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!

1986 Voyager XII no start

Post by angrygerman1945 »

:gmad: I'm a newbie to the motorbike world- this is my first bike. It was gifted to me from the chapter president of a local MC that knew I wanted to get into the culture.
Anyway, the bike sat for 5 years after it's owner passed away. I received the bike, washed it, put a new battery in it...and it started! Ran super rough- but it ran. Knowing I'd certainly need a tune up, carb rebuild(etc...etc..) I covered it and started getting parts in order. Now, a week later- no start. Changed fuel pump- still no start. It leaked fuel out of the left side of the carb assembly prior to storing it a week, but still ran. Now, nothing. Will start with ether- but acts as if it's not getting fuel.

Only change I made was the pump, and fresh gasoline.
Please help!

Well, fuel, spark, and compression. If it wants to run on ether, I'd start with whether the float bowls have gas in them -- there's a drain on the bottom.
