@@DavidMtn Thank you.

I enjoy visiting Ashland. It is very laid-back with a small hometown feel to it. I worked at the plant for a couple of years. The people there were great to work with. I can see how you may have gotten in trouble playing on the coal piles. They ran end loaders around that area and may have been afraid of not seeing you.

@davidross5169 That is a beautiful area. If you switch over to the Minnesota side, it is a beautiful drive along the Mississippi River. I try to do it at least twice a year on the motorcycle. If you hit it just right when the leaves are turning colors, it is breathtaking. There are a lot of trains going through. You can get on the observation deck and look right down on the top of the train. You can also watch barges and boats go through the locks.

Last time I was there, they were selling cheese out of the company store.

Each gauge is connected to a carburetor. The needle valves between the carb and gauge are used to smooth out the pulsations of the needle and give you an average easier to read reading. You just close the needle valve enough to remove most of the pulsation, but still give a vacuume reading. I hope that explanation is answering your question.

​@@OnTheEdgeNowI agree, but the question is why does the measuring device show a red field during calibration, which informs about the engine misfire or lack of vacuum? e.g. 12:24 (printed on the vacuum gauge dial)

When adjusting each carb individually, it is possible to adjust into a position where that cylinder is not running well. For example, when adjusting the idle mixture, it is common to adjust the mixture lean, and rich, and then adjust for the best running in-between. At the lean and rich adjusting point, the cylinder will not run well.

@@OnTheEdgeNow FYI. You need a part 107 certification to post to a monetized channel. It looks like you don't have any ads.

@@curtisanderson8365 I do not monetize any of the videos on my channel. I am a recreational flyer.

I think I bought it at one of my local auto parts stores. I originally bought it to work on the brakes on my car, but it also works well on my cycle.

@@OnTheEdgeNow I just bought one last night on Amazon for a reasonable price. In my case, and I just fully realized it yesterday when riding it for the first time in a few weeks (due to TX heat) was that I had close to zero rear brakes so I was depending on my front brakes. (local drive). When I got home I could see the calipers weren't budging when I hit the brakes. I had my fluid replaced by a mechanic about 5 or 6 years ago front and rear. And I don't see any fluid leaks. So in one Group on FB, it's either that the piston in the caliper is seized up or the master cylinder is junked up. In either case, step one is to at least eyeball the fluid in the container. And if it looks ok, to take the caliper off and and see what it does off the wheel. Those kinds of things.

@cranstjs I always try the simple things first. In my case, I don't believe the fluid was ever changed, so I think my fluid was in bad shape. With the rear brake reservoir by the exhaust and living in Texas, I imagine the fluid sees its fair share of heat. Making sure the caliper pins are not froze is another good thing to check. Good luck on getting everything back into good working order.

@@OnTheEdgeNow Thanks. The issue I'm having now is, because my rear brakes weren't working at all to stop the bike, I took the caliper off and exercised the brake once. I saw a little bit of movement. I move the pads out of the way and pumped the brake pedal about 8 times and the piston moved about 3/4". So it's moving out for sure. But then I tried to use a c-clamp to push the piston back in and it wouldn't budge. I loosened the cap at the reservoir and still no. So today I got the bleed kit and did a bleed of only about 5 ml and lo and behold, the piston would move in wiht the bleed screw still loosened. (I have a syringe type bleeder vs your pump type.). BUT, when I tightened up the bleed screw and tried that exercise again, again I couldn't push the piston it. I tried loosening the cover of the reservoir and again, can't push the piston in. I have suspicion that this is a problem with the master cylinder which is supposed to allow it to relax the piston when you let off the brakes. I'm still testing however.

@@OnTheEdgeNow Well I experiemented a little more and as long as I open the bleed screw I can get the piston all the way in. So I decided, after the full flush (and I made more a mess than you did. But I cleaned it up) to reassemble everything and put it back on the wheel. I rolled the bike out to the driveway, pumped the brakes a few times, and voila, I have brakes again and they relax. Go figure. I will give it the acid test with a ride tomorrow.

Front wheel bearings are sealed. A light coat of grease on the axle may help in assembly.

You have to tip the bike up straight in order to get the jack under on my bike. Then it will slide right in.

@@OnTheEdgeNow I wonder why my craftsman bike jack sucks!

@@rushtk2112 I bought an OTC jack. The arms are longer than most, so it is easier to place under the bike.

Air shock helps to get the jack under lol

You are welcome.

A lot of new filters come pre-lubed now.

You are welcome.

You are welcome. Hope the video helps you out.

I have had a few questions about the external gas tank I use, so I will make a short video when the weather gets a little better.

They are the stock controls that come on the 1300r model.

In my area you can take used oil to an automotive repair shop. Most places will take small quantities for free or a small fee. By looking on the internet, you should be able to find places locally that will recycle it.

I am not sure if I understand your question, but there are four bolts that hold the motor on. The shell has to be split in two to get access to the wires.

@@OnTheEdgeNow I'm replace all the guts of phantom 3. Was searching bigger motors. Found its 19x16

@divingfalconfpv4602 OH, I gotcha. Glad you found the info.

When I started doing drone videos, my friend said they were boring. I thought about using sound effects and came across the jet engine. When I played the video back, for some reason, it struck me funny. I have been using it ever since.
