Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!
Got a tech tip for Voyager 12's from your personal experiences, or one complete with pictures and instructions, here's where to post it. You can also ask about tips or procedures here.
My word man... there was a lot of stuff down around the Spark plugs... I got it out with my shop vac and air compressor and a long wire for scraping..... Fun fun fun.. I don't think anyone has changed these since it was new... I'm gonna design a boot to cover that cavity... I found a 15 amp fuse in one of them.. Oh by the way,, I hate post without photo's... You guys need to learn to post some photos....lol ...Step up your game boys....
Somebody posted a long time ago, the suggestion of using a rubber hose to install/remove plugs. Get a hose that fits snugly over the plug top, insert the plug into the hole, and carefully twist it in place by holding the hose. Reverse this process for removal: loosen the plug first, with a proper socket, then slip the hose over it, and twist to remove. One of the best tech tips, ever. Cheers!
Yeah, been doing that for years, thanks, getting the plugs out wasn't any problem it took me about 20 minutes per hole in cleaning time though....Some of that stuff was caked in there 1/2" deep... It's good now...
I found this at Harbor freight and it is the perfect tool to get the crud that collects down around the spark plugs, mine was nightmare ish LOL I also used a shop vac with a special attachment..attachment is about $5.00
What i didn't see mentioned is to be sure the drain hole is clear (at least i think there is one) as part of the cleaning.

Yep, that's one thing I didn't mention, part of the cleaning process is getting the drain hole as well , I hooked a special attachment to the shop vac to suck the crap out of there...I found myself using both the blower and the vac...My word... That's never happening again...It was a pain...
Little Beaver, I looked on the Harbor Freight site and found no air chucks like this. Do you have any number or other identifyer that I could do a search on? Thanks
