, two-stage triggers, etc) are going for...

    Supply vs Demand at the Local Gun Shop

    A month ago my favorite gun shop was selling DPMS Oracle AR-15 variants for about $700-900. Not the most excellent AR around, but not trash. Just needs a better trigger, mostly. Of all types/brands, they had about 60 AR style rifles/carbines - a month ago. Yesterday I stopped in and they...

    prayers to the children and parents

    Just woke up from my day-sleep and read the news... Awful. Disgusting. Sickening. No adequate words to describe this. :mad: The debate will rage on soon enough, today lets just hang our heads and hold each other close. If your kids are young, give 'em an extra hug. If they're out of...

    Akita - Shmakita...it's on!!

    Thanks for the pix, I like to see how different folks store their kit on the Bonnie's. You really can haul a lot of stuff if you're smart about it, and it looks like you are! :) -K

    Akita - Shmakita...it's on!!

    That's on my 'bucket list' (oh how I loath that phrase) too. Another one is starting out around Seattle or thereabouts and heading up the Al-Can highway all the way up to Fairbanks. I have no idea how many miles or how long that'd take, but man, it'd be epic! A few years ago some guys and...

    Akita - Shmakita...it's on!!

    Man I bet the scenery is amazing around there! (probably nothing like the Great Plains, lol!) Looking forward to see some of those vids once you're back! :) -K
