This beauty belongs to my wife,, Her Daddy left it to her.. 1981, 305 4bbl, auto, 34,500 miles.... I tuned it up . tap the pedal hit the key, and Vroom.. it has sat for so long that it does smell like a push mower for a minute or so,, but when you drive it.... It friggin floats on a cloud, and you can let go of the wheel and will stay in the lane.. I get nervous when I park it in a parking lot around here... jojo

Dammit !!! TJC... You always want to 'Pop' my balloon... Luv U , Jojo

they kick a$$... I put my sportster through hell... but I can jump on it right now and run it hard some more... It is a block of iron under my A$$.. jojo

Just imagine (Re-Imagine) what it would be like here in the U.S. if Half the concern for Ukraine, was given to us... Real Americans.... jojo

I love bikes.. My wife and I have these Jewel's.. The Honda was her Daddy's, I bought it for her from her brother. I had the sportster since 2003, The Duece,,,,, well.... one day my Wife, looked at me (after riding bitch on the sportster for 2 years) Say's,,,, and I quote..... "Jojo, You need a bigger Harley" After I got up off the floor, I went shopping... The instant I saw that beautiful blue machine, I bought it !!! Of course a few years later, my lovely wife say's (who I guess had a plan) Jojo, I Want A trike ! So there it is.... She has it for 3 years now... It's about time for her to plant her A$$ in the seat this year.. Jojo

so you dont have a Mack shift knob with the range switch in front and a gray colored splitter on the left side, that is horizontal? what year are we talking about here?

D-Day... that is awesome!!! jojo

DCW,,,, way to many likes need to be posted by me... instead..... WOW!!!! you are amazing.. the 4 post lift is awesome... I have a motorcycle table lift that works great, but what you made looks amazing... jojo

no doubt...

Those damn peanut's.... they can fool you into thinking its tranny noise. the drive shaft is a tube, and carries the noise up to the tranny... jojo

definately strange... i remember posting in it several times.. its back now jojo

yes, the line going to the side of the compressor head. it may go to the intake manifold to get it air supply..

its funny how the current nominee for the supreme court is "Grilled" and there is only 8 more hours of questioning... but when Brett and Amy were nominated, it was longer and the questioning was abusive, Brett was called a racist and a sexual preditor, Amy was called a right wing religious kook and a racist, but her and her husband adopted 2 Hattian children.. so to me... if you are white,, no matter how great you are,,,, you are,,,, 'a racist'.. but of course this current lady, who may very well be 'qualified' is only here because she is black.. So who are the real 'racist's'? it's not me and my Republican friend's and many other people i know... It is simple.. it's our current Democrats.... it is truly sad to me... at a time where WE ALL need to be together, once again,,,, The Dem's want to make it Black and White..... Jojo

My girl want's a canary yellow 359... with bug eye headlights... well.... there goes my Superliner... and she just wants to drive it to the grocery store and to work.. She's back cutting hair again... Who is she??? jojo

my wife wont tell stories here.. too bad.. she kick's A$$... when I met her she was driving a Columbia day cab pulling a 3 bay hopper, hauling cement dust, or rice, or fly ash, she would drag those 5" hoses out and hook up and blow off... (That sounded kinda kinky) anyway, she could put her purse down and do it!!! just sayin' jojo

I love a DM... looks like a twin stick, X107 is my guess... I drove a couple of them for a little while.. I would be proud to own one.. jojo

I bet her Daddy would school us on that machine.. We all love the Cowboy in the movie... He was it! on the job. ok, time for me to stop crying, I cant see the F'n keyboard.... jojo

Mech, you are awesome... I just told my wife about what I know about you, from this site...( she drove for 34 years) her daddy ran a motor grader til he was 76 ( he started at 17,, and his boss man said it was 'time' he WAS a company man with his son's workin for the same company... and my beautiful wife as well.... I wasnt raised this way, but, I love these kind of people... I wish my wife would write some of her stories... "She's Tough" that was her Daddy's sayin all the time... he lives with God now, But I wont ever forget the Man... Jojo

you nailed it Bob.... jojo

can he use a Schwitzer S400 SO41? just curious... I see them on E-7's... I am not a guy that knows turbo specs.. so if you need to get technical, I will just watch and maybe learn something... jojo

cac leaks, top right corner is common. intake gaskets can fail, air compressor intake can fail, major exhaust manifold leaks... just to name a few,,, jojo

ok.. i understand better.. that is normal. when looking at the tops of the celenoids, do you see the little round pin sticking up out of the hole, ever so slightly? both should look that way. if not, the celenoid is weak. also when you jump power to them they should click pretty firmly,, you can come of the alternator with a wire and 2 alligator clips to make a tester.. in one of the pictures, there is a 90 degree fitting in the jake head,, that is part of the performance update that is NOT done to yours.. jojo

grab a 3/4" wrench and remove one of the celenoids.. there should be a green oring around it and a smaller white one, in the base, both are square cut o-rings.. replace those and test it again.. jojo

ok. the update was not done.. if oil is squirting out around the bottom of the celenoid, it sounds like they are loose and or the orings failed.. jojo

i wish i could see it... my other question, was about small braided oil lines going through the spacer to the top of the engine brake housing. any way.... oil will squirt from the top of the celenoids,, if it is coming out anywhere else, that will cause poor performance. if you have a leak, get the oring packs and replace them. jojo
