Looking for a temp gauge for my 82 LF. I would prefer an NOS one, but I will certainly entertain pretty much anything. New Breed doesn't have any of the range style in stock. If anyone has one they can spare I would appreciate it. Thanks.

As a reformed runner, a hearty congratulations. It is hard to truly understand what you have accomplished here, but rest assured, you are in a very exclusive club. Well done.

Well if it is the dryer, then obviously everything is okay. Right? But if it is the washer. Well ..........

Why, oh why, are you not in Canada!!!!

If you are calling the dash logo a metal sticky label that has John Deere printed on it in silver, (attaches to the front of the dash with 2-sided tape) I may have one on my bench.

That's a great day for sure. Always nice when the days of work pay off for hours of fun.

A few of the locals out for a tour - Thats my sweetie on her 99 Indy, My neighbor on his 92 Yammy, his buddy on an 87 Venture, me on my 80 440 Trailfire and my other neighbour on his 74 SkiDoo. Out terrorizing the locals on a Friday afternoon. What a great day!

The reason I ask is because I am working on an 80 Trailfire 440, and when I set the carb up so that the slide is flush to the top at WOT, and I release the throttle, the slide doesn't fall down far enough to come anywhere near the idle adjustment s...

Hey no problem Glad I could help. The paint looks pretty nice BTW.

Jimmy; That is too funny! Kind of reminds me of the time I fit a 4 x 4 x 1/4" sheet of plywood INSIDE a VW Fox! To say the looks on the faces of the people watching me was worth the price of admission is understating things. I rolled it into a tube to fit it in. Looked funnier that hell driving...

Has anyone ever put a VM34 power jet carb on a 440 Trailfire? Did it work, what did you use for jetting (I am thinking of just using whatever jetting is called for for an 80 Sportfire), was it worth it? Reason I am asking is I just came across a Kawasaki at the local "pick-and-pull" today ...

Found today at the local pick-and-pull"
Anyone need anything?
