I went and rebuilt my throttle bodies they were leaking gas pretty good. Phil mentioned when he rebuilt his one of them was missing the rubber seal altogether. So, I thought I would dig into mine. The leak was just the injector needing some cleaning, but I was in there already, so I replaced the bushings. When ordering the bushings its clear they're made to run at some low rpm they have a running class fit. Don't think that they're going very tight at all. I guess it helps with the throttle return having the throttle impeded might for no more posts.

Just feeling a bit funky.

I didn't know he is a Guzzi rider big plus for Billy Joel! I just needed a little distraction before getting back to it.

The caveat emptor express has been doing its thing. Hard to trust a rescue bike sometimes.

I just changed my manual petcock and after a week it seems the o-ring is starting to swell. Crap, guess I'll have to Phil's mod or I wouldn't be able to turn my gas off soon. Changing the petcock might not be as simple as it appears. Sean how was the bike stored was there still gas in the bowels? Might be residue on the floats they are precision instruments. You also need to check the metering needles for any pitting. You could get float and needle working just to have your mid-range trashed.

Those clips are pretty irrelevant. Don't know if that's Roy Buchanan's really family but that would certainly be a different side of the man. Most times he can be a real gunslinger. If your not familiar with Roy watch something like Roy Buchanan live form Austin, TX. Eva Cassidy go watch her cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow or Song Bird.

Doing a little digging, you have to Know some of their other work to really appreciate these.

Thanks for the offer Doc after retirement I only have to answer to the wifey. She is pretty understanding, she knows motorcycling and such trips are in my DNA. She knows the difference between crunching a bunch of miles and sight seeing trips.

Might be kind of late but next time you have the tank off pull the breather hose on the side of the frame. See if you have any mayo in there. If you do vacuum it out don't try to flush it.

I cooked up a big pot of kicking chili chicken and was feeling a little south of the boarder. I think I had my Sinko-deMayo going on. It's just beginning to feel like spring up north that's why the Sergio. With out getting too political with the current person in the white house those artists are not probably allowed in this country anymore.

If you go to COG (www.Centauro-Owners.com) Mike Delval he might still have a RH cylinder head.

So Bill does this mean you wouldn't be doing your Mutton Run this year? Thought I might try the Spine Raid this year so hope to see you there. Meet a few of the other inmates.

I guess I should do this while it's still March. (The Promise of Spring) Another blast from the past

After thinking on it the cover of Midnight Rider is not selling the melody like the original did. I just happened to like it. A better example just driving the melody would be more like The Who Eminence Front.

I hope you restore the Centauro as it was. Don't know how rough it is but it's a great looking bike. I own a V11 and a Centy and the Centauro just always gets more positive comments when I'm out riding it (that's the truth). Took a while for looks to hook me I really like it now.
