I knew Pete would never believe that your bilge was dirty.

Goes back to what I said before...you needed to do that floor with plexi-glass so we all could check 'er out.

Keep on and see where it gets you!    

And what the heck do you think I'll be doing with my spare time before the hoochy run? Yep, cleaning up the messes Amy makes before everyone gets here.      

Got it.

Had to pick the engine back out and literally hammer the pins out. Three out of four were so corroded in place that they would never have budged. Cleaned them up, gave them a shot of anti-seize, and got it aligned. Got within .001 and figured that was just going to have to work for now. Man alive, that project sucked! Sure am learning a lot throughout this project. Almost makes me want to do it again to see how much better it would go the second time around.... almost.

Thanks again gents for the tips!

I have no idea why my sig line does that Pete as you might guess...

BTW...our new "friend" over on the carb thread is really giving it to you. He is an equal opurtunity abuser. I won't post on there again but I am watching. Wonder how long Keith is gonna leave him on.

You think this is why Greg took the pumpkin patch apart so many times? Maybe he was learning so much and having so much fun?

Thanks for the tip Ryan but not sure how to get rid of these return things..even if I knew what they were!

I had some fun to be sure. If yall knew the whole story you'd really laugh at me!

John, all that is mostly 'cause I didn't do it right the first time. Like Jody mentioned on another post...so very much is in the experience.

John,

I'm always in and out of motorcycles. I don't have a bike right now... sold my 06 Fat Boy a couple months ago. Loud as hell with the cam and pipes that were on it. Had a Road Glide before that, nice bike but the fairing was too low and too far forward for me and the buffeting beat the crap out of me on trips. My next bike will most likely be a Road King, probably pick it up over the winter. The wife says no bike shopping until she gets a ride in my finished boat... Fair enough. She probably figures with another distraction I might never finish this project... I hate it when she's right!

What are you riding?

Ryan
